Where have All the Good Men Gone
I’ve been hearing this chant for the longest time. At one point nearly every woman I knew was lamenting on the same thing: “Where have all the good men gone?” “There just aren’t any good ones left”. I’m ashamed to admit that many moons ago, even I joined in with the chorus. So many of us were saying it – it had to be true right?
Wrong.
Thankfully I saw the light years ago and realized that there were loads of good men left. And they are absolutely everywhere! It really isn’t that hard once you know How to Get A Boyfriend.
But for those of you, who still believe that all the ‘good men have gone’, just vanished into thin air, been snapped up by vixen type Martians, I’m sorry to have to say it: but you’ve been duped. Plain and simple.
You see, it started out as a simple catchphrase made infamous by the amazing Bonnie Tyler, back in the day. That’s right ladies; it’s the lyrics of a song! A very famous song I might add:
Where have all the good men gone (….ring a bell?)
and where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss
and I turn
and I dream of what I need.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night.
He’s gotta be strong
and he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight.
I need a hero. I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light.
He’s gotta be sure
and it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life!
larger than life…
Bonnie Tyler
My theory is that a group of really hot chicks, or vixen type Martians, who wanted to monopolize the dating scene, decided to put the rest of us off the scent by taking the lyrics completely out of context and propagated the message. Because the lyrics, of the very famous song, lingered somewhere in the back of our minds, (we’d heard it on Heart FM or heard our moms singing it, or whatever), the words resounded and resonated with us and we immediately accepted it as the truth! No good men left. Not for us. Meanwhile the really hot chicks were out on date-a-thons!
Yup. But that’s just my theory mind you 
But where have all the cool chicks gone?
My name is not Joe – I lied. I just found this site by typing in “I need a cool Chick” as an internet search. I just got back from a restaurant where my wife tried to manage the restaurant by complaining about having no seating in one of their sections within earshot of the hostess. Then 1 minute later we were seating in the sections they were trying to close…makes for a fun restaurant experience when the management and employees are annoyed that you have decided that you know how to run the restaurant better than they do!!!!
5:54 AM where is this web site — England?
It is 10:54 PM on june 7th here in Arizona, USA.
What do you cool women think — was it OK to try to run the restaurant or appropriate to leave instead of trying to run their restaurant (I don’t like saliva in my margarita!).. or other comments?
I’m a believer of there are good men out there. You will also meet ones that aren’t. But isn’t that part of life. Growing up, experiencing life & learning from your mistakes & finding the one you were meant to be with.
According to my mom, men were a lot more gentlemanly in her time, but according to my grandma they were always pigs LOL. I think it’s true that men are no longer like real man these days. You see 40 and 50 year old men playing video games in all their spare time and they no longer do what real men used to do. How could you think or be like a man when you don’t live like it? So I agree that there are still good men out there, but they’re hard to find because the vast majority of our male counterparts are like little babies.
Re: your grandma! LOL!!
When I’m single, it always feels like all the good men have just evaporated into thin air. When I fall in love, I just can’t believe how lucky i was to meet such a great guy. Then he cheats on me or borrows money and doesn’t pay back and we end up having an ugly breakup. I begin to think again, “Where the heck are all the nice guys?” When it comes to men and romance, it’s like I’m on a constant loop.
Hey Helen. Glad you enjoyed the post. There really are some great single guys out there. It’s just about knowing how to connect with them
Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’ve stayed out of the dating scene for too long and I’m probably just giving up before even trying. This is what a nasty breakup will do to a gal, you know. I gotta get my courage back and start dating again. There’s got to be a good guy for me out there, right?
Hehe~ I hope you’re right about this cool chick, because I’m still a believer that all the good guys have disappeared off the face of this earth. Maybe it’s just me that has some horrible men in her life, but aside from my brother in law, who is a good man, I haven’t found a good man for the longest time. In all seriousness though, maybe I’m just not opening myself for people to get close to me, I really don’t know anymore.
