Just watching a reality TV show..

There is one guy who is being really honest and friendly and such.. and someone says the girl doesn't like him because he's too honest (and therefore sounds like a good 'friend').

Really she prefers the mystery man.. and I began to think.. the mystery man has tons of secrets and things to hide.. meaning the person a girl probably doesn't really want to get involved with.

Interesting.

Mystery equals Dangerous

Or Mystery means I can find out and change if needed. Some women need a project!

It's folly to imagine that women react to their surroundings rationally and with logic. They themselves don't even know what they want... note the common defensive reaction of the female -- "but some of us do prefer the nice guys" -- usually followed by the subject falling for yet another selfish jerk.

Look not upon this state of affairs as a problematic one, however. By observing the feminine species, formulating hypotheses and testing them experimentally, men of science can achieve unbelievable successes. One can truly know the female mind more completely than it knows itself.

Ha, guess you must be swimming in women with that attitude. Women who say one thing and then do the complete opposite are simply immature and foolish. Consider them girls, if you will. Real women will have little to do with dangerous, mysterious men, since there is a great lack of security and much unsureity about their future. That's a big part of what women need in a man, stable, responsible, and safe. Mystery men don't reassure you that they won't take off when the baby arrives.

What did Jack Nicholson say in As Good As It Gets?

"What is a woman? I look at a man and take away all rationality and accountability..."

or something like that.

I don't like migraine induced nose bleeds so I tend not to spend to much time understanding women.

I do fully understand one principal about women, and its simple, just when I think I got a woman all figured out, I always find out I don't know sh*t.

Women are fortunate. they get to fall in love, and the person doesn't leave. not so with men, they always end up with someone they aren't really into. Its the only way i suppose~..evolution and all that..

even from a guy's perspective, politeness and niceness, sensitivity, and a certain willingness to "share" are generally desirable traits in men as well as everyone else...but taken to the point where they become defining characteristics of the individual's personality I suspect they either are symptoms of psychopathic duplicity (a well-concealed basement door with a room full of disease and terrors beneath) or they express some bland emptiness of the soul...I can't imagine either is particularly sexy...

Intelligent and thought provoking... if you're 15 years old. Actually, maybe 13 years old.

From your message, I can draw some rather foolish assumptions.

1. Men never fall in love.
2. Men never leave women, as long as the women are in love with them.
3. Men stay with women they don't love all the time.
4. You know very little about evolution, in that you haven't drawn conclusions based on actual evidence, but based on your own prejudiced views.

Logic is such a precious thing. Use it, or lose it.

It all comes down to being f*ckable. If a guy fails to get himself into that category then he gets J-biffed ("Let's Just Be Friends.")

"You're a really nice nice guy, but..."

If he continues pursuing her after hearing this, then he is wasting his time.

Sounds like a moron to me. Most people on reality shows really are morons. They say stupid things like, "You know, a lot of people are afraid of gays and all, but I'm not one of those people. I treat them like regular people." Ooookaaaayyyy.

Are you female? If so, you just proved me right once again. What chicks think they do not like is exactly what they respond to, and vice versa.
