David Beckham decent.
...if you idea of a decent man is that he has to be as attractive physically as David Beckham, then not only is it no wonder you are meeting ***holes (because often time same attrats same, you know?), but those of us decent guys who aren't quite mutil millionaire model and world class athlete material are perfectly comfortable with you being celibate. In fact, what we'd like is for you to decide you want to be a lesbian, just to make sure no accidents happen.
And people ask me why 20 something females can't do anything for me but strip and lap dance... | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 3:39:14 PM | I asked my sweetie whether all the decent guys are either taken or gay, hoping of course to get some sort of tiny reinforcement along the lines of "Well, we're proof that at least one decent guy is taken" or some such saccharine.
Instead she answered "What a gay question." | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 3:43:48 PM | | Not all good men are gay or taken, they just don't quit make the looks book for most women. I am 42 and I almost got married in 2001 before she died in a car accident. I since then have dated a little, when I say a little I mean only a couple of women since. I cant understand the fact that I sit in a bar and talk to alot of women and after a few minutes the conversation always gets to relationships. The problem is they seem to like the bad guy's, The rich guy's, The car guy's. I understand that everybody knows what they like but your never going to get everything in a single package.The good guy's are most of the time quit,laid back and not the life of the party. | |

In my opinion, decent men INCLUDE men we'd like to sleep with. So I guess I'm talking beyond decent. David Beckham decent.
Coolchick,
Are you fooking for real? If so, enjoy a nice long and SINGLE life. The David Beckham's of the world have many many options when it comes to partners... Hope you like competing with other women with better looks and more money than you.
I'm not saying that to be mean... I'm just telling you the truth.
David Beckham merely "decent"?
Pffftt.... You're undateable with the frame of mind you're in. | |

Nowdays, people (or at least men) tend to view "starting a relationship" as if it were becoming engaged.
Changing one's status" seems the modern-day equivalent of marriage proposal (for GUYS, that is). I think you are pigeonholing a whole lotta men and that's not a fair assessment. But you'll learn, you'll learn.
When women paint men with a broad brush and not look at them as individuals in their own right, there's where some women begin to get jaded, bitter and any other adjective you wanna hang on it. Yes, we are somewhat different in our thinking and how we go about different things in life but there's where communication should be effective.
But I do expect him to acknowledge me as his OFFICIAL, EXCLUSIVE GIRLFRIEND until one of us decides it's just not working anymore. You have no idea how many guys have told me, when I finally bring the issue up: "Hey, y'know, I really like ya, baby! But I'm totally open to the idea of meeting somebody else an i just don' wanna rule it out, y'know?" If this is what happens to you, then you expect a lot from someone who, if they are looking elsewhere, just do not see you as relationship material for them.
And what better reason to stay home and in bed???????????????????????????? Yanno ~Rock Man~, oddly enough, I actually don't have a valid come back for that statement! Go figure. Me? Not having a response? Isn't THAT sumptin'? | |

I agree. To our own detriment I might add. We are also the ones who pay for our lack of self-assertiveness by ending up having to choose from among the left overs. We settle for the sake of settling, though our love is not real. Sooner or later our apathy causes us to again be set free. The wise among us should thereafter see love for the painful illusion it is, put it out of our minds and remain as happily single and free as a juvenile for the remainder of our lives. | |

They're all on the "why don't women want a nice man" threads. TONS OF THEM...ask some of the other women. Go do a search of nice guy and see how many you'll find.
And you're way too young to believe something like that. I'm 45 and I sure don't. | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 4:34:17 PM | i agree.. same with me. or i get emails from people who dont really read my profile!(and are really not my type and would know that if they just stoppedand read it!) | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 4:47:04 PM | Maybe the guys you think are decent just aren't interested. You may take affront to that if so, then well...okay. It could still be true.
I realize you're young but it seems a little harsh to make a personal judgement about someone's character just because you're not interested. That isn't a standard, IMO, that's a lack of basic humanity.
Bottom line is people tend to attract who or what they are. So if you think about what it is you're looking for or wanting if you ARE that your chances of attracting that will be much greater.
I've met plenty of decent guys here and befriended many. Doesn't mean I would want to date them or that we'd be compatible for a romantic relationship. Neither does it mean either of us are somehow terminally flawed. | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 4:57:48 PM | | I'm an a-hole. Only because it repels people that don't realise what LTRs, LDRs, and the like are. It also repels people that think they know, but actually don't grasp the whole responsibilites portion of the rlp. | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 5:03:29 PM | | Or you can go with the fact that you dated plenty of decent guys and turned them gay.................. or they found somebody that treated them with respect and got married. Either way you cut it, you just messed up with that question. | |
|
| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 5:08:38 PM | I would suggest....dont limit yourself to POF. It is a big, wide world out there, and a lot of decent, caring guys inhabit the real world. If you dont find them, they will find you, when you are ready. | |
|
| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 6:07:34 PM | I do not believe that they are. Then again it all depends on what you mean by decent. Perhaps some guys do not want to be an object for a night or two or dated just because they happen to be "gorgeous"; what ever that means. Maby they do not want to be on the receiving end of some failed past relationship. Sure there are pleanty of "good guys" left but they too must be careful. It realy does not matter if you are looking for a date or something long term, it is very simple--- people make it complicated by not being up front, Want long term and want to be sincere in your quest? Then say so and let the rest take care of itself. Keep things simple not simpler.  | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 6:17:28 PM | I was out with a group of work collegues last night, majority were in their early 20's both male and female..what I witnessed was really beyond belief, for the first time I understood the disapointment in those young females....the eldest of the girls would be no more then 24 and all of them were looking for someone in their mid 30's..when I asked why they don't look for someone similar to their own age group, their answer was "look around"...grown up men in their early to mid twenties acting like teenagers. These girls want depth, maturity, intelligence so they look for the much older male...which makes me wonder, what's left for my age group?.. | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 6:26:25 PM | | umm..does the tried but true expression "cake and eat it too" as it applies to men, ring any bells? It's been going on for centuries...I had a man I really liked tell me the sex had been "recreational" for him. That's it. He followed that with he was only being "honest" like that was supposed to make me feel better. It didn't. | |

| Decent guys: are they all either taken or gay? Posted: 6/12/2009 6:33:16 PM | It seems rather odd to me that so many women peroccupy themself with how much guys cheat or flirt when they look at it from just their own point of view. Is there a possibility that women are not paying attention to their surroundings? Yes there are plenty of "good Guys" and I am sure that many of them know that monogamy is not a type of wood found at Home Depot but there seems to be some confusion for women regarding that issue. Arrogance and stupidity will cause anyone to fail. | |
