Where have all the good men gone?

“Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?….. I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night”. Who can forget Bonnie Tyler belting out this song, and the film clip above from one of my favorite movies Footloose. The thing is I don’t really need a hero or a god just a descent man will do!

Women always ask me, “Where do you go to meet descent single men?” I’m probably not the best person to ask this, as I haven’t found one yet. Well that’s a bit harsh; there are nice men out there I just haven’t found my match. I am getting frustrated trying to find someone who wants to be in a relationship. I don’t know how many times I hear, ”I’m just not ready for a girlfriend, but we can be friends”. Oh yeah with benefits! That’s just having your cake and eating it to. Damned if I’m being the cake anymore. It’s just an excuse, it’s not that he doesn’t want a girlfriend it’s that he just doesn’t want you, it’s as simple as that. I don’t want someone who’s not that into me, but am I being unrealistic? Is there going to be a white knight on a fiery steed? Or will I be sitting at home in my pj’s doing a Bridget Jones singing “All by myself” into a hairbrush. No way, I’m going to keep going out and trying different and new ways to meet men.

I have read many articles giving suggestions of places for single people to meet. Here are a few examples:

- Online dating, of course if you have read my other blogs you already know my track record is not good, but I won’t give up …yet.
- Speed Dating. I haven’t tried it yet; it kind of scares me, because what if no one picks me! That’s a waste of $50.
- Singles Parties, plenty of companies put on singles nights, especially all the online websites. I will put my name down for one now and get back to you about how it goes.
- Work, unfortunately I work in a female orientated industry, childcare. So unless I want to hook up with one of the Dad’s (single of course) or tradies who regularly visit, there’s not much potential here.
- A few interesting ones like, Circus School, cooking classes, fitness groups and ocean swims. Mmmm maybe a little too adventurous for me.

So the dodgy dark nightclub is not the best place to meet someone apparently. If only I knew 4 years ago! I think it’s time to move on, to find my hero elsewhere.
