Does a Single Woman want a Man or a Guy?

What does a perpetually single woman want when it comes to a man?  I believe we want a guy[only for the moment, though].  Because those of the opposite sex that we tend to fascinate over tend to be guys.  Most are not even close to real men.  Real men are married, happily and know how to work out the differences  experienced in marriage.  He believes in true and long lasting love.  Guys just want a bang or if they are really weird they want just someone to be around to control with out the bang. They are no good for us women who have never married.
Now wanting doesn't mean we actually end up having a relationship with these men, because within weeks we are bombarded with the gleaming brilliance of red flags.  They hit us hard and then we become numb to the possible goodness that may be out there.  We lose our common sense judgment of what is truly good for us.  We give up with the notion that all the good men are taken.  We don't settle mind you, we pounce on the beautiful and then retreat as quickly as bear goes into hibernation.

We have a life mind you.  We are single minded and like to brave out into the world independently.  We go to concerts, shopping, movies, dinner, travel alone.  We revel in the delights of being near people even if we are alone.  We people watch.  We look at couples who are wrapped in complete affection in awe and secretly wish that was us.  But then we wonder if that snuggley gooey=eyed couple has had their moments of irrational fighting.  Of course they do, but they are in the moment, affectionate and understanding of one another.  More then I can say for myself.
