Gal after my own heart. And, there are single men on FR who have said they *would* settle because they don't want to wait until they're 72 to have children. Or, they'd rather have foreign wives with no opinions. Makes me even more skeptical of single men now. Where have all the good, decent, and relatively attractive guys gone?
Don't lower your standards. Period.
