    Of course they exist. I just don't have one.

    And everyone's idea of a "good man" will vary.

    True.

    Ladies that think a good man drinks beer and plays video games...hmu!

    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:

    Maybe they all have low credit scores. *shrug* :ohwell:

    I have to say I am a bit disappointed. I initially read this as "Good men need a round of applesauce".

    LOL Man! I love uptight people who just live for those moments where they get to slap the shine off of somebody. I no longer feel alone in the world.

    The majority of men are decent people who occasionally mess things up by doing something idiotic because they're only human.

    The majority of women are the same.

    hmm....I didn't know there were so few of us that we deserved recognition....I mean, I know I'm awesome and all but please keep your hands to yourself....lol. In all reality though, I personally don't need attention to keep being the person I am. Respect and equality is the humane thing to do, plus my mama would kick my *kitten*

    i'll congratulate my Mr. for going above and beyond the call of human duty: opens doors, pulls out chairs, helps with coat, calls me "Beautiful" or "Gorgeous" or "Hottie" (x8 at least for every x1 he uses my name), always respectful of my feelings, always communicating, always says "I love you", frequently makes he known he's thinking of me, etc. ad nauseam. and not in an annoying, milquetoast nancy-boy way either. in a highest-integrity-and-deepest-love kind of way. :heart:

    :indifferent:

    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?

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

    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:

    So saying men are awesome does not put them on a pedestal? Good to know! Hmmm, I wonder what would put them on a pedestal, then.

    I would say that women are also awesome but really we're not. We're just people and we do the best we can.

    I do not think good men are in the minority, actually I love most men. The reason for the post was on the forums all I ever see is negativity and bashing of men like the women are not at fault sometimes too. I made a post in another category because I was happy with how supportive my husband has been,( and yes he always is, just a comment he made made me feel great) I asked the question about SO's supporting you in the thread and there was great stories. I just think too many times the man is blamed for everything and wanted a positive post instead of a "men why do you?" or " He did..." post.

    A ladder, I suspect.

    These days, you really do need to congratulate people for not being asshats because most people are.

    Most forum posts about relationship issues are going to come off very one-sided because you're only getting one side of the story. I have seen many posts on another site from men and women were it seems like the other partner is totally at fault. It's not so much man-bashing or woman-bashing as an unwillingness to admit fault.

    We congratulate people for having a birthday. All they did was not die for a year.
    I usually follow it up with telling them their mom really should get the glory, because she did all the work that day!
    We're ecstatic when a woman gives birth, when honestly she could have not have done one single thing but spread her legs to make that happen.
    Got a mouse in your pocket? :laugh:
    I don't think there's anything wrong with congratulating men, women, or anyone else for doing the right thing.
    Me neither!

    I agree 100%. This post was made as a light hearted gesture, i really did not anticipate negativity on it. I guess this is MFP so I should have. In my life I always tell my husband I appreciate him and I tell my kids when they are doing well. I don't just ignore when my husband goes over and beyond and just think well it's what he should do, he should but taking people for granted is worse that showing someone you notice the positive things. Otherwise all my kids would hear is how awful they are since the good things should not be acknowledged and my husband would just think he's a prick since the only feed back from me would be when he is being an *kitten*. I know there are 3 sides to a story yours, theirs and the truth but I was more thinking about all the man bashing that goes on on these forums.

    Plus I post it in chit chat fun and games, I wasn't going for negativity or a serious topic.
