Stiff Competition
"Let the games begin".
- Adrina Nelson

Women everywhere can sometimes be overheard  talking about there not being enough good men  around. Are there really not enough men out there or are women not sure of what they want?  The answer may be both.  The competition between single women is stiffer than ever because there seems to be a shortage of decent men in some of our communities. So the judgment is out, get him before the next woman does.

Have you ever been out  and saw, or even know a very attractive guy who seems to have it together in every aspect of life, but has a girl clinging to his arm?.  Then you think to yourself: “All the good ones are taken”.  This is what many single women feel when looking for their partner. 

Many single women look for the “perfect man” which is probably why they feel no one is out there.  There is no such thing as the perfect mate. So the competition begins, lets call it survival of the fittest. If you are quick enough and clever enough you will end up with the catch. In this game the slow one never wins. Where is the starting line in this competition? Your workplace, neighborhood, clubs, car washes, anyplace men  can be found. Yes there is stiff competition amongst women, lets face it there are more of us than them so we have to come with our “A” game at all times. The :good catch” is the guy we will kill for. So when we finally have him, there is no way we are letting him go.
 
Society has portrayed the perfect mate as being far more than the average individual, which makes finding a good man even more difficult.  He is the one all the women want because he is definitely a good catch.  However, looking for the catch of the day may not be worth fishing for.

The dating scene is so competitive because the majority of women have standards. Everyone wants the type of guy society has set forth as a “good catch”.  Muscular, athletic, tall (preferably), good job, benefits, a 401 k plan, no children( or as little as possible), his own apartment/ house/car, the list can go on forever. In reality, the “good catch” is usually the average man who didn’t walk off the cover of GQ and is in the process of becoming financially stable and successful. 

If single women reach deep inside their souls and really thought about what it is they want from men, there may be no competition.  Ever person is different, thus making their perception of what is a ‘good man’ different from the next woman.  Finding a mate is not about who is hot at the moment, but who is hot to you for a lifetime.
