According to this scripture, they may not exist. What say you?
Proverbs - Chapter 20:6
6. Many a man proclaims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?

I'm NOT athiest by now means but you have to think about that verse in context. Does man include woman? What exactly is man being faithful to? Could it be his love of God? There are a lot of ways to take that.

^^ This is definitely true. But, assuming the scripture meant that a man who is faithful to a woman is hard to find, I think that this is definitely true. But there are good men out there who can withstand temptation - IF and ONLY IF they really love their women, and if they do it with God's help/a prayerful mindset. Standing on your own strength isn't going to get you anywhere.

I think it is important to have "context" when reading these scriptures. Verses and passages rely heavily on the context in which they are given for correct interpretation. Pulling out one verse, and having it stand alone as some "proof text," can be very misleading. This is how so many false doctrines in the church are manufactured which ultimately leads to generations of people being deceived.
