The Slim-Pickings of Men Out There

What is it about men today?  They're either smothering with love or just plain disrespectful.  Where the hell are the normal MEN out there?  I mean, honestly...I blame our years of bitching and complaining as women that we want our men to be "sensitive to our needs" and "understand our feelings."  This is why our men aren't manly anymore.  They might as well be women!  And if that's the case, then why not just date a woman?  That's all hip and accepted these days...so go for it.

Unlike the rest of the crazy female population, I'd say I appreciate men as MEN.  I like 'em burly and big (and also sometimes disgusting with their belches and such).  I like to feel protected when I'm with them, not like I'd have to kick the burgular's ass while comforting my man saying "It's okay, honey!  They didn't take anything!"  And another thing...he really has to be able to open the pickle jar, don't you agree?

If you're not dealing with the smothering, mama-loving, over-sensitive type of man, then you're likely familiar with the "asshole" type.  He never wants to plan anything.  He never wants to talk to you execpt late at night.  And most importantly, he talks to you like you're a walking t-bone (except that the bone's in his pants).  And you like the attention so you run with it.  Cry for help?

Maybe what we as women need isn't finding our own independence WITHOUT a man, but finding our independence with one?  We need men who will be there for us when we need them to be, but give us space to have our own lives, too.  We need someone who isn't afraid of a little dream-chasing, but also is stable enough in his mind that he knows when to be serious.  We need, especially in this economy, a man who can keep his finances in order.  Or at least keep a job at all.  Or ever have had one.  Or maybe to just not be living with his parents still by the time he's 30?

Maybe our standards are slipping just a bit in these tough times...
