Good men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets and the halls at work. Mostly women can't see this because we don't know what a good man really looks like.
He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our heads. He might not wear a suit or roll in a BIMA or 'CIDO'. He might not have a "body like Tyrese with a Denzel face". But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head.
A good man doesn't agree whole heartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yadi yadi yada.
He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, regardless that women aren't willing to do the same.
A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you don't live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!!"
A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards(...Bold and the Beautiful,LaMujer,Ana,Young and the Restless (wonder why they are restless)...etc). No one,atleast the many couples that i know,lives that fairy tale for real.
You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that men are no good. It's just not true.

Girls are like phones, they like to be held and talked too, but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!.............sorry ladies!....just had to.
You're like a shining star in the cold dark nite, you lead me, you guide me, you makes everything seems so rite...

now am i the first again? this reminds me my first poetry book introduction to literature..there was this character whose one name was Mugabo mugenge someone..he just did not impress..the poet said that perhaps it was his unkempt shirt, or hair, or his shoes...i ignored him..until he mentioned he was a university professor....then the don would signify money and class...that's when one pays attention...that's when the handshake becomes firm...familiar? people will always write you off cos they know nothing about who you are.......
two things to do
1. stop complaining about it
2. its your fault...Use your tongue to speak things you want to see....like let there be light and there will be light...the creative power God gave to you
