Today I learned that some girls really do prefer "bad" boys after all. That probably means that "nice guys finish last" is a little more true than I thought.

Today I learned that some girls really do prefer "bad" boys after all. That probably means that "nice guys finish last" is a little more true than I thought.

It's not that they like "bad" boys, it's that they hate total fucking wusses that are afraid to show their sexuality, they want real men not boys. This is not what some women want, most women want this.

If by "bad" boy you were referring to guys that treat women like shit, then yes some women do prefer this. Women that have such low self esteem that they think they do not deserve a good man or to be in a good relationship.

This is an exerpt from a great article on social conditioning.

Conditioning 2:

"Women only like jerks" "nice guys finish last" "girls only go for assholes"

As talked about above also this is bullshit.

This can be perceived by "nice guy culture" as an excuse for a poor love life and justified because they are such catchy sayings.

This is perceived only. An extension of conditioning 1 is all it really is. Many guys who are conditioned that women don't like sex tend to then also not be sexual in nature to appease them.

Ends up in a giant fuckin loop.

"Well I wasn't pushy with her, I wasn't desperate or needy for sex" "she still didn't have sex with me or even pay attention to me" "women must not like sex".

This one can take years to get out of, abandon this shit right here right now.

This is ALL verbally based. Nothing you can be, or project or show sexually is "jerk", nothing you can be or show or project is "needy", "desperate" or "pushy".

Barring :

Ramming your pelvis in to hers upon first meeting (jerk)

Slapping her ass as she walks by (sexist jerk)

Hugging all over her on first sign of interest (needy)

Salivating and rubbing all over her (desperate)

Grabbing her arm and trying to make her get sexual with you (pushy).

Laughing or smiling cause she is emotionally disturbed (insensitive dickhead)

Obvious shit of course.

Other than blatant things like the above you would have to SAY Jerkish or needy things to convey them:

"quit talking about your sickly little brother I am sick of hearing it" as an example of jerk, or desperate things sexually "I know we just met but I haven't had a woman in so long, please sleep with me tonight" as an example of needy.

In other words feel what you are. Feel your desire; don't quell it for worry you'll be thought of one way or another. Your actions and words are how you will be thought of (more on this later, lot more). Women can't read your mind and tell what you are thinking, and even if they could, quelled sexuality would not be a turn on. This leads us to our next example.

I was in fact referring to guys that treat women like shit. I already knew all that other stuff (but thanks anyway for the article excerpt. It was a good read). I was referring to guys who have no respect for anyone else except themself. I learned that some girls are attracted to guys who act criminally, or who won't care about or pay attention to them. Apparently some women see some attraction to that. I was just surprised.

Then again, I can kinda see the attraction in the "dangerous guy" type. It makes sense that a girl would want excitement like that and whatnot. I'm just talking about guys who act like jerks - the "obvious shit" from that quote.

I've learned that lesson a while back.

At first I'd heard the same, that it was just an excuse 'nice guys' liked to hide behind when things weren't going there way. But it's just plain true, some people at some point in there life just need some 'bad medicine'. Maybe they're fucked up in the head or have some emotional issue but it doesn't detract from them actually going for the ones that will treat them like shit.

And let's not even get started on sexual manifestations of masochism or low self-esteem...

Oh, and today I learned that I am unable to stomach lamb's liver for more than 3 hours. Yum.

This past few days I learned how completely and utterly dependant I am on my internet. As the Hydro lackeys were near my house, cutting some tree branches away from power lines, they somehow managed to damage my internet cable which lies in the same vicinity. The earliest the cable company could send a tech to fix it was today, and I've been fighting withdrawal. For the first day, I couldn't sit still, I didn't know what to do. I have to be applying for jobs, but that's all done online. My playstation games and anime helped to tide me over, but it was a shaky few days. I wanted to go to the library, but realized I couldn't look up the location online, or find out online what buses to take.

On the up-side, I spent a lot of time playing piano and discovered quite a few of the bike trails around my house. Still, I'm soooo glad to have my internet back!
