[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many relationship forum threads seem to devolve into the notion that “good” men (employed, functional) are rare - and I think we can all agree on that.  That being the case, why can’t men just…improve themselves?  Dress better, aim higher, work harder, get out there? What is stopping them??[/quote]

I dispute your premise. There must be something about you that is attracting bad men. [/quote]

This is OP and it’s not about me: my husband is one of the unicorns (tall, high earner, great dad, dresses well, treats me like a princess).  But his brother? His brother in law?  Essentially worthless.  My brother?  Could use a lot of work, particularly when it comes to emotional intelligence and maturity.  My sister’s boyfriend? Nearly twenty years older than she is and using her for her credit, essentially.

There’s a lot of duds out there, IRL.  It’s not hyperbole. [/quote]

I dispute the basis for your premise - your family and posts on the internet - and your premise. Many do, so, no, we don’t all agree. Good men are not rare.
