Where did the good men go?

Okay, so I would like to share some of my thoughts on men. I won't be getting into anything personal, but I will share my opinions as well.

Let's think about typical things women look for in a decent guy: Tall, dark and handsome can't hurt...a sense of humor, an ability to make you feel like you're the most special girl in the world, a man with a brain capable of carrying on legitimate conversations, maybe who has a car... People tell me that I have standards that are too high. But when I think about it, if what someone wants is all the things I just mentioned, anything less will feel like settling. And once you settle for whoever's there at the moment, you will feel like shit. Okay, so maybe the car thing isn't necessary, but it sure doesn't hurt.

I will admit finding a good man with all these great qualities is pretty much impossible. Where do you find these men? Let me think about some typical places women meet men...so, for example, you may think hitting a club with all your girls will be the prime time and place to meet men. Well, if you're looking for someone to take home at the moment, it's great, but the only kind of men you'll meet here is sluts. Think about it: you see a cute guy, you're drunk, he's drunk...you smile and start dancing, but the music is too loud so obviously you won't say a word to each other. You may get excited when you exchange numbers with this hot specimen. Then, most likely all you'll end up with is texts that are suggestive and disrespectful in every way. Bottom line: meet a man at a club, and he will not want a wifey. He just wants some booty.

Bars are much more optimistic, actually. The reason is that men don't just go to bars to take home some bitches. They go to socialize with friends, and so do you. Striking up a conversation is quite easy, especially with the drinks flowing. A downside is that you wouldn't want to get too hammered the first time you're meeting your potential Mr. Right. This is likely.

School or work have always been my least favourite places to meet guys. First of all, I am not into immature guys who are my own age. This is the problem with school. Hey, it depends what you're into. With work, I've found mixing business and pleasure can seem like killing two birds with one stone, but it will bite you in the ass. After things end, which they inevitably will at some point, you're stuck workin' with 'em.

You know, you can meet your perfect man anywhere. You can be going outside to get your mail and chat up the hot mail man. It could happen, right? So I'm starting to think there are no sure-fire places to meet guys. Unfortunately, when you're on the man hunt it really feels like there is no hope of finding a decent one. When you're least expecting or wanting to meet someone, they come find you. I think I need to take this advice myself at this point.

So, are there good men even out there? Will all of us great gals ever find one to call our own? You gotta leave it to fate. In the meantime, enjoy some time with your ladies!
