good men/women left.

I'm facing this right now on FB. This girl that I have been somewhat okay friends with has started the "there are no good men left" tirade. I see more ladies do this than men (sorry, but this is my own personal experience), but am aware that some men do this as well.

If these people really thought that there were no good men/women left, why are they friends with the opposite gender in the first place? I can guaran-damn-tee that there are plenty of good people that are in these people's lives that they're just overlooking for stupid reasons, or because they want what they can't have.

Damn, people just make me sick.

There's plenty of good men and women left. It's a case of those good men and women liking them back, though.

Generally speaking though it's a cliché the uninspired use to garner attention from the opposite sex (it's called fishing). They want "nice guys" and "girls that like a challenge" to give them attention but not necessarily build on it. It might be for pity, gratification, validation, sex, pity versions of those things and so on.

"Nope - that one has furry eyebrows."
"Nope - that one is a little pudgy."
"Nope - that one doesn't have a six-figure income."
"Nope - that one has a tattoo."
"Nope - that one has a kid from a previous marriage."
"Nope - that one has dated too much."
"Nope - that one hasn't dated enough..."

Awww... no "good ones" left? Only if you consider a perfect ten merely "good".
Too damned picky!

Pretty much.

s**t makes me sick. I feel like I'm the only sane person in this world sometimes.

Just don't have friends.

The reason why people do make friends with the opposite gender is sex (not necessarily intercourse).

One of my friends said that the other day.

Apparently the fact that her sort of "partner" didnt share her hobby of watching Opera and was a little surprised she was so pissed at the audience (she reffered to the audience as peasants when telling this story) are probably going to break her relationship.


To make things better this is what I considered to be my most down to earth female acquaintance/friend(forced weekly meetings, we are getting to the friendship zone)

Yeah, I'm pretty much mostly a misanthrope anyway. Maybe it's time I went whole hog on the deal.

And no offense to your friend, spongy, but if she is the most down-to-earth person you know, then people really are screwed.

I'm tired of people, not at all you guys, but people who actually have an easy time with dating, and like it, but still complain about it the way you guys describe. Like if someone dated me (God only knows when I will succeed at that), as in seeing each other in person and living close together, breaks up with me and puts me in the friend zone but then ruins my reputation by spreading to other women how much of an arse I was or something, so all my friends think I am an arse now and etc. Imagine if both men and women stopped gossiping about the bad things about their ex bf/gf and started to gossip about the good things!

Do women only talk about people? Guys it's really easy to talk about stuff but with women I can't seem to talk about stuff.

I doubt it. Imagine a woman who loved to blacksmith, or work on cars, or hunt, or collect knives and hatchets. That type of woman who loves to talk about 'guy' stuff is usually ridiculed for being manly, which I would imagine contributes to our dilemma. Stop ridiculing that in the women you hang out with, and I imagine one will recognize you for it, if you know where to look.

Whiningish == English

"There's no good men/women left" == "There's no men/women left that *I* find good"
"Where are the good men??" (no "/woman" because I only hear this version) == "Where are the men who are good for me?"

Plenty of good single women left. Don't know where the f.ck to find them, though, given that my social circle is limited.

Social circles are a good way to restrict your chances. Expand it a bit at least, some of the best ones are not your friends at the moment.

In my experience, the good women are the ones doing all the complaining about there being no decent guys. Lose-lose.

Either way, many people are jaded and bitter by the prospect of love or falling in love, try to avoid these types of people as you will find they are usually in a constant circle of short-term relationships and flings.

Look at people who use dating websites for a good example of this, most of them will remain single for a long time.
