I have tried

Little is as always was
When romance still was king
Days of prose and days of poems
And days of songs to sing
I looked across a sea of smiles
And none were turned to me
For old I was in my ways
And not I'm meant to be

In the time of here and now
Another man is sought
His mouth must curse the one he's with
And she'll so be caught
Call her whore, call her slut
To you they will gather
Be like me and show respect
And son you will not have her

I have tried to be the man
That I was taught to be
Do not curse, show respect
Just brought me misery
I sometimes try to wear a mask
And be the cur girls seek
Soon still I find it is not me
Back to romantic geek

About this poem:
Just wish I could be like the guys that seem to have women drooling all over them no matter how badly they treat them. I look at my upbringing and wonder why I wasn't taught to be a bad boy type. They get the girls and no matter what women tell you nice guys not only finish last... They aren't even allowed in the race.

I like the poem, but cannot agree with you analogy, I was a bad boy, yeah got the girls but could never keep them.

P.S. I still love to have the door opened up for me by a gentleman. We like our independence but I still love a man with good manners. Take care.

This reminds me of a SNL skit with Donahue talking with women trapped in abusive relationships. One woman panelist wrote a book, Women Good Men Bad.idea shimmy
