Do you think every relationship has a reacher and a settler?

I first heard about it in How I Met Your Mother. Is it true, though?

Every toilet has floaters and sinkers.

Not every🤣 I pity those who see those everyday🤣

Nah. I don’t think it’s that easy. People are more complex than that.

i think this is right to a certain degree but it's more in various aspects of the relationship. so it may be you might settle for someone who chews with their mouth open but reach for the same person who is amazing at finances.

no one person is amazing at everything. we each have our flaws that our partner has to settle for (aka price of admission tm dansavage). ultimately people should balance out what each bring to the table.

the more reaching and settling, the more unstable the relationship is.

lol, there's definitely A LOT more variables/possibilities than those too (where both variables are more or less traditional - by modern standards).

Relationships are a lot like cooking. It's mainly about the available ingredients and how they get mixed together. Tho, beyond bad cooking and dishes that didn't turn-up right - "it's also a matter of taste". And there's a HUGE variety of tastes (traditional, pragmatic, open, BDSM flavored and anything in between) - even opposites from one another (some or homebodies and prefer to spend most of their time at home - others wanna go out and travel all the time / some have OCD are obsessed with cleaning - others are the messy type and couldn't care less / some love peace and quiet - others keep fighting half the time they're together and so on and so forth...).

What's a reacher?

The reacher/settler concept in himym is based on societies physical attractiveness values. Which in a long term relationship becomes very low on the totem pole of things that matter. And attractiveness may change after one or both let themselves go...
