Nice Guys and Love, what's your take on the issue

Post Reply New Topic

i will from my own observations will say that it is easyer for a "jerk" to be a hit with the ladies than it is for a "nice guy"

i hav actualy played both rolls in a sort of experiment in high school

and the reason is simply two things

1. illusions of confidence
beinging polite to people in many cases makes u look like ur less confident than ur ruder counterparts y becuz politeness exposes u emotionaly and when exposed most men act "shy" while if ur openly saying u dont like this person or this girl is unattractive ur not going to be shy about it

it is for alot of ppl to easy to be rude becuz rudeness doesnt leave u exposed and there for u having nothing to be shy about...this creates an illusions of confidence

2. the same old same old pattern
the same thing gets boreing time after time after time....but we also start paying less attention to things or actions when they happen over and over again, so if ur a jerk and ur constantly saying offensive things to ur gf but every once in a while u take her out on a date or hold the door open for her, she will remember that one action over all the meanness that u give her, y becuz it stoud out and things that stand out hav more meaning and arnt boreing and becuz it was a "nice guy" act the jerk has just won brownie points

now ur the "nice guy" allways telling how pretty a girl looks, allways holding the door open for her, but then u hav a bad day and u say something silently offensive to her, this stands out and there for makes u seem like the worst person in the world, or lets say u never offensive things to her and ur nice always and always and always
with u being nice always u now hav set the bar pretty high for urself and thus u become boreing

now im just a guy, and im not proud of walking on the "jerk" side of Manhood, and hav since stopped, but what i had learned is that the biggest problem "nice guys" hav is they make a girl there entire world devoting to much time on her, girls want to join ur world not become it

I theoretically like the nice guys, but am always physically attracted to the mean, overconfident, jerks. Not sure why, I really wish I were not so. I have a feeling that it will not end well...

I might have figured it otu. I think I like the overly confident type because they are more insistent. I am very shy kid, so I always run away from people and will do anything to avoid seeing them. Particularly when I like them.

So I guess its the only the overly confident types that will literally chase you. They just will not believe that you are not interested in them unless you are gay or married or blind. And not even then.

And being the shy insecure kiddo that I am, whenever any guy seems to show interest in me (and this usually will need to be very obvious for me to notice, as in chasing.) I will then become obsessed with them and start doing all types of stupid things for them.
Maybe that is why there are so many nice shy girls with mean bastards...
Or maybe I am just kinda tipsy and should not do any soul searching in this state of mind... Red wine be gonee!

@segan
I can sort-of sympathize with having soft spot for the rude boys because I have a soft spot for rude gals.
I develop crushes too easily with girls who mock or insult me. The ones I asked rejected my advances.
The problem is that unlike the rude boys, the rude gals weren't doing it to pursue affection.
They just saw me as a cute little clown for their amusement. (If you saw me back then you'd understand.)
My point being, I sympathize with loving those who try to hurt you.
Sometimes we can't control our emotions. Cupid is such a dick!
