In a world where dating feels like a scavenger hunt, one woman has come to a startling realization: the good men are all gone, and the mediocre ones are in short supply. This epiphany hit her during a particularly dull date, where her companion spent the evening discussing his extensive collection of action figures.
As she sat across from him, she couldn’t help but wonder, “Where have all the good men gone?” She reminisced about the days when chivalry was alive, and men could hold a conversation that didn’t revolve around their latest gaming achievements.
Her friends had warned her about the dating scene, but she had brushed off their concerns. “It can’t be that bad,” she thought, naively scrolling through dating apps filled with profiles promising “adventurous spirits” and “great senses of humor.” Little did she know that “great sense of humor” often meant “can quote every line from The Office.”
After a series of lackluster encounters, she compiled a list of the types of men she had met: the “Fitness Guru” who only talked about protein shakes, the “Philosopher” who philosophized about superheroes, and the “Aspiring Influencer” who spent more time taking selfies than engaging in conversation.
“Is this really the best I can do?” she wondered, swiping left on yet another profile featuring a man posing with a fish. “What happened to the good men? The ones who could discuss literature or travel without turning it into a monologue about their gym routine?”
In her quest for answers, she turned to social media, where she found countless memes lamenting the same plight. “Good men are like unicorns,” one post read. “You hear about them, but you never see one.”
Just when she was about to give up, she received a message from a man who seemed different. His profile boasted a love for travel and literature, and he genuinely wanted to get to know her. “Could it be?” she thought, her heart racing with cautious optimism.
As they chatted, she discovered he was well-read and had a knack for humor that didn’t involve sitcom quotes. “Could this be the good man I’ve been searching for?” she wondered, her faith in humanity slowly being restored.
In the end, she realized that while good men may be hard to find and mediocre ones may be in short supply, the search itself was part of the adventure. With a newfound sense of hope, she raised her glass to whatever came next—be it a good man, a mediocre one, or even a unicorn. After all, in the world of dating, anything is possible.
