Poll: Why hello, LADIES...

[ElephantGuts]

Heh the last option is funny. And it's my opinion that a lot of guys think being an asshole is good because they're used to High School, because if I'm not mistaken teenage girls do tend to like guys who are dicks (This is currently a problem for me since it's hard for me to be a dick and maybe this isn't true or atleast can't be true for all girls and I don't know what to do). Anyway, the problem is when guys are too stupid to realize that they should stop acting like dicks to get women and mature a little.

EDIT: So, basically this.

Maybe it's because all the good looking girls almost unanimously fancy the 'bad boy' around teenagehood. Guys then learn that being the bad boy gets hot girls. Since men supposedly never grow up, this could stay with them into adulthood.

So my ideas aren't crazy! Or, atleast, some other people are crazy with me.

But I don't know any teenage girls that dig that! They're all into the sweethearts.

Have you ever thought of getting a larger testgroup? Not a biased one?

I really don't understand why guys keep on thinking they need to be meaner to get the ladies. Every girl and woman I know (with one exception, admittedly*) is into/is dating/is married to a really nice guy. I feel like the whole 'be mean, keep 'em keen' thing is a prank that went too far. I would never be interested in a guy who intentionally made me unhappy. What's the point?

There's a little misnomer with 'nice guys' and 'kind guys'.

I can pretty much guarantee that girls don't like nice guys at all. Nice guys are wimps, appear more stalkerish/creepy, and fail 90% of the time. 'kind' guys, however, are confident, treat girls nicely, etc. etc.

This is why the 'nice guys finish last thing' goes around. Because it's completely true.

The question I pose is: you say you would never date a 'mean to keep em' kind of guy. But I practically guarantee you would choose a 'mean to keep em' guy who has a lot of confidence, over a 'nice to the point of being a wimp', which is actually most 'nice guys'.

I'm not necessarily arguing, I'm just clarifying that there are misconceptions goin 'round. And also, this post pretty much explains your OP. Feel free to ask me further questions, if something is still unclear (I've studied this general topic for a while now, so)

Apparently I fail and reading comprehension skills. My eyes must have also been malfunctioning, since I couldn't see the "see poll results" option.

I blame man sickness.

Anyway, I think my problem is my nervousness around females that I find attractive causes me to appear to be a "nice guy." Those who know me, of course (including women that I don't find attractive), know that I'm not really all that "nice." I'm just... You know... An ordinary guy. Sometimes I'm a shouty jerk, sometimes I'm lazy, sometimes I'm helpful, etc. So that's what I have to work on-being more genuine in front of strangers and attractive girls. I've been practicing at my college classes and with my sister's friends, though.

And hey, I think age helps with this kind of thing. I'm a lot more confident than I was, and nothing has really changed other than my age in the last several years. I'll freely admit that my "nice" behavior isn't really me being "nice"-it's me being insincere, like the OP says. I also agree that a lot of "nice" guys need to just start being more apathetic around women. Be yourself! If you feel like saying something, say it!

...That's all I can really contribute to this topic. Sorry for my egocentric ranting. Actually, I'm not really sorry! That was me being insincere!

Yes, I'm working through it.
