I wish it wasn't true but it is. I've seen it happen over and over again. If there is a jerk nearby you can bet there are women nearby that want to get to know him better, but if there is a perfect gentleman in the room you can bet he won't even be noticed by most women. So why is that? Any ideas?? :p

..Bueller?

By jerk I mean someone who is either arrogant, rude, conceited, prideful, abusive, manipulative, inconsiderate, selfish or any combination thereof.

The "jerks" know the dating game. See from my experience its not that men are jerks from the get-go. I have seen very nice boys grow up to be a "jerk".

The guys perspective. On men.

These guys are usually more attractive then the nice guys. They notice from a early age they have a leg up on everyone else. Everyone thinks they are cute and adorable. And with the old spider man motto with power comes irresponsibility!

So with this power the start to test it just like all men do. If a 16 year old boy is given a brand new Lamborghini Adventedor yah he might drive speed limit for a day, But he will begin to test how fast the car really is. Until he knows his limits, usually going above his limits and ending up pulled over or in the hospital.

The boys begin to start to test how they can get away with certain things. They begin with baby steps and grow their knowledge. See these men have realized it is much easier for them to treat a women with not respect, like a dog if you will, then to treat them as gold. It is easier to not pay attention to their emotional feelings then to listen. And everyone knows its true, it is easier to tell your friend rub some dirt in it, then to listen to a hour long story and then give a 30 minute explanation...


Mans perspective on why women Go out with them and stay with them

So everyone thinks these women want to be degraded and mistreated...???

That is total bogus... These women find a cute looking man who is extremely flirty and fun to be around. See these men are not beginners are the dating game. They know how to keep a woman's interest, what to say, and how to say it... They know the in's and out's of every detail there is about a new relationship...

They are easier to get to know and funner to get to know,

No one likes going on a date and saying, whats your favorite color... Whats your last name... What do you do for a living...

These men instead go out on a date and bring up topics in funny our hilarious manners. They keep the girl laughing and feeling like they are talking to a best friend. Not the dreaded interview dating.

So these women end up thinking this man is funny, charming, nice, and GOOD LOOKING! They begin to become attached and around this point the man begins to care less... The girl will strive to bring the relationship out of the waters and tries to keep the "Romance" alive... The more she tries the more the guy see's this and cares less... its a repeating cycle...

(PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!!!!! NOT SAYING ANYONE IS THIS!)

These women when they become attached have some type of man missing from their lives, they usually find this "Jerk" fills the void they have in them.



So that's the way I see it... I am not a ladies man, I do not get women hand over fist... But, this is what I have noticed... The "Nice" guys are usually nice because they have not been tainted by their own EGO'S!

Wow T_Laurich, that is very interesting indeed. I never thought about how these guys got that way. Your explanation does seem to make sense. I always knew that these guys didn't value women much because they can just find another one if the one they're with doesn't make them happy but I never gave much thought as to how they got that way.

Those behaviors make you more visible. Women dress to be more visible, but men are not supposed to. The more visible people get the most responses. If a woman wishes to find the other kind of man, she should simply start looking for the expressions of behavior she wants, and express her interest to those kind of men.

What I don't understand is the appeal of thugs. I live in an area that can be justly described as "ghetto". I don't make gobs of money so I rent what I can afford and my apartment is in a low income area. I see all these hoodlums still living at home with their parents or grandparents. They've got no jobs. They curse every other word and seem barely literate. They openly brag about being criminals. And they treat their girlfriends so disrespectfully. Yet, every young woman near me wants a "thug".
Meanwhile the guys who go to school and work for a living. Guys who have their own apartments and homes, no matter how shabby. Guys who don't use profanity and behave in an intelligent manner...well, they don't want a thing to do with them. That just goes right over my head.

I would say a girl who would put up with that is someone who doesn't think very much of herself. I dated jerks when I was in my twenties. They weren't cute either. I had low self esteem and no love for myself. Once my relationship with God was there again and I worked on my life I met the person God had intended for me.

God bless!

Just thinking outside of the box...

But I know myself being a self proclaimed nice guy, I do not chase women, and constantly look to hook up or date...

I kinda just let the cards fall were they may and play off the cards I am dealt...


These men constantly look to hook up with women. They do not have a career to look forward too, they usually don't have a strong faith... So these men, all they have to do is look forward to getting women...


If a nice guy being the nice guy he is gets 1 out of every 2 women he asks out to say yes... but only asks out 1 girl a year... that means it takes him 2 years to find a girl...

But if a "thug" being you know scum gets 1 out of every 40 women he asks out to say yes... But asks out 20 women a week... That means 2 weeks and he has a new girl...


It is just imo, a numbers game...

Likewise if the Thug gets a girl every 2 weeks and you get one every 2 years...

The thug will have 48 girl friends by the time you get one... He has had a lot more opportunities to snag a significant other and or improve his game... Giving the impression women like Bad Boys...

Even tho only 1 girl has said no to you and 1872 have said no to the thug...

its what they know. often their "dad" is a thug and they feel insecure and not worthy of someone who is not.

the girls who aren't like that go to college and move away from the ghetto.

So that's why women have never been interested in me.

Oh well I'm over it.

women can be that way too. to them dating is a "game" : they are interested until they know for sure they have the guy and then they look for their next conquest.

I've watched them play it and sometimes they get played by jerks.

The only problem with that concept is that once any guy starts asking a lot of women out word gets around quickly that he is just asking every girl out and that will make all the women lose interest in him.

But everyone's interest is different...

I have heard girls judge an others boy friend and say, Oh he is the type of boy that you only date to find out what it is like... It won't last long...

not all women. some women don't care. but probably all the ones you would want to date. don't know why guys would be bitter over it.

sometimes girls need to recognize that the guy is a jerk to appreciate one who is NOT.

Most girls I know would look to date someone who resembles JESUS, not jerks

but there are some couples I've seen who are just using each other to get what they want: money, jewelry, sex, housing, etc. more of a business arrangement then a godly marriage/relationship. eventually one of them leaves when someone "better" comes along.
