I think I only saw one person directly alluding to that kinda discourse.
But that is because, to me, saying you would be hurt if your partner said they settled for you isn't the same as saying that your partner just had a bunch of sex and now uses you for money or whatever or that you think a person "settling" for someone is doing it for those reasons. Settling can just be that a person doesn't find you attractive in some aspect that is important to them, but your other qualities make up for it.
