Okay. Time for some schooling here. Yes, I am about to rant.

I am growing tired of this whole "I want a guy that is real" thing that seems to be like a hot topic here on Mingle lately. Used to be the topic was "Why do women like bad boys?", but now we have this current topic. Know why I am growing tired of it? It is simple. Because it seems that when someone posts this topic, they are either very young, or just had there heart broken, or blah, blah, blah.

Listen. The whole concept of being with someone is based around wanting to either compliment them, or (for the OP) wanting to be there world. No matter how you say it, don't you think that this is what the majority of people want?

Bad things happen to good people, especially in dating. I have had my heart broken before, and you know what (and I am not proud of it) I have broken someone's heart as well (I knew it was the best for us both, but it still hurt). Yes, people get frustrated because they are looking and then...BAM...they believe they have found the right one. They give of themselves, and feel that they have found true love...only to have it blow up in there face.

I am ranting because I feel that life is way too darn short to be whining here. I can sit back, complain, whine that there are nothing but bad women out there, but you know something? I don't do that. Look, I was married to a woman for nine years, and I dated her six years before we got married. I spent half of my life with this woman, thinking she was the one. Only, in the end, she decided I wasn't, and it took her two months to replace me. That hurt, and I dealt with it and moved on. Was it easy? Hell no it wasn't. But I am not about to let my life stop because of something that she decided. She didn't want me anymore. Ok, well, deal with it and move along, and that is what I did.

My point is this. Life is about a journey. Yes, you want someone to love, and I am happy you want that. I want the same thing (one day). But instead of getting frustrated and venting, just live life man. Have fun. Date some guys, and don't think that each one has the potential to be the guy you think is right for you. Heck, you might meet the man of your dreams on this site. It can happen. Take care of you for now, and when the right guy comes along, you will know what to do.
