well i'll agree with that, i am very cynical, but only because of my experiences, i wasnt cynical in middle and high school and i had the same experiences, so i dont believe my cynical attitude is the problem. honestly i've only become cynical in the past year or two. besides, if women were picking up on my cynical aura wouldnt they also pick up on an abusive man's aura? you know the guys they tend to flock to. and i only said that to illustrate that my dad was very successful with the ladies, they literally threw themselves at him.[/B][/QUOTE]

No abusive men are better at covering their tracks, most real abusers have the ability of live double lives, to be real "Doctor Jekyll Mr. Hyde's" to have multiple persona's. Your cynical-ism towards women is more obvious.

I went to two counselor/therapists that were a married couple. Their philosophy was that that all people were ugly on the inside and everybody covered that up with layers. So even nice/good people were horrible inside. I disagreed but tried to give their 'therapy' a chance.

The husband eventually ended up hitting on me. Obviously, I fired them. They are divorced now.

Anyway, I have little hope in the human race lately because there are a lot of rotten examples of human flesh out there but I refuse to believe we are all deep down bad. There are gems out there and I know for a fact that I am not bad at the core. It seriously makes me sad that anyone would feel that way about themselves.

Although I'm sure there are girls out there that love 'bad boys' and women that go after all the wrong men all of their lives - I venture to say that most women grow out of that once they leave their teens if they happen fall into that trap to begin with.

Then there are the women that fall for the 'bad boys' in a misguided effort to change or 'heal' them. Another mistake.

THEN there are the strong women that don't need a man to stand outside the 'social norm' but can do it just fine on their own.

I have to say it also doesn't really sit right to me that so many people are ready to throw guys into two categories. "Nice guy" and "Bad guy". Really? I hear it a lot. Although there are guys that fit nicely into those peg holes - most of them don't and are.... people.

I can't recall ever falling for a bad boy. Rebels and nonconformists (like I fell hard for one boy who stood up to cops, sat in trees to prevent them from being logged, and had a blue punk hairstyle but was still a good guy), yes, but not what I'd call bad. But there are plenty of "nice guys" I can't stand...and this echoes my sentiments on Why "Nice Guys" are often such LOSERS:

Another good point There are a LOT of 'good' guys that are outside social norms.

this doesn't make sense. you said they were picking up on my aura,if that were true women would be able to pick up on the anger of abusive men. but since you're talking about outward appearance now , I'm not outwardly angry and frustrated, I'm still as nice and friendly as ever.

Yes I said they are picking up on your aura. But real abusers, cheaters, men living double lives have the ability to hide that side of them. Just as some men have the ability to charm women and other men don't have that ability. Unless your are living a double life I don't think hiding your aura is a personal talent with that Taurus moon.

heck if we're talking about living outside social norms I'm an aquarius, I wrote the book on it lmao . I live in the south and: I'm a liberal, I support gay marriage( one of my best friends is gay), and I study astrology and I don't hide it, how much more outside the norm could I possibly get? but we're not talking bout guys outside social norms, we're talking about the men who mistreat women and women being attracted to those men. I support people who are outside social norms, but I don't support douchebags

@ ami, I'm frustrated and I dont deny it, I am very vocal with my disapproval of bad boy love. I harp on my mom about it all the time, but she denies her love of bad boys and emotionally unavailable men,but her actions make it very clear that she does like those guys. so according to the logic of most women I'm unsuccesful with women because I'm frustrated that women like bad boys. but don't bad boys get angry and frustrated too? do women not pick up on that? doesnt everybody get frustrated, angry , or cynical sometimes? so why would I be singled out and x'd out because I get frustrated when women are pulled to guys alot worse then me. they fall for: druggies, liars, cheaters, guys with rage issues, alcoholics, guys with commitment issues, guys with personality disorders, violent/abusive men. etc so they'll give all these guys a chance and be loving and supportive of all their issues, but they'll write me off because I'm frustrated because I've been left out in the cold? so I'm more dangerous
or scary than the types of guys I listed above( all who manage to be very successful with women)? I'm sorry I don't think so.

It is frustrating. Here is the thing. Talk is cheap. Watch actions. People can talk all kinds of crap. Watch what people do. That is the larger point of my article

Also, trust your own BS detector. Life is not sweet and good, as we want it to be. Be wise about people( and one's own motives, as well) as the Bible says.

Be wise as serpents, gentle as doves. Learning this takes lots of being beaten up. I hate that this is the case, but it has been the case for me.

I had a major loss of innocence. Find a few good people who will help you. You can't do it without them

I think its more a case of "Challenge" as opposed to Bad Boys... A nice guy who cannot pose a challenge to a woman's intellect or is incapable of dominating (NOT-abusive domination) her sexually is useless

I would never date a guy who is incapable of either of those

maybe you're just attracted to unavailable women / the wrong women (who like bad boys) -- therefore unavailable. maybe it feels familiar (like home) to you, since your mom is that way.
maybe you need to start pursuing "nice" girls.

@ami -- YES, watch actions not words. i finally got this one down

also i agree w lei kuei-- women (and men) like a challenge.

2 other things i'd like to add:

a. desperation is not attractive in either sex

and

b. arrogance and confidence are not the same thing.

I think most healthy women grow out of this. Even if they had a-hole dads (or moms!).

I know I've accidentally dated bad boys, thinking at first that they were good boys. Only later to learn otherwise.

There are probably many woman like me who are extremely tired of the bad-boy types, especially after having been thru the wringer with one or two. And especially when they "sneak up on you" and show their true colors only a few months into the relationship when theyve already hooked you.

Aquaguy, remember that just because you watch a female hook up with what you determine is a douch-bag does not necessarliy mean he is, or that the woman is a dumb@ss - or only likes a-holes , or that no good can come from the connection.

You are not the be all, end all, know all - "final word" of all men and couplings on the planet.

A guy might seem douch-y to you, but the female might need to learn things from him and in the process become stronger and learn what not to go for, or what to look out for next time.

Point is, as painful as some of those relationships were, I learned a HELL OF A LOT!

& i needed them, for my own growth.

Yes, maybe some women never grow out of it, but would you want to be with one of those? There are plenty who do grow out of it and ARE looking for a normal nice guy.

Just saying, don't look at all girls you deem are with a "bad boy" as f*cked up. Maybe they need the learning experience.

You are pretty young afterall.

Don't let it p!ss you off so much. They are learning and growing too.

Thx mercurian. & those of us who've been with "bad boys" have an advantage, because we learn to truly appreciate the genuine good boys when they finally cross our path....eventually, right?
