there are a few things that I have found disturbing with girls ever since high school and I found an article on the matter that pretty much makes you think

The Nice Guy Gets the Shaft

It’s damn frustrating that girls always seem to go for the Asshole. The Asshole knows how the game is played though, all he wants is sex, but he pretends to only want to be with the Girl. The Asshole will act nice, friendly, and even listen to the Girl… until they get into what they’re after. The girl thinks they are in love with the Asshole, however when they realize what a jerk the he really is, they pretend the Asshole is actually nice inside. The girl then tries to change the Asshole into a nice guy, but the Asshole will always be a jerk. She gets upset and goes to The Nice Guy to complain about the Asshole. But she claims to love the Asshole … now this is where the theory begins. She doesn’t want to look like she is easy so she wont dump the Asshole right away; instead she will stay with the Asshole. Girls are idiots. They don’t realize that The Nice Guy has been there all along. He never had to pretend to be a good guy to get girls because he is naturally like that. However, girls don’t see it for some reason or another. They look at The Nice Guy as a friend, a trusted companion to whom they can tell their sad story to about the Asshole, their boyfriend.

The Nice Guy isn’t that naïve. Ok, perhaps he does want something a bit more physical, but sex is a pretty strong driving force for any male. The thing is, The Nice Guy also wants to be with the Girl and spend time with her. The main problem seems to be that since he is a good guy he keeps listening. Since girls get attached to things that pay attention to them, they think of the nice guy only as a friend, just a friend. They don’t say, “Oh he’s hot” or “I wouldn’t mind going out on a date with him” about The Nice Guy, they just want the emotional support. When the Girl gets emotional support from The Nice Guy, they don’t need it from the Asshole. The Nice guy gets the shit end of the stick while the Asshole gets the Girl. You start to wonder if being The Nice Guy is really the route to take to get the Girl.

Perhaps another reason why girls fall for the Asshole is because assholes ignore the Girl they are with. The women wonder, “Why isn’t he paying attention to me?” so they explore why. They poke and prod and get closer to the Asshole. They start to get easier with each attempt to get closer. The Asshole finally says, “I’ve let this beauty dangle long enough.” It is then he puts on his charade and the Girl feels like she has won him … even thought all she has won is the Asshole. Once you have gone down the path as The Nice Guy or a “listener” you can’t turn back. The girl will always go after the Asshole because there will always be The Nice Guy there to listen. Once you realize that you are a “listener” you cant do anything about it; just pack up and close shop. There is no way you will get the Girl. Ever. There isn’t and never will be a situation where The Nice Guy will get the girl he has a crush on. It just doesn’t work like that. The girl wont “come to her senses” and realize what an asshole her boyfriend is like in the movies … instead she will just go after another asshole, and unless you stop being The Nice Guy, she will never go after you. Women complain that there are no nice guys in the world. Right. They are obviously not looking hard enough because there are nice guys all over the place. Girls aren’t looking for nice guys; they say they are but they’re not. They are looking for the perfect Asshole, but there is no such thing as a perfect Asshole.

All in all, the nice guy gets the shaft. To all the Girls out there with boyfriends that don’t treat you with respect, that don’t listen to you, and that don’t care about you, think about this; look next to you. The guy that has been standing next to you the whole time is the guy you have been looking for. He is what you want your Asshole to be like. He knows more about you than you know about yourself… because he has listened to it all.

Mack's thoughts:
Now, I do have a girlfriend who I am very much happy with. I just thought about this topic the other day when I overheard a conversation at a recent game between one of my female players and a male player. It made me think back when I was the listener to the "girl"'s problems between her and her asshole boyfriend. We never got together, which I can say that I'm glad we didn't. But the fact remained that even though the girl was being treated like shit, she did not want to leave the asshole. It's just mind boggling. I know that pretty much of this crap is high schoolish shit, but the truth is, this keeps on going even after High School.
