Where Have All The Good Men Gone?

Ladies, has the surplus of available worthy men depleted?

Where have all the good men gone? Is it me or has the level of standards dropped drastically when it comes to eligible suitors? Obviously the days of prince charming riding in on his mighty steed to save the day and rescue the fair maiden are gone with the wind, never to return. Nevertheless, it would be wonderful to see even a fraction of the chivalry, loyalty, and affection of days gone by.

Women will move mountains to stay fit, dress to kill, and look perfectly fabulous at all times. We spend a fair amount of time and attention on finding the right perfume, shoes, hair style, nail polish, and handbags. Then we painstakingly groom ourselves ‘til there’s not a hair left on us aside from atop our lovely head, (which takes forever too!)

Most men, however, are just not as fashion conscious. In fact, they could usually care less. Still, being fashionably dressed is the least of the concerns on the decline. Appearance is important of course, but pales in comparison to attitude and behavior. For example, how many times have you waited idly by while your beloved plays call of duty for hours? Then there are the guys that are playing two girls at the same time and they refer to them as “main” and “side” bitches, with the girls having full knowledge of this. Really??? Ladies, has the surplus of available worthy men depleted to the point that we will allow such ludicrousness? The attitude towards women seems to have dwindled down to a mentality of “yup that’s how it is, deal with it”…… ughhhh, no thanks. That will be the day that I knowingly admit that I’m one of two girls with the same man and worse, feeling good about it because I’m the “main bitch." I mean really, that one guy, charming as he is, is that irreplaceable?

Yes, there are men in the world that take pride in their appearance and put effort into looking good, which is greatly appreciated. However, a lot of them tend to have the “I’m sexy and I know it” syndrome, which is almost worse. Then of course there are the ones that think wearing their pants halfway down their thighs and walking like ducks makes them irresistible. Honey, please, do us all a favor and pull that mess up! Oy vey, what ever happened to classic sophistication??

So, will my knight in shining armor be blazing through battle to defend my honor?......Probably not. Still, is it that much to ask for to have a guy with a little charm and respect? One that can look at me and tell me I’m beautiful because they just can’t help it. One that makes me feel that they want to be by my side, and that I’m someone special. Above all, one that would say that his heart belongs to me and I should never even have to consider him betraying the trust between us. Is that too much too ask?

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
