don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will never leave you?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will be by your side?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will open a door for you?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will be there when you need him?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that cares about you?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that has his heart in the right place?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will not embarrass you?
don’t you ladies wish for a gentleman that will never harm you any way?
if you ladies are wishing for a gentleman like this then what am I doing wrong?

-Hot_black_angel16-

Women...always wanting more than what they already have...-wink- I should know too...hehe.

You put some thought into this piece, which made it very reflective and personal. But as well, you brought out the human characteristics in this poem: how people are blind to what they already have, yet they hunger for what they don't have. I think we should all learn something from this, that we need to be grateful for what we do have, and not complain and long for something we don't and probably won't ever have. -nods-

What I found throughout the poem is the use of the letter "u" replacing the word "you". It was a little hard for me to read the poem fluidly because although the shortened form for "you" may be easier for you to type, it makes it a little hard for me (I really shouldn't assume that all of you find it hard) to read. It almost hurts the poem, if you know what I mean.

Other than that, I hope to see more from you!

Nice, I enjoy insight into what the other sex want from us men, but as Queth mentioned the replacement of "you" with "u" cheapens the poem, almost like you couldn't be bothered typing the piece. Do it justice and type it, the poem's worth it. Don't take this too seriously, it's just my 2 cents.

This is a great poem and unfortunately it seems like ladies seem to be attracted to the men who are the worst for them yet wonder why they are being treated with so little respect. I know what I'm talking about, I do the same thing. With a heart like yours I know you will find someone special someday.

hi
well if I can lend some of my experience
I can say that as far as I can see
niceguys have always finished last
women always turn away from those few nice guys and they end up sad a nd alone, while the bad boys get to have all the fun.
I can say that I would have to agee with
on that one
even women i go to for advice about girls are always telling me not to treat them well.
I have to say that for the guys it really does turn out better that way.

your peom is very good. I dont really know why women want more than they already have.
my guess is that they are testing their limitations.

I dont know why but I go for the guys that are total opposites from this poem. For some reason they catch my eye but they just break my heart and I go off to another one that was the same as the last.

Well Bart, you seem to have a lot of people liking your poem! Very good.  I agree with the people from above, You should have typed out you and not "u" because it does "lower" the staus of the poem and does make it apear cheap and like you really didn't want to type it out.  Good write.

Maybe you're trying too hard? *shrugs* I found the piece a bit repetative so I stopped reading it then came back.

My guy doesn't open doors or anything like that yet still I love him to bits. He always hurts me but it's all good. He gets hurt back.

Take it easy. Things always turn out right. Thanks for sharing.

AF~I dont know why but I never expected a guy to open a door for me or anything like that...Reminds me of the movies but the first time a guy did (just recently) I was like what are you doing...And I just laughed about it...Like he thought I was that lazy I couldnt open or close the door myself...

Shugar~And girls always want what they cant have...Like another girls man...LOL

Unfortunately, us girls may never be pleased. *sigh* Actually, I liked your poem a lot. It tells the truth.

I give a whole new meaning to the word 'sad.'

Girls don't know what they want. Anyway, you can't generalize girls because it wouldn't be fair to them. Some do, some don't. That's basically the fact of life. Some women like a gentleman, and some like the rough kind of guy. Don't ask me why.....but hey, honestly, I'm not a gentleman or a rough guy. I'm somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

The poem was good, and no worries man. You'll find somebody. Just don't sweat it. I find that the act of looking is what hinders the find. Usually it's the find that does the finding. :smoking:

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
