Has anyone settled for someone they aren't attracted to?

Someone they don't fancy?
I can't imagine dating someone I'm not attracted to, it sounds like a sad existence? These things can grow over time I suppose, but how can you be intimate in any way with someone you just don't fancy? Not even necessarily physically, but emotionally too?

Someone at work recently seemed interested which I was surprised about, as men very rarely show an interest. We didn't have a lot to talk about, conversation just felt like small talk.
He sent me a couple of pictures of himself, for some reason.
I didn't feel like I fancied him at all, also noticed that he was very pally with blonde haired women under 25, despite being 40.

He never outright asked me out/said he was interested. I just politely responded but didn't initiate any further and then he stopped texting/stopped coming over to talk to me. He seems to ignore me now.

My friend said I should've given him a chance? But I thought, why? I just felt like he was forcing it a little. The chat was just stuff like "What time you working till?' and basic stuff.
I didn't feel drawn towards him in any way, and I felt like he didn't even know anything about me, just wanted a shag.
Surely if that were the case, anyone would date anyone?
Did anyone end up 'settling', whether you regretted it or not?
