"There are plenty of good men out there. It's just that they're not your type."

And yes, it is a slam against people who constantly whine about trying to find a good person but typically fall for the wrong kind of guy or even a troublemaker. One of my personal best friends was enamored with a man for the last two years, and for a good chunk of that relationship, he was in jail because he was unable to pay bail, and she had to scrape up whatever she could to pay her share and his share of the rent while he was in. She busted him fooling around ... with her so-called best friend. We all warned her, but she wouldn't have any of that talk. You can't help somebody who doesn't want to be helped.
