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)

And men don't?

After so much "Waka Waka" in the context I already expect you to understand! That is, the assumed stop to jumping from one bed and/or d.ick and/or womanliness to another!

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.

U made a lot of sense!

Rather that us when you are EXPECTED to stop all those irresponsible acts that come with being single and get responsible!

Unfortunately, a lot of people want to get married but NEVER want to settle down!

No more jumping around from one person to another in the name of having a relationship.

You're now with one person for life. You've finally pitched your tent, and settled down.

My 2 kobo.

I don't know the kind of married people you know, but the ones I know have been together and will keep being together, till death do them part.

That's settling down. One man, one woman.

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

So a more apt alternative would be...tying down? grin

In my opinion I think that phrase is a misconceptions. If you are not settled as a single guy or lady how on earth will marriage settle you.
