Posted another thread, and it was so great to see all the women with awesome SO's, I just had to post this. On the forum much too often all we hear is about the "bad" guys. People need to know and appreciate that there are many good men out there!

    It is not about that, many times all we hear is the woman's side and many posts are just filled with how awful men are. The negativity is just insane sometimes and if a woman is that jaded I do not blame a man that would have to deal with a woman always expecting the worse from him. It reminds me of when my husband and I go out, he has manners and always gets me what I need and offers to get anyone else at the table what they need. Many times women look at me and ask (seriously ask) "How I get him to behave that way?" I always answer the same "He came that way". I would not be with him if he wasn't. Not being mean but many times women deal with "bad" men because they pick "bad" men.

    Also it is not applause for being a "decent human" it is applause because many times on these forums people seem to take too much pleasure in bashing men. I have 2 daughters they know a man must treat them right or he isn't worth their time, but they also understand that a woman must treat the man right. I personally think many (not all) women that have consistently chosen "bad" guys set up the next guy for failure. They are always expecting him to be an *kitten* so when he is one day because the truth is one day you will be a witch spelled with a b, these women just assume they were right to expect the worse and never realize people have off days and relationships take work from "both" parties.

    Yes indeed.

    Rather than congratulate men (or women, if that may be the case) for being normal human beings, why don't we refrain from painting a whole gender as lousy?

    My husband cooks most of the time, drives me to work (we commute an hour each way), works on cars, is fairly decent with plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc. Also never been to jail, holds down a good, full-time job, and currently holds a valid driver's license (like these things need mentioning; old joke). He's a saint to put up with me sometimes (and me, him too).

    So not perfect but absolutely a good man!

    Some of you posters are proving my point... they're TAKEN!!! but alas... I KNOW one day I will find the perfect man for me. He won't be perfect as I'm not perfect but we will be perfect for each other. :flowerforyou:

    You just need a good screening process :flowerforyou:

    At least you know they are out there, many seem to think all men are awful and women with good husbands must be lying. Being that jaded would take way too much energy.

    Understanding context and intent might be a good skill for you guys to develop. :wink:

    Aw, please don't be discouraged! I know exactly how you feel. I'm a bit on the "older side" of singleness (let me put it this way, I was told by my grandmother at age 28 that I was an old maid...and that was 15 years ago! lol), and was just about ready to give up completely because it seemed that all the good ones were "taken". I then met a wonderful man whom I love very much and he's GREAT. I still can't believe it sometimes. They are out there! Chin up, don't give up hope. :flowerforyou:

    I suppose I did get the context wrong. We are not, in fact, putting men on a pedestal for simply not being jerks, are we?

    Correct. :smile: She's simply saying men are awesome, we love them, and we want to applaud them! And I like all the stories some gals are posting about the reasons why they love their men. I'll add mine and say my man is thoughtful, sweet, strong, sexy, and handsome. Apologies for making you all barf. :laugh:

    Yes, we are out here. Unfortunately, few and far between.

    Humble, yet confident. Kudos to you ladies that recognized a good man and chose him. I see too many women who get heartbroken, only to go back the SAME type of guy.

    Some good guys are still around. We just tend to hide because women are scary and amazing creatures.
