I can not for the life of me understand why. You take a man that treats a woman like a lady or queen eventhough you may not have a lot to offer you still make them feal that way just for them to leave you. Now you take a man that is physical or mentaly abusive to a woman and they wont leave them for the world. I have always treated them the best that I can and the way that I wanted to be treated and they leave. Can someone please explain this to me

Just part of being human. Some people are just different and may need a challenge in their life.
I am like you and try to treat people with respect and kindness. I think the thing to remember is you cannot expect anything in return or you will end up very disappointed. Find someone who is as friendly, loving and caring as you are, and you have the battle won...

I don't know.. funny ole thing isn't it.
I think sometimes it's because a woman thinks she can bring out the best in a man.. and he will stop being like that with her.. change.. and everything will be hunky dory. (but we know that never works, don't we)
I think sometimes it just takes them a good few years.. or a good few bad relationships to see that.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Good men do not finish last. This is a misconception. Most of the women I know have good men in their lives, they are their partners or their husbands. They are valued by these women for being good, decent men. However, they are also men of character, will, personality, etc. The men who continually whine about women not wanting a 'good man' are men who have no personality...they treat women like a 'queen.' I don't want to be treated like a queen or a princess. I am a strong, thinking, independent, individual and I want a man who is all those things too. I don't want someone who is weak emotionally or intellectually. I want an equal, a peer. I don't need someone to cater to me or take care of me.
There are some women, mostly younger or older who are immature, who are still attracted to the 'bad boy' thing; but most mature women have gone past that stage. Maybe you are, for some reason, only interested in immature women? Maybe you think that attracting, having, and keeping a woman means you subject your personality to hers? I don't know. But I'll tell you one thing, a man who constantly goes around whining that women don't want good men is not very attractive. I love good, decent men...they are the ONLY kind of men I am interested in.

I used to wonder the same thing, but have more-or-less abandoned this notion. Experience has taught me that some of this is self-inflicted, and that perhaps we sometimes we don't know what is good, or for that matter, not good, for us.
Sometimes not getting what we want is not necessarily finishing last.

True...nice does not mean that you are guaranteed anything. Many more variables involved to the whole....

well
gals want a good guy but they want them also with
a wild side (the wildes the best, and the longer the wild side is the better, they want the good guy only whenit comes to be monogamous)
to be good looking (the more good looking the better, and the moe good looking the less "good guy" he can be)
they want hom witha good job (the more whealthy the less "good guy" he can be)
they want them with a nice car (the nicer car the less "good guy") he can be)
in short if they find KEN with a Ferrari and private plane, then no need to be a good guy
if they are to settle for less, then the good guy will be aceptable
StressFree: True...nice does not mean that you are guaranteed anything. Many more variables involved to the whole....
There are variables....oftentimes men who claim to be good guys, who actually believe they are good guys, are not...they may not be obviously aggressive, but they are passive aggressive, etc. These men are not flawless...and their idea of a 'good guy' is very subjective and often extremely self-serving.
