I see posts from women asking "Where are all the good guys?" and I have to wonder, where are all the good girls? By definition, a 'good girl' is someone:

>> Who doesn't require you to make six-figure income in order to "qualify" to date them.
>> Who doesn't require a 'good guy' to look like a hollywood movie star. Certainly everyone has standards on how their potential date should look, but there's a line.
>> That at the end of the day can appreciate that there are lots of men out there that aren't cheaters, looking just for sex or are going to sit around drinking beer all night looking to be waited on constantly.

Me, I'm just an average guy. I don't look like brad pitt, nor am I his age. I make decent money, I own my own home, but don't feel that my dating criteria should be based on that. I'm not desperate, and I'm not needy. I enjoy taking someone out on a simple date to somewhere that we can both enjoy, and yes, if she likes something I don't I'll even bite the bullet and try it, and might even find that I like it after all.

I think in this age of online friend-finding and dating, a lot has been lost in the translation. These days if someone can't come up with the perfect paragraph to describe themselves that suits the vast majority of the opposite sex they are immediately destined for the Internet dumpster, never to find a date again.

I think that people need to start looking past the first paragraph and the first digital photo and take a chance to really get to know someone before opening the dumpster lid.

To coin a phrase "there are plenty of other fish in the barrel". The biggest problem these days is everyone just looks into the water at what's on the surface and never dares to put their hands in and fish around.

A good woman, by my definition, will not settle for less THAN SHE DESERVES, meaning she will look for someone compatable (not be trailer trash looking for a millionaire). She will respect you, your friends, family, and lifestyle. She will be committed to you as much as you are committed to her. She wont be willing to accept BS but wont dish it out either. She will be honest and tactful. I think it's important that a woman keep herself up, but I also think a man should. Just my two cents.
