Where have all the good men gone...?


"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or who will stay awake just to watch you sleep...Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without make-up on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares, and how lucky he is to have you... The one who turns to his friends and says 'That's her.'"


How pretty is this? How beautiful and true... it's not always easy, though.  Sometimes ( most times) girls get so caught up in society and the expectation of society, that you have to be in a relationship, that you will settle for any guy. Perhaps it's not only society, but the fact that you are afraid to be alone, or lonely?
Well you can be lonely even when you are with someone - even when surrounded by a group of people.

I am a hopeless romantic, and also a feminist, and it is for these reasons mainly, that I believe in the above quote...and I'm afraid the above quote might then also be the reason that I am single. 
But why settle for anything less than what you deserve? That seems like wasted time and effort to me. Time and effort that I would rather spend on myself, and family and friends... But maybe that's just me.


The main question here is - "where have all the good men gone?"
