I settled - at a much earlier age than this woman is talking about. I tried to convince myself that wasn't the case, but it was. And it was a mistake. The little things that 'did not matter' became serious issues when other stresses were put on the relationship, for both of us - because, despite his insistance to the contrary, I believe he settled too.
I'm finally in a reciprocal relationship where I find my man lacking in not one area and now I understand the difference.

Very true. So much of what we do is
reacting that expectation
can dictate the course of events.
