people say it every time! I wanna settle down. she has finally settled down, when will your sister settle down? bla bla bla. are singles roaming about? I mean both literarily n metaphorically? der r married men out der who r serial cheats n married women who can't do wit just one man. can we say such people are settled down just cos der hv a ring in der fingers? wot do u call a single guy practicing abstinence?? who coined dat phrase settle down? someone better answer me.

It's called 'settling down' not because thats what people actually do. But because that's what people are supposed and expected to do when they get married.

Its called settling down cos you are saddled with some family responsibilities that ordinarily you've not have done while you were single.

you ought to know girls can't use their brains for thinking, they don't like the 'stress'.

As for your topic, I guess single people are always jumping from one partner to another so settling down probably means its time to stop the race and end up with just one.

But these days the race never ends, even in marriage ladies still run around various diicks (excuse my french)

No, how about we go on a campaign on the need to stay settled when married?

It's called settling down because that's the only institution that is expected to last forever. once you're in, you're in..no going back, you have to settle with what you've. .... but the case is different now
