Dating Down... Why do we Settle ?

Why do most people keep dating the wrong individual? Now I could go down a long list of words.

Shallow, Image, Naïve, and we can’t forget low self esteem.  Or could it be we keep looking in the wrong places for a good partner. Hint: The local bar name “Face Down, A$$ UP” would not be a good place. *Note to self all churches are not good place to start that search also.

Why do we lower our standards and date down? And if you know you are dating up, why haven’t you step your game up.
