I like men. Most of my best friends in school were guys. I think that in some ways they are easier to have as friends than women, because there's no competition about who is prettier, thinner, wears better clothes, dates cuter guys, etc.

I *know* I am fortunate, in that I met and married my sweetheart a long time ago, we met while I was in college. I still love him, and am glad he loves me!

I never went through the "dating scene" that others have. But I do maintain that there are good men out there, just as there are good women out there. I am friends with some of each. NO ONE likes to feel like prey. Being happy with yourself in your own right is more attractive to people than being a needy person just looking for the next "good catch!" And those looking for that "perfect someone" are the unhappiest ones I know, because human beings are all flawed by nature.

I maintain that there is no need to hate men. Or women, either - I like both genders humanity offers!
