Because they are all taken, and if not they're underage

Most are taken, just wait though, they some times don't last with who they are with. lol I got a chain mail which I normally delete after reading but this one was really great and is true. This is just part of it though. *** This is very cute! And even written by a guy! You might agree with it, but when it actually happens 99% of girls don't realize it 'til it is too late and that guy who did it is so frustrated that he has moved on to someone who will take notice.

I don't know why its like that. I suppose its easier for a man to find a nice woman. I wish God would help even things out a bit! It's really sad though. Sometimes women marry men who are up to ten years younger for this reason I think. But they can be a bit juvenile and that, I suppose, could lead to a separation and then you would be in the same position all over again. I don't know. When do you know to hold on to one?

Just don't say because all the decent men are taken or gay because I'm gay and I can't seem to find a man either. Richard Shines

maybe it's because we're so impatient. or because we're looking in the wrong places

Not a lady, but some of us guys are busy on AB and some of us are decent. At least I think I am decent.

Because our expectations are romanticized. Basically, we are all waiting for our handsome knight in shining armor to ride in on his white horse and save us from all our everyday problems and worries---when in actuallity the average guy next door is what we really need in our lives but we cant see him because of our fairy tale fantasies. Basically, the decent guys are there---but we're not looking for "decent", we're looking for Prince Charming. Sorry, but true.

There are plenty of decent guys around. They just are overlooked by most women.

Perhaps ladies standards for what constitutes a 'decent' guy have evolved to a point where most men find them difficult to meet? . . . http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2007/08/06/mystery_qa/index.html

Sorry, I've reduced the decent guy population by one. I got a good one :)

Many of us are taken, now. We're out there, but many women tend to fall for the more outgoing and rough guys, from my observation. It seems they think they can change him. They want someone to mother, but once married, they don't want to mother him any more, and end up arguing with him all the time. Look around. See the guy against the wall just listening to the music, watching everyone and nursing a beer? Not the handsomest guy there, so few notice him. (I never danced... Not good at it!) Maybe he's the sound- or light-guy for the band (I was!) The band got noticed... I didn't. He MAY be a bit more outgoing with the guys and shoot poole, but around girls his friends do the talking, and usually end up with them. Sometimes he has glasses and his friend doesn't. And now, sometimes they don't go out much. Maybe they are "between jobs" and can't afford to go out (which is what many girls want), or maybe they just don't like the bar and party scene, and prefer to stay at home. They may be on AIM, MS IM, YAHOO! IM, for their families to reach, or sites like these for the fun of it. Want someone who enjoys the things you do? Check out the hobby sites and their message boards. They're out there. Don't give up on those of us that aren't taken. They're still looking and lonely... BTDT.

I know plenty of decent guys and they unfortunately get overlooked. Perhaps you are looking in all the wrong places.

because your definition of decent is unrealistic and unfair :-/

sometimes decent guys, have insecurities and tend to lean towards the wrong types of girls, i.e sluts and so on because theyre the only people that show them attention. A decent guy would be they're holding you up and taking you to the bathroom when your drunk and sick and can't walk properly, even though his mates are laughing and making fun, a decent guy wouldn't care because he knows hes doing the right thing and knows that if he is a good guy and cares about how people feel , then in the long run when he needs people to fall back on then they'll be there for him. A decent guy will go out of his way to do nice things for you. And a decent guy can often be misplaced for a sleaze because hes so lonely that he craves affection and would jump at the opportunity to get female attention, when really hes after a long term commitment. he's also sensative and kind, and understanding & not prejudice. Good luck with finding you're decent guy.

it isnt, open up your eyes and your heart and invite people in
