What makes a man settle down?
Some of the reasons that make a man settle down are:
- He reaches a stage in his life where he realises that he does not want to spend the rest of his life alone. He would rather use a strong partner by his side to support him through the highs and lows of life
- Casual dating no longer interests him, he’s looking for something more. Meeting too many women who he isn’t really interested in has become a tiresome exercise
- He starts disliking meaningless physical intimacy with different women
- When he probably meets the ideal woman in his life
- He craves for true love which is enriching, giving, caring and fulfilling
- He becomes financially independent and personally competent, which makes him want to settle down with one woman once and for all
- The insistence of family members and friends might make him settle down
