I hope this won't seem like an inappropriate response, but first she probably should go inside herself and figure out who SHE is, and what "a good man" really MEANS, and define what "a relationship" means to her. I say this because I know a lot of women in unhappy relationships... and when you poke and prod a bit, they are there not because they found "bad men," but because they "wanted to be married" without a long hard look at what that "meant" to them. Putting the soapbox away, for a moment... I guess it depends on what it is you want "a good man" to be. Pop culture and Hollyweird aside, there's a fairly broad base of psychological reserach to suggest that the strongest relationships are between men and women who are "mostly alike." With that in mind, the best strategy might be to fully engage yourself in doing things YOU really enjoy, and see what men are there. OK, so you have to be a bit creative. For example, you might be saying "I really like reading. How's that going to make me meet men?" Just sitting at home with a book certainly won't work... but perhaps you can join a book club/reading circle. That's just an example... I don't know what your interests are, but you might find some parallels. I think "good people" are everywhere, men and women alike, asking the same question as you. It's just that finding them is "work." Whereas it's a nice romantic idea, waiting for "a miracle to happen" can be a very long wait.

My husband has three single friends all very nice guys. They can not seem to meet women either. Try taking a night class at your local community college. When I took at a class there were a lot of adult men there in the evening, trying to make carreer changes, or advance their current carreers. Most of them were single or divorced.

I don't think all the good men are taken. I found one, they are just extremely hard to find. Not too many men are gentlemen anymore or know how to honestly truly treat a woman anymore. I saw someone said you should look inside yourself and I agree. Look inside and decide what you want in a man and a relationship which could be different things. I read your other discussion about your ex. and honestly I think you may want to take things slow and heal a little after what he did to you.

LOL If i knew the answer to that I wouldnt still be single myself! I guess the general idea is, go places where they have similar interests to you and dont look for the love of your life. They'll pop up when you least expect them to.
