What is a good man? What is a good woman? Have we created an image that doesn't exist and that is why many of us are single? Are we being truthful and realistic with our approach? Do we have, what we are asking for? Our opinion of what is good will change with maturity. A woman may define a good man as one who provides, protects, encourage. Most women will say he has to earn a certain amount of money, reside in a certain area and drive a certain car. But what if he has all of those qualities and he is disrespectful, dishonest and he cheats. Men may say a good woman is one who is independent, a decent cook, great in bed and carries herself with respect. If that is the case what if she treats you better than she treats her children. I want all of the men and women to call in so we can have a better understanding of what we are expecting. Call in Thursday at 7:30 347-215-8985. We want to hear from you.
