hmm. it seems like you're not applying me here because i'm not one of those women with a set timeline, nor do i desire the white picket fence/2.5 kids/minivan american dream. but i'm replying anyway because this is an interesting subject. :P
no.. i would not just "settle".
i have very high standards for myself with what i want and what i look for. at times, even turning down relationships i know would be meaningless or a fling. i am comfortable with being on my own, if need be. i would rather be by myself than in a relationship i wasn't happy in. if i were to marry, it would be for the right reasons... not just to give in to my "role" in society. it would be with the right guy. and it wouldn't be a loss of identity for myself at all.
