My girlfriend doesn't bat an eye to the jewelry I give her,
Care whether I have a job or not,
Or look like Ben Afflack.
All
she
wants
is
for
me
to
love and respect
her and her son.

That is what most women want I tell anyone that wants to date me . I just need to know they respect me and that I MATTER to them. But like a friend of mine said when the news of the UGA mascot died. They can a good dog before the can find a good man.

But like a friend of mine said when the news of the UGA mascot died. They can (find) a good dog before the(y) can find a good man.
Okay, I'll admit it. This is one of those hot button issues with me. The casually tossed off insult to all men, (and/or women) painting us all, with the same brush of being losers, jerks and a$$holes. It just P!$$@$ me off.
Good men and women are easy to find and they are readily available in large quantities. There are dozens, (probably hundreds) of them who post in these forums on a regular basis. We see them every day, in our schools, libraries, churches, police/fire/rescue departments, day care centers....The thing is that when we see them, we don't choose them.
The problem is not the lack of good men & women, the problem lies with our ability and desire to discern them from the others. Very often, while we say, we just want a good woman (or man), the truth is that we callously pass them by, without thought. Instead, we choose to pursue someone who is exciting, sexy, intersting, dangerous. We ignore their issues. Then we wonder, where all the good ones are.
If you want to know why you ended up with a jerk, keep in mind that you chose him/her in the first place.

Yep, I remember saying to a friend of mine that I really just wanted a good man. I had a date with a guy the next day, we had so many similar interests and attitudes that it was uncanny, but he was so painfully thin that I cringed...I didn't callously pass him by, but the bottom line was the same. If there's not a common physical attraction, it just won't work.
(But if you have that attraction without mutual respect, it STILL won't work).
I'm happy to say that my SO is definitely one of the good guys...my picker's finally working, wish it had started a lot earlier.

Say_yes, you are so right!
Most of the time women just pass these guys right by. I think women need to sit and think and write down what they really want and go look for it.

I actually asked my gf what she wanted from me. 
Respect was all she requested.
Not a bad trade for her to spend the rest of her life with me.

I have a great husband.... he sent flowers to me again today at work, with a card that just said " I love you" .... I get that a lot from him. I get jewelry regularly, but my favorite gift was my new fishing pole 
We don't fight. Sometimes we may get angry at one another for something minor..
He doesn't like the way I mow the yard, I don't like the way he does laundry. (he shoves everything in the washer together)
But fight? never.
He knows when I need my space. We fish together , go for rides on the back roads, go out to dinner frequently.
He has a warped sense of humor ( which I still have a hard time getting sometimes)
yesterday when the tornado warnings went out, I was just about to walk out the door of the store, he calls and tells my boss to tell me to NOT come home, and said go to his brothers house. I went there as directed (  love that word)
and thought, dammit, if a tornado comes through our house, the I was gonna be there with him (yeah, I know, stupid, right?)
He calls me a jack ass and I call him a smart ass.
But I love him and he loves me and i got everything i want AND everything I need

You are right Yesman, I am sorry for that comment. All to often we pass up a good person because they don't FIT our idea of our perfect match.

You know what I want? A bra. That fits. And it would be nice if it moved when I moved (in the same direction preferably)
A man with a sense of humor that can laugh with me when the above proves impossible. And still loves me when I take the damn thing off.
I'm not looking for unconditional love. I am well aware that there are to many bizarre things about me. But a man who could find that my good qualities out-weigh my bad would be much appriciated.
A voice that soothes me. A touch that stirs me. A man who understands that home is the biggest priority. Who sighs when he walks in the door just glad that he's finally there.
I want more than respect. I want the whole damn package. A man who can play like a child, laugh with me like my best friend, but is strong enough to lead us through the dark times. Because they will come. They always do. And that is when you really find out what your man is made out of.

Miss spelling words?
Sorry that’s a deal breaker for me.

That shouldn't be to hard to find.
