There Are Plenty Of Good Men

There are good men out there

Yesterday I wrote about there being no Princes out there and today, the start of Father's day weekend, I thought I should write about good men. See I know there are good men out there even if it seems like all I do is kiss frogs. 

With all of my dating horror stories, well okay they are not all bad, just almost all of them! 

I always try to look at the bright side, which for me is that at least I get good stories to blog about. But honestly, I do truly know there are good men out there.

I was blessed enough to have 3 wonderful men in my life growing up, my dad, my step dad and an incredible family friend named Sam, aka my big daddy. These 3 men were the best men I've ever met, they are what real men should be. The men today need to have taken lessons from these 3 men. They were kind, considerate, loving and patient.

So it's not like I don't know what a good man looks like. I have also picked quite a few really good men in my life, it just didn't work out for one reason or another but they are still in my life because they are such incredible men.

I also have some great male friends, single dads, hard working, willing to help when you're in a bind, kind and caring men who I am proud to call my friends.

But I have also picked some winners, the ones that left you shaking your head asking yourself "What was I thinking?" Wtf??

Even so, I can not lump all men together and say all men are bad. That would be like saying all women are bitches and I know for a fact that is not true. I am lucky enough to have the most incredible group of women friends.They are kind and sweet, caring and loving, and any man would be blessed to have them. 

So no, I will not lump them all together even if sometimes it seems like they are all block heads looking for only one thing, with no manners or filters on their tongues. I sometimes think, are there any gentlemen out there or what do guys get out of sending dick pics?? Yes, in today's day and age these are the questions we ask ourselves and talk about with our friends going through the same situations.

I do know that a good man is hard to find and I know it took me a long time to find my "Prince" even though next time I will be more specific in what I am looking for. I know that and my friends tell me that one day when I am not looking, I will find that good man and when I do, it will blow my mind. Until then I will keep kissing the frogs in hopes of finding that Prince.

So today my friends, remember there are good people out there, don't let the bad ones spoil your search and say all of them are no good. If you have good men in your life, let them know this weekend, tell them to keep up the good work, that they are giving the rest of us hope. And last but not least, remember to keep an open mind, stay positive, keep throwing out the bad ones and keep looking for that diamond in the rough. They are out there...you know how I know? Because I am a good one, you are a good one...we are out there so that means they are out there as well and I know that there are good men out there looking for us as well.
