Hi all, I just found this

http://www.cracked.com/article_18804_th ... women.html

I know, taking advice off not only the Internet but also a humor site can often be ill-advised, but I think that this makes a few valid points to consider.

Enjoy!

makes one feel a little less odd when you see what NT's think doesn't it? :roll: 8O

That article wrote:
You don't even have to stop being a misogynist to recognize girls evaluate men in more than one dimension. Even a shallow girl looks for more than one thing. What about looks? Money? Fame? Penis size? Any of those could be higher on the checklist than "nice/jerk." And every girl is different.


This needs to be posted on every single "why do girls like jerks?" and "why don't girls like nice guys?" threads on this forum! :P

In fact, no, STICKY THIS THREAD AT THE TOP OF L&D. Just do that and it won't even be needed any more! :lol:

That, and it's also reassuring to be reminded that it isn't just us that have relationship woes

There are a lot of fairly sad, desperate girls out there, a situation I am no stranger to. Lonely, no-luck girls spend plenty of time obsessing over what it will take to get a guy, and often throw aside their dignity in a shameless and often fruitless attempt to pursue one.


I guess the whole "you're only looking for the hot ones" applies in both directions then... If these women were that desperate for a boyfriend, you would think that I'd get at least one approach a month. But I've only had one woman show any actual interest in me

What are you talking about? Those questions are regularly asked here by Aspies.

The explanation that the article gives is too long and based too much on fact. I've always liked this version better:

Q: Why don't girls like nice guys?
A: They do. They just don't like you.

Well,yes. Asking the silly and pointless question "why do girls like jerks?" is something that AS and NT men have in common.


I loved the article. It was pretty funny.

:roll:

I'm a girl and fairly attractive... and I've only been approached 3x in my life. So 1x a month? Ha.

And shockingly enough... there are a lot of girls out there who believe THEY have to be approached because thats what society deems, and then those who don't believe that, still are too shy to...

But yes, both genders generally try going for the prize :roll: most attractive first then work their way down... ("generally," not everyone does this, and it is understandable to a degree... first thing ppl notice is looks, you don't know the persons personality until AFTER you know them, and often don't get the chance to know someone that well initially, so go for the hotties and hope... only the non-hotties after getting to know them and realize they're good ppl)
