| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 2:23:04 PM | "No more Mr. Nice Guy"... Anybody like to play out in the garden and pull weeds??? That would be doing good. Action speaks louder than words...
We all know the codes and games that are played and created by men for each other to manipulate us and they are to "never break the code" amongst themselves to us. "Us women need to value ourselves more and see it for what it is." Women don't stick together like men do."
"Good Men" is just another one of those gimmicks to use when they try to reel ya in.... To much effort when it is so easy to just go out and p/u someone. | |

Do many of you see women writing "looking for a kind-hearted/good man" as a headline? Oh good God, yes. Actually done OVER and OVER again -- "Looking for a good hearted man". They all take it from each other! lol
I think people are generally good. Honestly. Poeple tend to get pissed and call them jerks or b!tches when they're less interested in us... and ya don't count the ones you're not interested in.
(Same goes with switching guy and girl; replace jerk with other word) Example #1: Guy approaches girl Guy and girl talk, meet Guy isn't THAT into girl Guy blows her off. Guy is jerk.
Example #2: Guy approaches girl, they talk, meet Guy and girl discover their "pace" is different Girl wants to take it slow. Guy wants to take it medium to fast. Guy is jerk.
That's pretty much how the system works. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 4:30:14 PM | | I disagree. Many times women think that men are jerks because they do not know how to communicate or they lie and then they disappear without telling us they are not interested. I do not buy their stories about how women get all psycho when they say they are no longer interested. I seem to know plenty of women who handle break ups with dignity, composure, and class. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 4:47:14 PM | I'm guessing you meant to say:
"By good men- I think most women mean honest, right, and not too smart!"
Honest is a must but finances has nothing to do with a man being a good man. | |
|
| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 7:37:16 PM | My good men-I think most women mean honest, rich, and not too smart!
Nope, the smarter the better! :) Being rich in no way equates to being good, but as the previous poster said honesty and goodness pretty much correlate. So I guess you're one for three!  | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 7:52:30 PM | wildheart: relating to this subject, here are a couple of typical female headlines.
"Are there any good men left?"
"Just looking for one good one!"
Personally, I would automatically overlook the first one, but might look closer at the second one.
The first one assumes that all or most men AREN'T good ones and is kinda man hater-ish.
If all these women are attracting, or are attracted to bad men? Those WOMEN need to figure out the qualities in the bad men that she finds attractive. Also, she needs to realize that the man she wants is ALREADY the way she wants him, for the most part. We may need just a bit of domestication. But you can't make a bad boy into a good boy if he don't wanna be one! | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/8/2009 9:16:23 PM | Why does it matter? Women will choose whoever they want to choose -- good guy or not. We're all just chirping birds in the forest. If no female approaches, too bad for us. If your song ain't what she likes, it doesn't matter how good you are. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 11:28:02 AM | | Well, the feminists will say "No". All men are b*stards, drunks or druggies, abusers, bums, liars, cheaters and users. You see it here in the forums. There is a lot of male bashing going on. Probably due out of frustration because they can not find a man. So in their eyes we are all evil. | |
|
| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 1:14:13 PM |
YES.....They are around you just need to be open to them.
I could not have phrased it better. Same with all those proverbial "good women" out there. The key thing, though: First, we may have to get over some of those tendencies to pine romantically over the ones we can't have. But if we can do so, the available ones just might be all over the place!
Good luck to all. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 1:17:14 PM | Well Irish-gent...there is a lot of female bashing in these forums as well. I guess what you see depends on whether or not you're a male or a female. I assume all the female bashers do so because they can't find a woman..but I wouldn't know...and neither would you. | |

Many times women think that men are jerks because they do not know how to communicate or they lie and then they disappear without telling us they are not interested. If they don't know how to communicate, it doesn't make them a jerk. It mean's either (a) they lost interest and like many people, don't know how to communicate because they don't want to say much, or (b) they're just stupid, and not a jerk per se.
I agree that there are REAL jerks -- don't get me wrong... but many times it's just normal people (guys and girls) who lost interest and folks don't like that, bottom line. It's not a "guy thing" to brush someone off -- women do it too... and I don't think that makes someone a jerk or not "good people". Sure, some don't handle it well, but that's besides the point. The question is "Good Men Left", not "Men Who Know How to Turn Me Down Properly", right? lol With that said, I think people are jerks if they string someone along, and that happens with both men and women.
I'm with ya with people's stories... I don't buy all guys' stories either that women get all psycho, and the same with guys getting all psycho. There are those stories in truth, but most are exaggerated due to one's frustration of it not unfolding well. Few people handle such situations well. An analogy would be equating the "annoying girl who calls me too much" with "stalker". That's not right either! | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 2:52:57 PM | | I was thinking about a man I casually dated last year. To me he was a poor communicator, as he told me about a date he had when he supposedly was interested in me, and later was telling me about a waitress who had propositioned him when he was eating dinner in a restaurant. Telling me about both of those situations was in poor taste and disrespectful to me (of course that is my opinion), and to me he became somewhat of a jerk. When a man does not tell a woman he is not interested and disappears or lies and acts as if he is interested does make him somewhat of a jerk to me and probably a lot of women. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 3:33:51 PM | | I think there are definately good men all around. Unfortunately I'm not attracted to any of these men :( I seem to only be attracted to the ones that are not attarcted to me...life sucks | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/9/2009 8:32:56 PM | | I can only speak for myself. I know my worth and it is not silver or gold. I am a good man with a great sense of humor that can laugh at myself too. I have had problem relationships and good ones that just didn't work out. if anyone is truely honest about it you can usually find that you can't say nothin good come from any of it, because all of it is what has brought me to this point in my life. that don't mean I am thankful for abusive relationships"who is?" the point is if you never give someone a chance then you really don't know whether a person is good or bad. I do not judge anyone by what has happened to me in the past,because if I did I would have the idea that everyone cheats and lies,or plays games which I detest. Instead I try to find the good in everyone and take each at face value, because we are bought with a price more precious than silver or gold. there are all good men,and good women out there, all I am looking for is one,and that I hope is the last one. | |

"Are there any good men left?"
"Just looking for one good one!"
Personally, I would automatically overlook the first one, but might look closer at the second one.
I agree, but most men write "looking for a good women" and yes they spell it women! Or they say "looking for a kind harted women". I have to say, it is a huge repellant when I see that. I wouldn't even equate your second one with the first one. | |
|
| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/10/2009 2:36:37 PM | Yes, we are still out there. We tend to hang out in places that do not attract the a-hole guys. You probably won't find a good guy at a bar or pub. I fit the good guy catagory almost perfectly.
Then again alot of girls like bad guys for whatever reason (their crazy). LOL. | |

Sorry, but I disagree. Lots of nice guys go to the bars just to go somewhere. I happen to know some of them.
Many women I know met their husbands in bars and have been together since that first one night stand.
There is no formula and everybody is not the same. Because you are so adamant that you are a good guy, people stop believing you. I don't go around stating I'm a kind hearted woman all the time. Please. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 3/10/2009 7:54:16 PM | I am absolutely 100% positive that there are a lot of good men left! I just think the women who complain that there aren't any, are ignoring the "good" ones, and then saying they don't exist.
And vice versa with men who whine that there are no good women. There are plenty of good women, they just don't get that much attention from men. | |

What do you expect when we put "C" students in front of classrooms and call them teachers? We put a "C" in the White House and look what happened!
I was lucky.
Though I went to public school, I was educated like I went to catholic school... minus the nuns! | |
