What's the difference between settling and compromising?
I always thought settling referred to decision making about who you are willing to be in a relationship with, and compromising referred to decision making about issues within a relationship. I have never used the word 'compromise' in reference to a person, only when speaking of conflicts or disagreements with that person. *shrugs*
I wonder if she means what's the difference between settling and lowering your standards???
Maybe I'm too idealistic, but unless you are determined to marry royalty when you yourself(not the OP, just the general 'you') only have a 4th grade education and look like you've never heard of a dentist (very extreme example but you get what I'm saying) I don't really agree with settling OR lowering your standards Unless your standards are ridiculously high, or you're not as intelligent, hard working and attractive as the man you want to be with.
I don't really understand the point of the question Help me out OP?
