"The definition of what a man is and does has been so corrupted and compromised by a pop culture that will tell you anything to sell everything that now we have a manhood that is defined by cars and clothes and random sex and money made my any means necessary." -Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do by Pearl Cleage

Is this why it's so hard to find a decent man? Ive got men hitting on me that are married or otherwise all wrong for me-age inapropriate etc. I just don't understand. It's very discouraging to see all the failed/unhappy marriages that I do. In the mil your lives are very involved with your co-workers. Work is where you spend most of the time. And overseas the communities are really small. It takes effort to keep your personal life seperate from that of your work. Overseas if you dont speak the local language, your friends are American mil as well. Therefore, your personal life and professional life are intertwined. Forget dating someone. Imagine how the breakup would go in this enviornment? You must choose who you date carefully. When you decide to date someone you make sure that he is worth all of that. This is taking into consideration that you actually find somebody decent. And that is my life....
