i actually know a surprising number of very decent guys these days (well there are only three girls on my course, so if the guys weren't decent i'd have very few friends), guess it's just a matter of being at the right place at the right time to find them.
yes, that is very true. i know decent guys as well, just not really any here. i think it mostly has to do with the fact that i've been here for 2 months and the guys here are still very unimpressing. seems like at least one or two should show up by now.
Out of curiousity though, how're you operationalizing the term 'decent'? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I am quite interested in pondering just what constitutes 'decency' in your context.
well, 'decent' could mean that they could carry on a conversation about something worthwhile. (which seems to be hard for a lot of them) and also that they can be somewhat serious at times. i really hate it when a guy makes fun of you because you fell for some stupid sarcastic comment he made by saying "dude, you actually believed me?" i mean, what is that? lame. their way of trying to seem smarter, which just ends up turning me off. grow up. i like a goofy guy, but not someone who can't ever be serious. other decent characteristics....reliability. not going back on your word or making excuses. that's really important. but i could go on. and i know not one guy will ever be this ideal 'decent' person, but it would be nice if they had a couple decent characteristics. not too much to ask, isit?
No, it isn't too much to ask for, but I think it's a symptom of both your age bracket and environment. It's rather troubling really (well, was rather troubling until I stopped caring too much), but I find myself in a mirrored situation. The girls here (and I use the word 'girls' purposely) are comparably frivolous and irritating for the most part. To my mind, it appears as a means of masking one's insecurity and the fact that they may indeed be a mental midget
( ... )
even the ones you think are decent end up being wankers. or maybe they were always wankers but you really wanted them to be decent. either way, always a let down. i think it's the y chromosome. AND YET we're still so attracted to the opposite sex; it's the most frusterating catch-22 in the world.
no you're not ALL bad. and yes i had fallen at the moment, but it is so true that even if i do find a decent guy, he'll just disappoint me later on. it's happened a couple times already. quite annoying really.
