I have a friend/coworker who is killing me, I swear. I just want to grab her by her uber-permed 1991 hair and SCREAM until my throat is raw, "WHY are you dating a bucktoothed, illiterate, UGLY, scuzzy, passionless IDIOT?" I mean, this isn't like settling for a guy who's a little homely but really nice to her and showers her with love and gifts. This guy's a jerk about her religion and has never taken her out for a date to anywhere but McDonald's and the DMV. (I'm not kidding.)
Sure, she's fat, but very pretty. She has beautiful, strong-looking legs. She's a hard worker. And God forgive me for the stereotype, but she has beautiful eyes and overall a pretty face. She's not ugly or stupid or cursed with a bad figure.
She's been dating him for a matter of WEEKS (six or eight), and they're talking marriage. He's 24 and doesn't do his own laundry. His mom (who has MS) or grandma does it. He does not cook his own meals because he doesn't know how to cook. If his mom is out of town, he eats at his grandmother's, or now, his girlfriend's. He literally didn't know how to turn the stove on. (From what I understand, he looked for the knobs around the burner. Ryan already asked if he was learning disabled, and no, he's not.) She is not allowed to go over to his apartment. They must hang out either at his mom's or at her mom's. She's 28 and has a college degree. He cannot read.
Seriously, WHY do women settle? I know this has been done over and over, but I'm puzzled.
