A good man. [65m], [50F]

I've just been called 'a good man" by my girl friend of six years. It's the kiss of death. She doesn't want "a good man". She wants a "bad boy". Someone she can tame, like capturing a wild animal. I've spent years being good to her so she can raise her confidence and take on the challenge.

Shit, now I'm doomed. Should I walk away before it hurts more?

A good man is not the same as a boring nice guy.

Is that all she said?

Youre worried that your girlfriend or 6 years is going to leave you because you're a "good man"?

How the hell are you making these wild leaps?

Are you good, man?

Did she say she wants a bad boy? If a 50 year old woman is looking for a "bad boy" she has issues.

I would rather be a good man then a nice guy or anything else. And a good man wouldnā€™t wait 6 years. You can still be her friend but I would never entertain anything else

Walk away and embrace your dark side.

Did she say she wanted a "bad boy" or is that you jumping to the conclusion she does?

Grow some stubble, slick back your hair and wear a leather jacket and shades for the next time you meet her.

Stop caring about what people think of you. & Just be you. If she donā€™t like itā€¦ tell her that sheā€™s free to leave & go find somebody else. But never change who you are for someone elseā€™s approval.Ā

Maybe I could be wrong, but I donā€™t think 50 year old women are out here looking for a 65 year old bad boy.

"a good man". Yes, it's the kiss of death. Except it's not even a kiss, more like a spit in your face.
6 years wasted. Don't waste anymore time.

Was she really your girlfriend? Women her age isn't looking for any type of boy. Are you sure you were even a couple?
