Recently while judging and analyzing the relationships within my peripheral view I began to exam the notion that as we get older we begin to settle. And yes, I said it..."judging and analyzing". Unfortunately us humanly creatures judge, it is unfortunate but true. Those of you who say you don't judge, really mean you try not to.
So are we settling... with our careers, partners, non partners, universities, food, politics?
Is it just me or does it feel like humanity (ok let me not be so dramatic, nothing worse than someone who settles and is dramatic), like the people around us have just lost their fight. Whatever happened to charging to Capitol Hill, the hippies of the 70's, using up all your freedom of speech tickets when you felt injustice had been served??! Now you order a plain cheese pizza and when you pick it up the man covered in flour hands you a pepperoni pizza and you know it’s not what you ordered yet you pay for it quietly. Then you rush home to your wife whose already wearing the pants anyways and blame the mistake on yourself (nothing worse than a man without his man pants, than a man without his pants admitting he settled for the pizza he didn't order). You get my drift though?
Where'd we go? Do we tend to settle for the brunette cause the blond dyes her hair anyways, do we settle for the store brand cause the Pepsi cost more, do we settle for the fast food because eating a home cooked meal takes longer, do you settle on like because love doesn't go your way, but worse than all this...did you settle in life because you lost the will to fight? What do you think, are we settling?

We "settle" for the brunette because we eventually realize the blond is a raging bitch.
Sure we settle a little here. Namely because challenges become harder and more significant as we go further in life. In relationships however, I think most of it is the process of maturing and shifting value to that which is more important.
Many have to settle in order for few to get what they want. If a good is depleted when used, it will not be available to all.
I'd fight for my pizza if I have the time and I really really wanted it. But it is a matter of picking my fights really.
Do not settle in relationships. It might sound just as important as a pizza, but do not be fooled... it is not! I married the same awesome woman twice for fucks sake! I know what I want and am lucky enough to have her walking with me. (Twice now!)
Hippies are too busy now being lawyers and congressional fuckwads to merit mentioning aside from their psychedelic fag music and Vietnam.
Oh and "(nothing worse than a man without his man pants, than a man without his pants admitting he settled for the pizza he didn't order)", remember that line next time a sensitive man tells you he believes in love, or wants to please you by doing what you want.
Might women consider they are "settling" when the sensitive guy wants to please her and is not a push-over prick?
Carry the pants, get some head.
