Dear Ladies, good men abound- A must read

I was with the CEO of AMAA at a party some weeks ago. A young lady walked up to me and after pleasantries and a few drinks she said something about good guys being scarce and the good men are not yet born.
Stupefied I was until I regained composure and hit her with my response;

The response is for all single ladies, married women, everyone who thinks good men are myth.
Walk with me, my answer to her was;

Good men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets,in the malls and the halls at work. Most of us can't see 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 own a BMW.

He might not have a "body like Vin Diesel with a Brad Pitt face or a Will Smith height...
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 wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite.
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, especially if you are 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 do not 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 (The Bold & The Beautiful). No one lives that fairy tale for real. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that good men are myths.

Keep it real & moderate, sisters.
