I agree that "settling" is not gender-specific and it happens all the time. But it having to do with the notion that they can't do any "better"? Now that's a word that I think shouldn't come into play if you're looking for love. When you love someone, you don't keep searching for something better - it's not about having the best girl or guy you can get your hands on. At least not for me...

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
