Do women love men who are jerks?

[Trey Strain]

Women talk about how they want good guys. But ignore what they say, and pay attention to what they do.

LMAO!!! That had absolutely nothing to do with you. It's a saying that's been around since the beginning of time. I keep all stuff about you limited to the H&P thread... and I never called your lady a "whore." You got the wrong person.

.................................... oh my bad then, back as you all were

[IonFan]

It's not always all about you IonFan.

ohfortheloveofgod I KNOW THAT WAS MEANT FOR ME

It's not always all about you IonFan. The phrase existed way before you. It is possible for people to make that reference without it having it be related to you.

On the flip-side, turning a whore into a housewife. For the most part (barring traumatic, life-altering events), people don't change, but that's a topic for another thread.

As for why women keep forming a line for the guy, look at how much of our pop culture is dedicated to the Settle Him Down trope, which I'd say is the converse of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. Maybe you'll be the one girl in twenty who'll finally make the perfect partner out the wild stallion. Give him the right kind of love to make him happy and stay. Or some other such bullshit like that.

That made me chuckle. On the flip-side, turning a whore into a housewife. For the most part (barring traumatic, life-altering events), people don't change, but that's a topic for another thread.

Don't ever be a nice guy. Ever. Don't. Just don't.
Be a good guy. Always.

Er..thatīs what I was saying.. hence the finger quotes. "Nice guys" arenīt nice at all. But for clarification person lets refer to decent human beings.

One thing I never understood- I used to work with a guy years ago who was known as a womanizer. He treated women like crap and cheated on them constantly, yet there always seemed to be a line of girls willing to take the chance. If he had a dating (or banging) resume, it would have three pages full of, well, conquests. He wasn't a great-looking guy, didn't have a beach body and wasn't the best educated. One of the girls he slept with said he had a little unit after being scorn. He was supremely confident, though, and being turned down didn't phase him in the slightest. What would make women want this guy?

Well for starters, most women don't treat men the way most men treat women. We're not socialized to do so. And that socialization is really freakin' hard to overcome.

Someone who's confident in themselves, knows themselves, and outwardly likes themselves, is an ego boost. For that person to want to spend time with you? It makes you feel special.

We need a female to voice an opinion.

Thereīs a difference between a "nice guy" (spineless doormat who thinks that by being nice and do things for girls entitles him to sex/affection) and a nice guys whoīs pleasant to be around.

Don't ever be a nice guy. Ever. Don't. Just don't.
Be a good guy. Always.

Nice guys think that pretending to be a decent human will be rewarded with sex from the woman of their choosing.

Good guys are just decent human beings for the sake of being decent human beings. Those are the guys who get laid, because they're not whiny tittybaby manchildren.

NO one wants to be around a manchild, let alone sleep with one, regardless of what Seth Rogan movies may have lead you to believe.

Be confident with yourself. Give a crap about yourself. Or at least fake it until you make it in that regard. It's no woman/man/partner's job to provide you with self respect.

Women like good guys, but only after they've served as baby mamas to three different jerks who don't pay them any child support.

Wow, I had no idea that was the experience of the majority of women. Guess I'm just ignorant.

[IonFan]

EDIT: you also have an amazing ability to reply to a post and completely avoid the point.

thanks, i do try

Women like good guys, but only after they've served as baby mamas to three different jerks who don't pay them any child support. Then suddenly they start trying to pull the good guys out of the friend zone.

[Space Cop]

please we all know that's true, so much so they made a song about it

I wear three-piece suits pretty often. Hasn't really helped me. Then again, I do get comments from women, they're just not in my key demographic let's say.

EDIT: you also have an amazing ability to reply to a post and completely avoid the point.
Let me put it this way: your reason is as spurious as if you said "Women reject me. I have hair. Therefore women must prefer bald guys."
