 If you believe that....
I think it's more accurate to say "most people are full of shit until given a reason not to be." It may be the case that you find your Knight in Shining Armor, an assumed exception to your "men are dogs" rule, but if you knew how he treated the woman(en) before you, you may be apprehensive and skeptical. Even the nicest and most loving man in the world can be annoying, dishonest, and hurtful depending on the circumstances (even if it seems justified). That's about humans being human and not exclusive to men.
