Very Happy OK...............As a REFORMED bad boy I will add mt two cents hehe

I am still friends with most of the exc-hicies lol SO one ex who is super nice, smart etc and maybe I gave the run around to a long time ago is now one of my best friends! even went to her wedding lol anyway I asked her this question once............why? Her answer I think was logical
and ended that question for me.

So here goes

Me:
so we,ve been friends for ages and I have never really been nice or what anyone would call BF material etc. Yet, dating has never been a issue............. if i want a girl I chase her.........mom, sister, best friend etc..........and well it always works they always fall.........SO whats the deal!


Her: the truth is this..........part bad 80 TV and movies .........but its like this guy... buy stuff...tell me over and over and over how great, wonderful sexy I am etc. the good guy sits with you when your sick, lets you pick the movies all the nice stuff.............OK we (Females) like that yes but it is easy....not alot of meaning behind it........we think well how many poeple over there life have the done the same things for....

Me: yeah so what? you cant say that I am going to do any of that or even stay stable.............

Her: you mean.........your other girlfriends, drunkin 3am calls, fighting, passing out in my parents bed, breaking things, driving you around, buying you stuff, giving you money for the bar, having to always watch my friends (girls) when your around etc.

me: lol yeah something like that... Embarassed (READ REFORMED) lol

Her: simple Very Happy we (females) want sexy just like you............and yes it pissed me off but when we are YOUNG...........knowing that all the girls want what i have........is sexy. AND here is the big one.............When you do something rare!............ kind, loving, caring....it's big It mean something....you carrying me to the doc when i broke my leg or that one flower....or well i know i seemed mad...But, that guy who grabbed my butt and you well.........you remeber Very Happy So .........one flower from you was better than 100 from the nice guy......well cuz he gave me 100 lol
BUT as we mature well the stable guy we marry............you we just look at as a wild ride


OK this was our IM lol..............edited a bit lol well ya just dont need to know

but what i think is for girls............it's Vanity
and for us cats it's looks


But as I said reformed.............so not as much fun anymore Shocked

I wonder if the OP is really wondering why he as a nice guy isn't getting a woman around his arm so to speak. That is probably what he means and that if some of the girls who complained were with him they wouldn't have had the horror stories they recounted to him. The bad boys exude confidence are not boring. So basically, you can't go from being a nice guy to an as*hol* really, so you have to make sure you aren't boring to the women. Also, sometimes some of us guys might find certain nice girls not interesting when they would probably make great, loyal, loving girlfriends. We often want the adrenaline rush especially these days.

Well, I think it's a false dichotomy. The real dividing line is men who project confidence and men who don't. I think it's a truism that, on average, badboys/a-holes project more confidence -- even if it's false or misplaced -- than nice guys, who are more inclined to have rational doubts, because they are more likely to be thinking, emotionally mature, self-aware human beings.

And the thing is, thinking, emotionally mature and self-aware human beings tend to find each other. This leads the bimbos and badboys to try to come up with theories as to why they can't find anyone they could consider to be "quality," because the sad truth is, they wouldn't know quality if it stood naked in front of them.

Of course, this is all predicated on the assumption that the OP was talking about actual relationships, not just "hook ups." Because the rules are completely different, and that causes much confusion in people who look at hook-ups as potential marriage material. (e.g., the fat, pimply guy/girl, who can't understand why s/he can't bed the hottest prospect in the room, which leads to sadly pathetic anguish along the lines of, "If only s/he knew what a sterling person I am on the inside, s/he'd take me home and **** me like a wh*re.")

Hook-ups are about sex, and that kind of sex is about what gets you hard/wet in the space of the hour or two before you boink. Nothing wrong with that, but thinking that such couplings will lead to anything serious is like trying to finance your retirement by means of winning the lottery.

Relationships are also about what gets you hard/wet, but what emotionally mature people find is that a man/woman who can't get you hard/wet in an hour may indeed, in a week/month/year, do the trick far more effectively than the hour's hook-up. And also that the guy/girl who made you hard/wet in the first hour, after a week/month/year, more often than not ends up leaving you limp as a cooked noodle, or dry as an uncooked one, as the case may be.

So I suppose my message is, Children, please work out your daddy and mommy issues before you start in seriously on the task of finding a mate. By then you'll have the real confidence, not its sham, to attract people who have real confidence, not its sham, and to be able to tell the difference between the two.

Man, when I am nice, I usually have to hang out alone, but when I get tough, man, I get all the way to third base!

I'm a nice guy. I'm average looking. I don't have women throwing themselves at me, I'm not the first guy a woman notices in a bar, I'm probably the last, but I've never had a problem finding a beautiful, intelligent, normal GF. I never had a GF complain her time with me was boring, however. Of course women who date me assume I'm the nice restaurant, symphony, art gallery, good book type of guy and I turn out to be exactly that. Know your constituency. I know for a fact I have no chance with a Hooters waitress.

Yes, too many men confuse boring with nice. Or think women understand the secret code "I'm offering you friendship and my help because that means I want to seduce you with it" and they're entirely surprised and become oddly not nice when a woman takes it at face value.

When you listen to women speak about a boyfriend they like, they don't go on at length how much of a jerk he is and how much they love it. They talk about the sweet things he does. They talk about the interesting things he does. It's a clue.

There are a lot of very nice, fat girls out there who would love a nice, boring guy. Go for it if you have a problem.

And if you are not boring, it just gets better.

Yeah, then why are they on birth control? Insist on condoms?

Jerks can screw better. It's all about the beast with two backs.


It's not all about alpha males. Bad women are sexy too!

"Treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen" works both ways.

Most people have intelligence to override their wet/ hard impulses. Playas only thrive in an alcahol-soaked environment; but in the normal everyday world they just appear ridiculous and objectionable.

There's something sort of appealing and romantic about reforming the "bad boy." It's a challenge to turn a walking, talking chunk of testosterone and turning him into true boyfriend material. Granted, it usually ends in disaster, but it's fun while it lasts.

But what most girls really truly want is the guy who has the bad boy image without the bad boy behavior. The bad boy with the creamy nougat center.

Women don't. Girls do.


Absolutely. They're ones who have missed some key stages of emotional development.

Women go for bad men.

Could the reasoning be circular? What's the difference, in this context, between a woman and a girl? Well, you know, whether they go for bad "boys"...

Why does anybody have a "type?"

The difference is a healthy self esteem that kicks in and allows her to recognize she deserves better than to be treated like crap--over and over and over again. And stops making up excuses to herself for his bad behaviour.

I know of many nice guys who get ass all the time. Thing is, they're good looking. Now, the not so good looking nice guys. They are the ones who complain.

Girls are just as skin deep as we are. That's a fact.
