Subpar Men

So the boy drama continues, both my own and the drama of friends. And this is what occured to me the other day. How is it possible that I have as many good girlfriends as I do (D, Leah, Jen, Marsha, Tweet and Devin (male but is going into girlfriend category), plus the social friends)? Seriously I find myself statistically luckly to have found each of them. Here's the thing..... Why do I slum it with substandard guys. I'm used to high quality platonic friends and yet right now I'm putting up with a guy who "sleeps" through the better percentage of our dates. D is feeling bad that she can't help her last non-commital, wishy-washy boyfriend recover more gracefully from their breakup. Leah is waiting for a guy to move over the friend hump (which I would say is her own delusion except for that he keeps planning their future marriage, home and children). I would not put up with half the shit from a platonic friend that I put up with from a guy. So why do I?
