You know, all three of you, Baggy, Cinco and Silly, are a cut above in many respects. Your stories are somewhat "usual", but you as men are not usual...hopefully you three do know that about yourselves, as you should take pride in being a cut above.

And the three of you being a cut above is WHY you will all three likely solve your SSM's. You will be proactive and you will fight for your "one". I know you all suffered for a long time, so I'm not trying to make it seem like it was all a bed of roses.

I can tell you, as a woman, that your feelings are somewhat in the minority, at least as far as what most men will wear on their sleeve. Meaning that, you have all described the difference between yourselves and "those other guys" who are busy running from one woman to the next, and you've done it with pride in yourselves as men. This is why you are a cut above. Other men, the ones who I was talking about in my post, who run from one woman to the next, are the ones who will likely not reach mature adulthood until much later in life, if ever.

But they are the majority, and as a woman, that is usually what we are dealing with. Yes, we do see you, the ones who are more about relationships and feeling connected, but you are the quiet minority. The REST of the men out there very LOUDLY make it clear to us women that we are meat to them, and we are supposed to be flattered by that fact.

Thank goodness for you minority or there would be literally no hope for women!

Your wives will one day figure it out. They really will. I hope you will remain patient until then.

But as far as general discussion and not about the three of you specifically...I stand by my point. As a woman, I've been hurt over and over by this "fact" and it doesn't change just because there are decent men out there. Its so hard to find those decent ones.

I'm very happy and lucky to have found one myself. And I will go out on a limb here and say something that I know just about anyone, man or woman, will think I am insane if I believe this but here it goes: my man doesn't want anyone but me.

:0)

It feels great to know this, even though I know no one else would think I was being very smart to believe this, they would just think that I bought the line of yet another man who just wants the prize.

But thanks again Baggy, Cinco, and Silly...you three are a treat for me. I love men, and I love meeting good examples of men, such as you.
