Do women want good men?

I often hear some women moan
About how there are no good men.
While most of us may be useless
There are some that might rank a ten.


I sit back and often wonder
What would a woman do with a good catch?
Would they honor him and love him,
Or get bored and throw him back?


I have seen it more than one time
Where a man was devoted to his wife.
The woman would eventually get used to it
And decide there must be more to their life.


Is it just that some women want danger?
Or are they just thrilled with the hunts?
Quite a few of them I have encountered
Are attracted to those who pull stunts.


I hope some day will bring balance
And couples will follow the wedding vow text.
If the one that you love doesn't hurt you
Don't be looking for who might be next.

    While I can't speak for anyone else, I've never been attracted to the "bad boy" type! (Life's got enough drama of its own, without deliberatly adding to it!) But you make a good point here. (And do it very poetically, I might add!) And I think it's probably just inherent in humans (be it female, or male) that we tend to get easily "bored" with what we have. Which is why it is so very important to work on the relationship that you're in! This was a wonderful write! Great job!

    It's biological... and can only be overcome via WILL. It is actually softwired into our evolutionary past at a time when the purpose of esistence was to pro-create so to perpetuate the species. The offspring of a warior... risk taker... bad boy... would me more likely to adopt some of those qualities and enhance its success at longevity and pro-creation. A man of such nature would be as well a great protector against predators. Women tend to perceive greater stability in self confident and self assured partners no matter. And when it is all said and done... you are still dealing with the only constant in life... CHANGE.

    Good message within...I have a good man on so many levels. I'm told all the time how wonderful he is. But.....he is an old grump and I like to laugh. I guess there will always be chemistry with the "bad boy" I have written about him myself. "The Dark horse" In the end its really the good guys we need and want though.
