As I grow older and wiser, I'm starting to mature and realize that not every man on the face of the Earth is after one thing only. However, thanks to no-good boyfriends and backstabbing "friends", I have been conditioned to believe otherwise. For about 4 years or so, I have truly believed that sex and cheating were on every man's brain 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I guess I was so bitter and jaded that my hope and faith in the opposite sex completly evaporated until I was determined to be single forever simply to save myself the heartache of future failed relationships in which I would inevitably be cheated on. Well, I must confess that I feel differently now. I don't know what's changed exactly. I've been praying more, and I've been asking God to help restore my faith in men, because my number one wish is to meet and marry the man of my dreams. Well, whatever happened, I'm glad. Now that I've learned that not all men are cheating nymphomaniacs, I think I'll be much happier as I await the entrance of Mr. Right into my life. :)

My attitude toward men was VERY similar for many years. Like you, I finally tried prayer--but I was 40 years old. Within two months, my prayer for the "the gentlest of all possible husbands" was answered. We married within 8 months and next week we celebrate our 11th anniversary. Prayer works.
On a side note, my husband came home from work one day last week joking about "cavity searches." Deliberately, I did not laugh--not because it wasn't funny, but because I wanted to make a point. Women, I said, have to put up with cavity searches all the time. They're not so bad, I said. He grinned.
I dunno about prayer, but I will say that there are decent guys. I don't know any personally (sorry) but they do exist.
Keep your chin up and keep your positive attitude and someone will notice.
Katie, sure they exist. I heard somewhere in Northern Sibiria they are gathering to conquer the world. I understand that we (mostly men) are hormon driven, but we need to control us... the harm caused by not being honest, by cheating is far larger than whatever we "win".
