To all the women complaining about a lack of nice guys,

You are the reason nice guys no longer exist. You push them away, you "friend zone" them, you ignore them, and turn around and get your brains fucked out by a "bad boy" who treats you like dirt... again, and again, and again. So, the nice guy does what he must to get a girl - become that bad guy.

That old line about don't hate the player, hate the game? Well, yeah, you set up the game, so hate yourselves.

:awe:

So she has no taste in men; something many women have a problem with.

I used to get aggravated; now I just find it hilarious when a woman complains about a lack of nice guys.

She has had the opportunity to meet nice men too. My wife fixed her up with a nice guy and they went out once and her friend dropped it there due to "no spark." She was trying online dating and was once reading us a profile of a guy who responded. He sounded nice and decent, but she complained because he was a "sales person." We were like "Uh, you do know that sales people in many fields are the ones that make the big bucks, right?" Heck, if I had the personality for it, I would've moved into sales long ago! Anyway, she refused to meet him because of his job. Keep in mind that her job is a bookstore manager at a small liberal arts college -- it isn't as if she is wheeling from operating room to operating room conducting brain surgery every day.

^^ Did your GF breakup with you?

He is right to some extent. I used to be the nice guy. Sure, I'd get action but inevitably it was because I was more of a "plan B" or "plan C" until they found someone else.

I finally wised up and started not giving a shit and things got better for me.

Yep, she still hasn't outgrown wanting the "bad boy". Nice is boring. Until after she gets married and pops out a couple kids.

Oh hell, I was plan never-gonna-happen. I was quite the fool in high school.

Then she'll be sitting in a run-down house, wondering how she's going to pay the bills, with a couple screaming kids, while her bad boy husband is off getting drunk and screwing some slut down at the local bar after a long day mopping floors.

I could write volumes about my wife's friend. In fact, I have mentioned her many times here as an example of what NOT to do. She is also the one that got an MBA and basically refused much of her tuition reimbursement. To top it off, she got it from a private school rather than IU in Indy, which was much cheaper and has a ranked program. So now, she has like $75K in student loans, makes maybe $40K, and can't find another job. She told a mutual friend last year that she was only targeting jobs "at $70K or more." LOL!

I even forwarded her two marketing jobs we had open here after she begged her entire group of friends in an email (twice) to help her find a new job. For a person in marketing, working where I work is a DREAM job -- your networking possibilities are endless and you get to work with giants in various industries. Play your cards right, and you could make big bank once you put in a few years and make some contacts.

Guess what? She claimed she applied but the "system didn't work." Bullshit. The system is nearly idiot proof. So, she is either REALLY dumb (doubtful) or she didn't apply. I couldn't have gotten her a job here but she was almost guaranteed an interview if I walked her resume up. I think she likes to wallow around in self-pity. At any rate, I don't feel a damn bit sorry for her and she won't get help from me in the future.

Ah, it's the same dumb friend.

Hey, sdifox, I'm sure you have things you can share! :awe:

lulz. Biggest gripe I have about my wife is she doesn't remember stuff I tell her. She wants to do something, I tell her don't because of whatever. She does anyway and somehow it is always my fault when it turns out the way I said it would.

another one is whatever the idea is, it is absolutely retarded if it comes from me, but she can bring it up later as her own idea because she doesn't remember I said it, and it is the best thing since sliced bread.


I would then proceed to replay the original conversation :biggrin:

Another is her bitching about my income, so I take a higher paying job then get layed off. Of course she complains about that too. Bug of course no recollection of her part in the ordeal. My sister in law wonders why I put up with it.

If my wife ever bitched about my income, I'd tell her to feel free to get a second or third job to make up the difference between what I make and what she thinks I "should" make.

She knows I can make more money, but she also knows that I'd likely be sacrificing sweet benefits and a relatively laid-back and stress-free job (except during the summers :eek:) to do it and work longer hours to boot. At this point in my life, I'd like more money but the work/life balance here is so appealing and the total comp package would be hard to overcome elsewhere.

Same with my wife. She claims to have a great memory but always conveniently forgets things I tell her. A recent example was what we need for the punch for our NYE party. She insisted that she put vodka in it and I said "No, it is white rum, not vodka." She kept arguing with me about it. A few days later, she finally pulled up the recipe and saw it was white rum. To her credit, she did admit I was right. I should mark that on the calendar as that never happens. :D

Women believe they're always right. Arguing with them is pointless, because they are essentially incapable of admitting that they are wrong.
