You sound like a serious star. Thank you for that civilized, thoughtful, decent post. I'm a man-loving woman. I see you! Thank you for being such a lovely guy. xxoo

I've held the doors open for plenty of women DT since i work down there and many have said thank you. I don't necessarily do it to pick you up, i just do it out of courtesy. I know some ladies have eye'd me afterward, but i have a gf!! haha. But i plan on being single soon since we're drifting apart, but i'll always be nice to people unless you're an ass, It's fine :)

So then, are you single?

I plan too be yes since she doesn't really appreciate my quirkiness and being a real man. She's from overseas, so i guess she isn't used to here and takes nice guys like me for granted. I'm usually holding doors open for everyone at the Starbucks and on dunsmuir and seymour, tall and dark brown hair, you can't miss me, even the starbucks people know me :)

I consider myself a good man, or at least, I try to embody good through my actions and thoughts. I'm young, educated, and successful by my own definition. I'm simply trying to identify someone like myself as someone who exists and not of a dying breed. Some women think we are. GOOD is everywhere. You mirror what you perceive. I'm attractive and single and whatever happens, happens. When women complain about not being treated properly, I only wonder why they allow it...

Know the qualities worth loving, be THAT, and maybe you'll see a change in your life. I did the exact same thing. Self-respect comes first if you want respect.

I write this because I broke up with someone who found my qualities rare, and it is sad to think that she believes this.

That's all well and good. I think a lot of men make the mistake of being so nice that they don't communicate their desire. So be nice, but if you want to bone her, make sure to let her know somehow...nicely.

Pardon me, I see you...men.
I smile back, I say thank you... I also hold the door open if and when I get there first.

No height requirements, no body shape, no fiscal requirements beyond being able to take care of your own...
I don't have a "type"... I rely on chemistry, fun and a bit of common ground.

I love men!

I have been taken advantage of, ripped off, lied to and cheated on... so what? Their sins and my stupidity (learning) are not carried on to the next relationship as each person should be 'judged' on their own merit.

I still love men.

Good doesn't mean nice. Nice doesn't mean kind either. That said, I still agree with you brother, and maybe if she's good to me like I plan to be good to her, she will let me spank her while we're at it.

There is a difference between a man who knows what he wants and a man who chases what he thinks he wants. Distinguish the two and you'll find better men around you everywhere.

I love men, too. I say it all the time. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
grateful for men. 'Some folks will hold you. Some folks will hurt you. All will teach you.' I love all men, even the truly rotten, for the learning cannot be duplicated. I would say, I have found the men in my own life to be truly exceptional and gentlemanly. I feel so lucky. Thank you, darling men. xoxox RS

While I appreciate this post for its respectful tone and honesty, let's not get out of hand here by expressing how much gratitude and worship we all feel towards men. There are also many, MANY "good" women everywhere, but since women are primarily valued for their appearance rather than how "good" they are (we all know this is fact), they get seriously hurt in a way that men will never understand.

...having said that, I do have empathy for short men. It's gotta be tough.
