text: women, please help me understand? i have seen and heard a million times, "where is the perfect man?" you always ask for a guy who is romantic and caring, who has a sense of humor and fits the knight in shining armor description. funny thing is, i happen to know several of those kind of guys (me being one of the unfortunate ones we speak of). all of us manage to have the occasional great relationship that lasts a little while, then we get dropped. not only that, but we get dropped for the guys that you all come up with problems about. so i guess my question is, why do you all want guys like us so bad; and yet, when you find us you put us on the sidelines? you know what?  that is soooooooooo true!!  but i havent got a answer for your question.  but that is true.  i was seeing a really good guy who did everything in the world for me and plus was really good looking!  but i was sooooooo not happy!  not for sure why.  but then again, he was my age and i like older guys.  that could be it, dont know.  that is a really good question.  hope u get a good answer.  sorry about my answer!  i know it sucked!
