They say a good man is hard to find... (marriage, women, love)

[mistachy]

But not hard to Keep. While that may be true... it's seeming more and more like the good ones don't get kept?

That adage makes no sense to me. I figure good men are just as hard/easy to find as good women, so why single out men? Also it takes work to maintain a good relationship or marriage with anyone. I wouldn't call it easy to "keep" a good partner. I don't know what you mean about good ones getting away...the implication is that people don't want to put in the work? I don't really see that.

The question is open ended to answer how you like...and, the "good ones getting away" is more from personal experience.

I see. Well, I'm making sure I'm keeping my good one

That is the right attitude indeed... and a gifted quality in a person.

I don't pay any attention to that.

I live my life the way I see fit. People come and go; good and bad.

Seems like based on what? Your observations. I can't argue about what you see, I'm sure you wouldn't lie.

I see a lot of good men being kept, so it seems to me to be the opposite.

Observations can be relative. In my personal experience, the weapons of Love destruction are a mess... coming from someone on the receiving end.
