Re: Are all the Good Men really taken?

Good men are out there. Most women just filter them out without seriously considering them.

All...Do you believe that there is still an abundance of healthy, intelligent, ambitious, devoted and worthy men still out there ready to settle down, get married and make a deserving woman happy?
In all of my relationships (prior to the one I am in now) - I was too young, or I was making bad choices, and trying to make the bad choices fit.

I had actually decided that I was happy to be single - I had a good job, I had my own place, I had money to travel - life was good. I knew I wanted children, that was the only problem for me. But, I wasn't going to date bad choices anymore - it was going to have to be someone that fit in my life. That's when I met my husband!

I think there are still good men out there - but it is hard to know where to find them.

Yeah. I've been hearing this "good men are all gone" argument since high school days. Girls would be pouring their hearts out to me about how badly their boyfriends treated them, and how all they want is a good man, and they don't know where to find one ... and I'm sitting there thinking ... DUHHHHHH!!!!!!!

LOL!!! I know that's right!!!!! I have even dated guys who my snobby girlfriends feel that was not good enough for me cuz of their lack of material possesions. I am not about that Bounty I want real; I want substance. That is why they are single and miserable now...then they wanna tell me how to act in my relationship. They my girls and I love them I just dont tell them any thing anymore.

Why is that?

All we hear about is how women want love and commitment and loyalty and a lifelong happy relationship, yet so many of them skip past the guys who would give them all that, and go for the guys who end up making them miserable. What sense does that make? Oh ... then they turn around and say that all the good men are either gay, taken, or in prison (if they were good, why would they be in prison?).

LOl I was thinking that about the prison thing earlier...and honestly the gay thing too...cause if he is gay thats no good for me....

Its cause they all have the priorities in the wrong order......
Some are convinced they can change those guys..or settle them.....
All the good guys are not taken, but all the good guys who look like Denzel are......lol

I dont see how that could be view as a screw up your part.

I think their definition of "Good" in that respect, is someone who (they think) will love, cherish and take care of them....but MOST importantly...Will not cheat on them.

This is true! BUT in all honesty..a man had to be more den just "good" to make you happy! He has to be what you want and he has to be someone you are attracted to. I know "GOOD" men, have met quite a few! So when you find one that is "good" u suppsed to jump for joy even if you are not attracted to him? Even if his lifestyle is not in sync with yours?--come on!
