How many times have you heard a man say I’m a “good guy” and then observed behavior that speaks to the contrary? Somewhere along the twisted trajectory of romantic relationships, not being a bad guy made every man who has a job, loves his mama, and doesn’t put his hands on a woman think he’s a good guy. But is that really all it takes?
As I see an increasing number of disgruntled comments from men on social media complaining about women not wanting a “good guy” like them I thought, perhaps men don’t understand what it really means to be a good man. Yes, you have your fair share of women who do indeed have a gentlemen before them and still pick the bad boys. But as much as I hear women complain about finding a partner, I refuse to believe they’re turning down good options left and right.
So, I took to social media to ask women and men what makes a man a good guy. (Interestingly, I only got one male response.) Nevertheless, here’s what people had to say. Leave your own thoughts in the comments section.
