Define “good men”.
- dpeck 8y agoSame definition as it's always had. Either bring in money, do a good job caring for the home & family, or some combination those two. No one wants a partner, regardless of gender, that doesn't contribute.
- RankingMember 8y agoBy this definition, the example millennial male who is studying to become an EMT is on track to contribute but doesn't qualify as a "good man". Seems a little short-sighted.
- dpeck 8y agoif he's not contributing to family life while he's studying then you're right, he's not. He may be aspiring to be a "good partner", but if he's _only_ working on bettering himself that is exactly what most people do not want in a partner.
- DiabloD3 8y agoAlso define "failure to launch". From what I can tell, women who consistently complain they can't find a good man wants a self-made man who's already succeeded, instead of one in the process of acquiring that success. This is identical to a guy who quits on the third day because he's not the CEO yet, even though his job is in the mail room and no one even knows his name yet. Want something in life? Work for it. There are no participation prizes in life: this goes for both the traditional male and traditional female roles. Success only sees success, no matter what you choose to do in life.
