YESSS!! I totally agree with you. In my circle of friends, (maybe about 6 of us that are somewhat close), ONE of us has been in a relationship since our freshman semester (about 4 years), and the rest of us are just like
. Our conversations have centered around this very topic the last few gatherings we have had. Why is it so hard to find a 'good man'. Why is it that WE were told that most of us would find "our soulmate" in college/during our college days. Why is it that we THOUGHT that when we went to college we would be exposed to the 'cream of the crop'. How come half of the brothers I know that ARE progressing towards a degree are the main cheats? Most of them figure that they ARE the 'cream of the crop', so they have this Midas complex that you should be feel PRIVILEGED that they chose you (forget the fact that he's messing with Pam, Gina, Shanaynay, etc., etc.)
I could go on and on.
Is it to much too ask for a faithful brother who I can have an intelligent conversation with, and who can understand what I mean when I say that I had a hard day at school/work, etc?
It was very discouraging for me to read that it's not 'just me', and that my friends and I are actually on to something, very discouraging indeed.
