Why do so many women say that a good guy is hard to find?

Is that really true? Are good guys really hard to find. I found a really great guy. He's a real gentleman, hard worker, and a great father to our child. He doesn't mind giving me money or anything that I want. And, he loves hanging out with me and the kid on week nights. He doesn't want to hang out with his friends at all. Maybe I've been out of the dating scene for too long. Are decent guys really that hard to find? Are they really all jerks? And, for the gals that say they can't find a good guy to settle down with, please share some of the places you can find a good man.

Well if i look at the guys around my place it is really hard to find a decent and non rude man. I mean not all guys are jerks,but not my type.In my neighbour guys are nice guys but that´s it i don´t feel the connection with them.Nowadays also alot women and men cheat so it´s hard to find someone who really doesn´t.

You are very lucky that you have met such a man. So far, the men I've met.. sigh.. I rather not talk about them. I also do not believe in finding my partner. If it's God's will that I should have a partner, we'll meet each other no matter what. I do not believe in going out there and try hunting for a man. I believe in letting nature takes its course.=D It's indeed true there are not many good men out there. There are usually attached (in a relationship or married) or homosexual.=P

Younger guys, guys my age can be hard to find. However, some women just don't go out looking for guys. They sit around, stay in and wait and expect this perfect guy just to drop right into their lap. I know someone that behaves that way. They complain about men and then go on to say that all men are pigs. However, this person doesn't attempt to meet people. Instead of trying to find a nice guy, they complain that they do not exist and have a bitter outlook on life. Some people have just narrowed their scope and feel more comfortable complaining and wallowing in self pity, than they do actually trying to change their life.

Well, some women end up with the wrong guys. I was also in a discussion about women trying to change men, that too raises some questions and sheds some light for this topic. Some women go into relationships to try and change the partner. If the partner doesn't change right, or outright refuses then thats another non-"good guy" the woman had to deal with. Other women set the bar and expectations too ridiculously high levels and guys can't meet it. [Sucks being told or implied "You aren't good enough" after doing so much...] Hence they are also not the good guys the women seek. Of course this is not all women, so please lets not go through that nonsense again -_-. But I have observed this personally, witnessed it too, and seen it in other cases and groups. And you aren't missing much on the dating scene Queenie. It just aint that great.

I think it should be left to fate. I do not think that we can do anything about it. But I sincereley feel that there are definitley many more good guys than people think.

I agree with you. After my 3rd divorce, I told myself I didn't need a man in my life to be happy, and started paying attention to me, and my studies, and job. And then it happened, I met a great guy online. And we both knew about 5 minutes into chatting that we would be together, it was as if we had lived parallel lives 1600 miles apart. I moved to his state, since him moving was not an option at the time, we have been together over 2 years now, and he is wonderful. So maybe if women would stop looking so hard for that good man, and like themselves first, then the right guy would come along.

Hello dear beauty queen. I agree with you and am happy for you that you have got a good guy in life. It is in fact not that hard to find a good guy as a life partner. I think that I am a good guy to my wife and she is happy with me as always. So I think that so long as ladies pay more attention to the guys around them, there is no problem to find a good one at all. Thanks for your discussion. I hope that every woman will find a good guy easily. Thanks for your discussion.

No it is not at all true.All guys are really good.It is the gals who makes the guys bad. In my opinion "Behind every unsuccessful man there is a woman".

Yes, I completely agree with this statement. It's a problem, because nowadays guys don't want to meet new girls just in the streets, they should be found in special ways, special communities, fields of work. And very often, unfortunally, they do not match.
