Should you settle for less?

The latest trend is for women supposedly to settle for less of a man than they deserve. Women are being told to be happy accept a man that brings less to the table than you do. Is this what we should be doing ladies? Is is that crucial to have a man to accept less and settle for nothing? Being single isnt a curse but dumbing ourselves down for a person that is lesser than us is. Lets talk about this people, fellas if you got an opinion let me know. As we ladies step up please tell me why you fellas can't do the same. Remember your income and your life  will reflect the income and the life of the five people closest to you.
