Maybe that is how American settlers of the West got their name. They 'settled' for what they could get. Their needs were a lot different than our needs today. It was more of a working marriage (literally) they were seeking. Men & women needed each other to fulfill basic needs of existance. I think if I had been a settler way back when, I would have been much less particular about my mate than I am today. I would have checked his teeth to make sure he had a full set. Things like that.
Mind you knowing me, I may still have worn rhinestones on my longjohns
