Now, this is something that has been on my mind lately... I bet this question has been asked many times, but I still have to ask again - what is it about nice, normal guys that makes them totally unattractive to girls? Why do girls choose some kind of jerks over and over again?  Angry

Can you DO THIS in Seattle?!?!?!  Best place EVER!!!!

Yes. It's Seattle. Of COURSE we can do this. Hell, last time Coani and I went there, you could rent the FS FN2000. A full-auto with three hundred rounds ain't cheap, though. You CAN rent a full-auto. 9MM, .223, whatever. AK-47, AR-15.

The funniest part of the whole thing is that when we were there, we saw a hot pink .25 handgun next to a light blue one. And some schmucko decided to actually make some smarmy comment about her being able to use the thing better than, oh, say the 9MM she qualified with.

The funniest part? Saying, "Yeah, I don't think so. The awesome thing is, she's an awesome shot with the carbine, and good on the nine, but she can still kill me with her pinky."

One other thing: hypocrisy is the first and foremost component of the "Nice Guy". If "nice guys" are infuriated by the concept of any other guy gettin' with their girlfriend, current or former...well. Problem.

Jealousy, problem. Hypocrisy, problem.

And let's be real specific, kiddos, if a woman suddenly senses that you are a ragin jealous psycho, she's going to either be clingy to you like a madman or run as far as she can from your pre-stalker Ted Bundyish ass.

To All The Guys Who Look Past The Nice Girls

I'm sorry that I opened up to you,
And told you that I [really] liked you.

I'm sorry that my body's not [perfect] enough,
To 'satisfy' your wants.

I'm sorry that I'm not 'hot'enough,
To be [your girl].

I'm sorry that I'm actually nice,
And [not a bitch].

I'm sorry I don't have a [huge bank account]
To buy you expensive things

I'm sorry I like to spend quality nights at home
[Cuddling with you, instead of goin out].

I'm sorry that I am always the one you need to talk to,
But never [good enough] to date

I'm sorry that I am there to [comfort] you,
When you and your new girl got in a fight.

I'm sorry If I start not being there, and being used as a [door mat],
Only to be thrown to the side when a [hotter] girl catches your eye.

I'm sorry If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call,
To listen to you [wine] about how badly girls treat you.

I'm sorry that you can't realize,
I've been [the one all along].

I'm sorry If you read this, and [don't even care].

And last...

I'm sorry that I wasn't what you were looking for.
I'm sorry that I couldn't give you what you thought you deserved.
I'm sorry that you broke my heart.
I'm sorry that I gave you the chance to break my heart again.

But mostly...

I'm sorry that I don't hate you.

Because you know damn well that I should.

Did not see that coming.

I dunno, that seems completely reasonable?

That whole article basically boils down to a woman stating "Don't be a dick and treat me with respect", whereas when I hear the abbreviation SNAG, that's not the only association that comes to mind.

I mean, for all my sexist rantings, Id do almost all of this, apart from the PMS thing, possibly. Personally, Im sick and tired of being victimised as a result of female mood swings. I don't give a shit if it's PMS or not, to be honest: if you're in a foul mood, you can talk to me and I will do anything in my power to help make you feel better, including giving you space, making myself scarce, or otherwise laying off and leaving you the hell alone, but I have NOT been put on planet Earth just so you have someone to vent your frustrations on when you're feeling crappy for whatever reason. Taking your bad mood out on other people is a shitty thing to do, for anyone, to anyone. Most women don't seem to get that, as the propaganda surronding PMS states that it's ok to act like a psychotic asshole, because PMS is a hall pass for all kinds of atrocious behaviour. Fuck that noise.

The Sociopathic Queen Of Evil

I'm a sociopathic asshole without the PMS.  When I have PMS, it's worse.

But I actually don't like to take my bad moods out on people.  My dad did that, and still does, and it's annoying.  If I'm in a bad mood, I try to shut myself away.

Yeahhh... PMS is not an acceptable reason to act like a total bitch. When I'm PMSing, the problem is that I don't WANT to control myself, I lack my usual inhibitions that cause me to be caring of people's feelings when communicating my own feelings.

That's what Will Power is for. And if I -do- fail at will power, I'm sure as hell obligated to apologize for being a bitch; I think explaining the circumstances is acceptable in the context of apology and by way of garnering understanding for what the hell happened, but just exclaiming 'oh, I was on PMS, ha ha' is NOT a reasonable or decent way of handling things.

I make shiny things, you need them.

I don't think placing women on pedestals, which I strongly interpret the article to encourage, is the same as seeing the genders as equal.

I put a woman on a pedestal once. She was frozen in carbonite.

Yeah, that's exactly my point, Nox.

Frankly, in my entire life I've had one friend, male or female, who consistently did all ten points the author has there.  My friend was always there for me when I needed him and was always happy to see me.  He cheered me up when I was down, hung out with me when I was up, and never looked at me as anything other than the best friend he knew I was.  He was courteous and generous and giving and loyal in a way that I've never been able to find again.  I was absolutely devastated when he died of cancer.

(click to show/hide)

I consider myself a pretty good person.  There's no way I meet even half of those demands on a consistent basis.  It's not because I don't care about and love my friends and family.  It's because I'm a human being and sometimes I have to take care of myself, too.  Sometimes I gotta put me first.  Sometimes I don't agree with your opinion and I'm not apologizing because of that.  Sometimes I speak before I think.  Sometimes I don't understand what other people mean.  Sometimes I misunderstand what other people mean.  None of these are my fault.  None of these are even faults.  It's part of the human condition.

*gasp* I would NEVER look up your skirt. I wouldn't need to.
Because, let's face it, as soon as any woman gets within five meters of me, the clothes just start flyin' off. Buttons popping off in all directions. You have to be careful. A bystander almost lost an eye once from the zipper-shrapnel. No lie.
