I also have never met a good man who is right for me. Good yes I met one, but right for me, I've met none, or maybe I missed the right one.



no there was a reason why you thought you may have miss him which their have been a couple I thought of ... and sometimes i do put to much thought in making a decision now when it comes to men ... but i believe i made the right choice for the both of us ... good luck to you ...

Nice topic. After seeing all the hating on either sex its nice to read one putting forward all the good things men can and should be.

Because men don't treat women right. And I'm finding out that mothers also don't treat their kids right. Some men do, some mothers do. But lot's of people don't get the meaning of life or the meaning of being a good man to a woman, or being a good mother to a child for that matter. It is entrenched in our psychology to abuse women and to abuse children, just like slavery used to be entrenched in our mentality, as slaves were not like other humans. Until society changes individuals will say I'm wrong, but they will never think for themselves.

Think about it, how many of you agree with slavery now that society says it's wrong? Back then if I had said this is so wrong to have slaves and treat these humans as less than, people would have laughed at me then too.

My issue with men is just like my issue with slavery, I have something against the slave master mentality prevalent in men as if women were their slaves.

Although slavery has been abolished, and women can now vote, the racism and the sexism still go on. Child abuse is wrong, but spanking is still allowed. I'm just not satisfied with the level of justice in the world and I don't want to settle for a man who doesn't know better.

I know amazing men. My son is my favorite right now. My dad died while active duty. I have amazing, good grandfathers, uncles cousins, nephews.

Accept for the last ex boyfriend, I have amazing ex boyfriends and ex husband. Just because it didn't work out between us, doesn't mean I don't appreciate them. They are still friends to this day and would be there for me if I ever needed them

I have many amazing guy friends that treat me with respect. Most of my friends are guys. I have few female friends

I think the vast majority of men on here appreciate your post.
While it's true some men are not angels, I think most are good, honest, caring people, the same for women.

I do still think women are the stronger sex, child birth alone gets my vote, but their calmness in stressful situations swings it for me too.
Thank you

You are welcome Joe. I think both are strong AND weak in different aspects which (IMO) balance each out.

I appreciate women too. I come from a long line of good, strong women.

Oh and don't forget our time of the month laugh

I'm not bashing men, I'm against it when they abuse women.
I said earlier that I know a good man who supports me against this abuse, but it is only one of many who abuse me..
That is the sad fact of many women.

Why don't you hook up with that man drinker

He isn't right for me, we were talking about that earlier. The attraction needs to be there. If he had it going on that way I would, because he has everything else, educated, ability to reason, ability to have meaningful conversations and is true friend and a gentleman. He just doesn't have the looks or the charisma that make me attracted to a man. This is not easy to find along with all those other qualities. I wouldn't just hook up I would marry the guy if he had all that and loved me.

something to appreciate about men. when I was little and living in Mexico I couldn't make it all the way uphill to my grandmother's house. my Godfather would carry me on his shoulders the rest of the way.

Cheers to all the men drinker

My Dad was a very strong man he raised my brother and I along with the help of my grandmother after my mom passed away. Not easy for a man to raise a 18 month old and a 5 year old back then.

I appreciate everything my dad did for us.. In the process my brother is just like my dad.... He is one of the best men I know... Without him I don't know what I would do... He has always been there for me...

It is times like this I have come to really appreciate the men within my life. :thumbsup:
