The question of "where have all the good men gone?" is often asked by women who can't fine or attract good men.

But most women will be quick to say when a particular man does not "deserve" a good woman. YET, they seem to believe ALL women deserve a good man... ?

Double standard?

You get what you deserve. Women (and men) are mistreated because they let themselves, or because they deserve it.

I don't think you even know what a feminist is, and I think that, if you joined a group labeled "feminist," and did not listen and learn, but immediately started objecting to this and that, you have no one to blame but yourself for your lack of understanding. Why would they dislike you because you are a man? Most feminists are married women, or living with their lovers. They do not dislike men. They just want equal pay for equal work. It's that simple. The word "feminist" has been turned into a profanity by the Christian Right, the same as the word "Liberal." This shows a lack of respect for the views of other people. Any girl who sneers at feminism cannot remember the day when women received about a third of a man's pay for the same work, when there were no Shelters for women who were beaten and bruised by brutal men, when men could walk away and leave a woman destitute, with no money and two or three little kids. Thanks to women like Betty Freidan and others, this situation has changed and now, no woman has to stay with a wifebeater for financial reasons, and women get paid adequate salaries. It is still lower than men's salaries in some cases, but it is at least better. Going backward in time to a country with discrimination in pay for women is not my idea of equality. Call me a feminist. Call me a liberal. I think they are two fine words, but first and foremost, I am also a woman and an American!

I guess if you are a good woman; you deserve a good man. Not everyone is good though... So the answer to your main question would be No.

Women tend to disrespect the "good men" and go with the "bad boy" until they are ready to settle down. Then when they are ready to settle down, they merely expect a "good man" to suddenly be waiting for them. When that doesn't happen; they blame men, rather than accept responsibility for where they are in life.

The women who come to their senses and find a good man get rewarded. The others reach 35+ and then probably no one wants them. Statistically, if you're 35+ female and not married, you're screwed; I mean you're not much good for a family now, you're looks are fading and the fact you have not found someone by 35 means your personality probably isn't much to write home about; She's only going to get a man who is willing to settle for less the same as her...

I noticed you put the "particular man" part in lower case, but your generalization of "ALL" women in caps.

No, not all women deserve a good man, just like not all men deserve a good woman. I've met many couples where I've thought "He's too good for her".

I think all GOOD women deserve a GOOD man.

But, the idea that a "good" woman is an attractive one and a "good" man is a rich one is absolute baloney.

No not All women deserve a GOOD man.
Only GOOD women deserve a GOOD man.

On the contrary.

I've seen plenty of individual cases where I didn't think a woman deserved a particular man she was with. There have been plenty of times I've said, "he's too good for her."

There was one guy in particular. He referred to his then girlfriend as his "better half." I met her and had to bite my tongue to keep from saying, "Your... better half?! I beg to differ."

There have been cases of the vise versa nature as well. I try to take them all on an individual level.

For, paradoxically there is only one generalization that makes sense;
Generalizations are ALL foolish.

Wendy's answer is correct and it also explains why so many feminists wind up alone or with someone so spineless they resemble play-dough, that is malleable to accept any form she chooses.

In my opinion, the ideal of a "good man" to a 'normal' woman (that is: non:feminist), a good man is one that will support and protect his family to the best of his ability and at the same time accept that he is mortal and as imperfect as she is.

Cloudcity, has it ever occurred to you that maybe those 35+ women might not think they're screwed. Maybe the reason they didn't get married earlier was because they didn't really want children or that children weren't a high priority in their lives. They also might have not been ready for marriage when they were younger. It's worse to get married when you're not ready emotionally or financially than to wait until you're older and more settled. Besides, if those women want children, there's always adoption or stepchildren. Many also can still have children of their own at that age.
