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. 50 Likes 1 Share |

Its called settling down cos you are saddled with some family responsibilities that ordinarily you've not have done while you were single. 3 Likes 1 Share |

killjoy: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) 5 Likes |

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 1 Like |
