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?
