I understand your frustration ladies. All you want is an honest, loyal, loving, and fun guy to share your life with. We’re all here on this earth to find and share love with each other, so why does finding a good man feel like looking for a needle in a giant haystack?

Men make mistakes. I mean, we all do. But, let’s get real, men especially. Being in a relationship means that you’re going to have to forgive some mistakes, though.
