What Constitutes A Decent Man In 2010?

We women are quick to use the cliched phrase there aren't any good men left out there but its getting truer and truer by the day. How do you determine what a good man is in 2010? When was the last time we actively looked for that decent man instead of just conveniently scooping up which ever men come our way? In past generations, a decent man was quite different than what one would consider a decent man by today's standards. In the past you needed to provide for us and our family, make sure the boys knew how to catch a ball or ride a bike, and be an all around good guy. You were judged not only by us, but by your peers, your family, and your parents. If you made a mistake, everyone knew about it and you would be humiliated. There were no divorces, just therapy and continued marriage. Today's average man is a far cry from the man of yesteryear and because of this our definition of a good man has decreased as well. What has happened to our society when he only has two kids and by the same woman is a selling point? When as long as he comes home at night I don't care what he does during the day is more of a motto than a defense mechanism? Having a job shouldn't be a positive attribute it should be a given. We live in an era where you can contact people half way across the globe in a matter of seconds and utilizing a handful of methods, yet we still struggle to find that decent man. Is this our own doing? Are we not trying hard enough to find that one good guy in a sea of rejects? What are some of the methods you employ to filter out the good from the bad?
