Are there any good guys left in this town and questions like itPage 2 of 2    (1, 2)

I go to dating sites specifically because I am shy, its hard to approach a strange, unknown woman, and talk to her.


Zeroth, I have to agree with you. I'm the same way, to be honest...

And the rest of your post, there, has good points as well.

Those are weird statements IMHO. To me, it says the person has very low opinions of men in her area and I guess if it was a teeny little town where everyone knew everyone and maybe the majority really were idiots it would make sense. But the odds for that scene strike me as pretty slim. Then there's the problem of trying to figure out how one person defines 'decent' over another. I just think the statements are flags about the posters profile more than the non-decent men she's referring to. Whoever they may be

It's about as productivce as mens profiles that say'"don't be no game player, head game having ding-dang woman cause i don't have time for head games and head games are bad and etc etc etc". It reflects worse on the person writing that than the shadowy, undefined people they're referring to.

rom time to time, I will see questions like "Are there any good guys left in this town" and "Where are all the decent guys hiding" written in profiles.


Well, OP, both of those statements roughly translates into: "I'm a horrible judge of character and I have low self-esteem; but instead of looking at what is wrong with MYSELF, I'd much rather blame it on others who all seem to be treating me like shit."

I've said the same things many times to friends in my life who ask me the same questions of WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD GUYS GONE? or more commonly, WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME?!

The way people interact are usually based on reactions rather than actions. If a person treats you a certain way, they are reacting to a message that you sent. If you sent the wrong message, like say you let your friends walk all over you, then your new romantic interest may walk all over you as well.

And as always, if you want to meet a great person, guy or girl, you've gotta spruce yourself up as well. You can't expect a great guy to want to meet some girl with self esteem issues, or is a horrible person. No matter how great a guy he is, I'm sure he doesn't need a project (rescuing YOU from YOUR OWN demons) upon MEETING YOU!

Oh. Also. If you have been victim to of some bad relationships in the past that caused you to say, "WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD ONES?" Please keep in mind that a relationship fails because of TWO PEOPLE, not one. Even if your boyfriend was a chronic cheater who cheated on you and everything is entirely "his fault," it is still partially your fault for attracting a chronic cheater and not knowing somebody better before you fully commit yourself.

Questions like those make me want to rip something to shreds. It's funny how most women ask this, while most men ask, "why do all the nice guys finish last?"

So, girls. If you are really looking for "good ones" or "nice guys" and they are apparently all "gone," then why are there so many of them sitting on the sidelines wondering why they "finished last"?

People make me LAWL.
