| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/11/2009 1:57:01 PM |
I have not read the whole 50 pages, but define "good". :)
I haven't read them all either, but I'd say that (without going to the dictionary ) the definitions will vary from woman to woman. There are plenty of good men in the world. They just may not all be the guy for you. Same thing for women. I've dated women that I honestly thought were great people. They just weren't right for me.
I may not be considered a good man by every woman in the world, but somewhere there's a woman who is livid that there aren't more men like ME.  | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/12/2009 8:15:35 PM | | I wouldn't say anything toxic is an asset but a deficit. I know that I am a much greater asset now at 45 than I was as 21. I'm happier, wiser, kinder, less self absorbed. I value time over money, although time doesn't feed us. I am more resourceful, more available to people in need and and those that can help me. I have more hope, more joy and more appreciation for life in general. I take time to look around because I have rushed along in my youth and now I SEE who and what is around me. No sir, definately more of an asset now. And, the second time around I don't want to settle, do that make me rude? spoiled? heartless? No, that makes me smart. I may be through with half my life why spend the last half with someone who isn't right for me? Good men are out there, there are plenty of men that are not a match for me but that doesn't mean they aren't good men. GOOD MEN you are out there, stop stressing about what bad HAS happened to you and move forward to what good COULD come to you. Get out and dance..... | |

I cannot speak to the guy question, since my point of view is tainted by being a guy myself. As to the women I have dated from POF, they have been great. I have been incredibly suprised at some of the sweet, intelligent, and sexy women that I have met through POF. Sure, not all are like this, and I'm very picky, but they are out there. | |

I still believe that there are some good men left! They are not standing on a street corner saying "I'm here" or waiting on you to pick you up. Many of them are right there in front of you. You've got to be able to define to yourself "What's a good man for YOU?" and not in the general sense of the job, house, car, etc., but how's your relationship with him, how do the two of you communicate, do you share similar interests (not all of them, but some to keep it interesting)?
All of this should not fall on the man because he is only PART of the unit, the couple, "us" or whatever you choose to call the relationship. Also, ladies, we do have to take a long hard look at ourselves. Are we READY for him when he comes along (he's probably been there BUT we didn't notice it).
This is not to say that some guys are faking, because you're going to experience that as well.
Signed....working on myself as I speak.: bye:  | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/13/2009 9:37:49 AM | Yep there are good guys left, but it is not a good idea to blame them for all of your Bad choices. Us good guys go for the good girls who don't blame everyone but themselves for their problems.  | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/13/2009 2:54:22 PM | I know there are some good men left. I have 5 brothers. The 2 youngest ones are single, the 3 oldest married for 15- 25 years.
Of the 2 single brothers - one is gay and the other is extremely SHY.
The gay one gets hit on all the time by WOMEN because he is extremely gregarious, and engaging, and not at all effeminite. These are international women, as his business takes him to all corners of the world. He makes great money, travels about 95% of the year with his work. So unless these women work in his industry, meet him at the hotel he is staying at for the week, or at the airport, they will never see him in Florida where he owns a house, and quite a few luxury cars.
The SHY guy, owns a very successful construction business, 2 homes in California, 1 in the SF bay area and 1 in San Diego at the beach, 3 big work trucks and a jeep. He is very handsome and inshape and makes great money he loves to spend on other people. But unless a woman works in his industry (very few do), goes to the little bar he frequents after work in his construction clothes and starts up a conversation, or outright bumps into him, she will never meet a great loyal, guy because he is so shy.
His past girlfiends are still his friends, because he is such a good man. I have tried to fix the shy brother up with numerous women in their 30's that are sweet, nice and educated, but since most are divorced with children, he is not interested, because he wants the woman in his life to make him a priority. Most divorced women will not do this as their children consume all their time.
He never goes out looking for a woman, but still has hope that he will find a woman someday. He wants to get marry and have children.
If you are looking for a good man, start looking right where you are at. Stop looking for a prince charming who is all slicked up, drives a luxury car, says exactly what you want to hear and start to look for a nice, decent gentleman, perhaps dressed in blue collar attire, with sincere eyes and a shy smile, who if you approached would gladly talk to you and perhaps take you out, if he finds something about you at all interesting.
So here's to the all the good and decent men out there!!!

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/15/2009 5:57:45 PM | | Yes there are plenty of good men left the problem is that the typical female definition of a good man has nothing do with integrity,character,kindness, intellect, true bravery or chivalry or even genuine generosity or upholding a high level of morality. The typical female definition of a so called "good man" is a shallow compilation of superficial criteria based mainly on LOOKS , materialism, fashion and if her friends think he is cute or not. It was like that when I was 18 and it is still like that now that I am 41. | |

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/16/2009 6:22:02 PM | | Many women seek a man with integrity, character, kindness, intellect, true bravery, chivalry and high morals. We who seek these men find that so many of these men seem to seek drama queens with none of the traits the men seem to possess, as long as the women are good looking, nothing else seems to matter. | |

Sorry fifi' I kinda agree and i kinda don't.
I've been here for 2 years. I've met a lot of women' Gone out with them and had some fun. One of the main reasons i haven't stayed with any of them is because they say one thing and mean another. They say there looking for this or that' They want this ' They want that. But when they find a man that has all the things they say they want' Character' Kindness' Intellect' Not a abuser of her or has bad vices' Drugs' Smoker' Drinker' loves dogs' cats and gets along with her family. Her mother likes him' Her kids like him' etc' etc' You know what they usually wind up doing? Kicking him to the curb because he is "to good" So what she does' Even though she has a lot of the traits he does and they get along great' She has to go find a man that is a abuser of some sort. Whether it's a abuser of her' Drugs Booze or whatever. Then she falls madly in love. To her as sorry as he is he is the best thing since sliced bread. And no matter how mean he is to her she will run right to him like a little whipped puppy dog asking for more punishment.
Women say they want this and they want that then they will be happy. But till this day i have never met one women that knows what she wants and knows it when she sees it. I believe that over half of the Women that are on this site right now for the most part have no idea what they want. Some are already in there late forties' been married' Some multiple times. And still don't know what they want. All it took for me was one bad marriage to teach me what i want. It's hard for me to wrap my head around a person' Be it man or woman. Being in a bad marriage' 2' 3 times' And still not know what they want.
It's a huge turn off to me to meet a woman my age that has no idea what she wants. But that is as common as dirt.
As a man' I guess we all like a nice looking woman. But there is one thing for sure that the nice looking women share in common with every other woman. Be her a walking doll' average or whatever. I've been out with what i thought was a nice looking woman. And i have been out with what i thought was average. Neither one has any idea what they want. There totally lost. And it didn't take me long to lose interest and move on. There are plenty of good men out there. Just not enough women that really know what they want. But plenty women who think they do.

| Do you believe that there are some Good Men left ? Posted: 5/18/2009 11:17:30 AM | | I've been on this site on and off for over a year and really find very little here... or offline for that matter. There's all these guys out there that just want sex text (wtf?). What's wrong with just meeting up and having a coffee, chatting to people, not being total nutters? I think I've given up finding anyone. I know what I want and it's really simple, but clearly that's just too much to actually get. Hmmm, just as well I have my cats to keep me company :-) | |

Lots of decent men and women out there. We just have to stop basing judgement on looks, style and status | |

Posted: 5/18/2009 12:03:07 PM | | To be honest, I don't think we should be limiting that question to just "men" it's more a matter of how many good "people" are left out there. I personally am not meeting a lot and I think this recession has had a pretty bad effect on things because everyone is all concerned about money, money, money. | |
