Where are the Good Men? Three Important Keys

man helping, good men, great men, children, where are good men, jerks, how to tell if a guy is a jerk, find a great man
One of the most common questions I receive is, where are the great men?

Where are the Good men? Do they exist? Are they out there somewhere?

Yes there are great men.... no question about this! The problem is not that they don't exist, it is that women are not looking in the right places.

Let me share three ideas to help you discover where there are great men.

First, if you are not finding a good man, then look somewhere else.
We all know that if we keep doing the same things over and over we will get the same results over and over... right? When was the last time you engaged in a new activity?

Do something different. Meet new people. Participate in a variety of activities and events. What is going on in your community? Check out the University. Enroll in a class. Find something in which you are interested and chances are you will find others with a similar interest.

Most likely you are stuck in some sort of routine, repeating patterns set some time ago right?

Change it up!

Next, think about the kind of great man you really want, then consider where these types of men spend their time.

For example, if you want a man who respects women, don't hang out in places where men are disrespectful. This isn't brain science but seems some women forget this very basic knowledge.

The problem some women have is that they go looking for a guy who will give them attention, but don't pay attention to what sort of guys they are attracting.

To be really clear, great guys are not hanging around not-so-great guys.

Finally, great men are doing something with their lives.

They are accomplishing something. They are involved and engaged. If you want to find a great man, you must be engaged in life as well.

Spending every free minute looking for a man is not what I mean. No, I'm talking about truly engaging in life. Learning, growing, creating, sharing, helping, giving.

Sitting around whining and complaining, hanging out at the bar, repeating the mantra that all men are jerks is not really going to help the situation.

Here is the bottom line, women who think that all they have to do is look hot and know how to flirt to get a great guy are fooling themselves. Yeah, you might get a guy but not a great one. Remember a cat call and a guy staring at your cleavage is not the same as finding a really fabulous man.

The reality is, a great man wants a great woman.

Simple as that!

I met some great men, so I know there are some in this sad world but they are either already taken, gay or single but live at the other end of the world!!! But it is still reassuring to know they are there...
