S1E9 - In A City of Great Expectations, Is It time To Settle For What You Can Get?

I've never been the kind to settle for what I can get. If I did, I would be married to a guy who would probably have sold me to prostitution because he is too lazy to look for a job. Didn't happen. Or to another guy who was probably a male prostitute at the rate he was going. True story.

'Just settling' is like making a homemade porno flick with your boyfriend/girlfriend. It might seem like a good idea when hormones are doing the thinking but the moment it's up on gutterpost, you're fucked. Literally. So settling for what you can get right now might seem like the most convenient thing to do but is it really? What about 10 years down the road when you start questioning yourself. Or when regret starts creeping in, and all that what ifs start raping your mind? The only thing you would be able to turn back would be your head to see what the hell you married and got yourself into.

It's true that sometimes the dating game can be draining, both mentally and emotionally. And sometimes you just feel sick of all the twat bags you come across that the first decent guy you meet, you feel the need to cling on. Or if you're attached, he might irk you so bad you want to stab him in the eye with a rake. But compared to all the douchebags out there, he suddenly seems... 'passable'. And that's when you decide to settle. Well, if there's a reason for you to take that rake out of the shed in the first place, I'm sure you'll be needing it again when that complacency you have over him being 'passable' subsides in 3 weeks.

So settle a score, settle a debt, settle to the metal, just don't settle with what you can get. You deserve more than that.

But hey, who am I to say anything? My perspectives might change in 5 years when all the decent ones are taken and all that's left are the twat bags I filtered 5 years ago. At that point, I will just settle with batteries.
