If there is one thing I have repeatedly heard over the years is that young girls go through a bad boy stage but then "realize" and "learn" they actually like nice guys. After dumping the twelfth asswhole, they decide to give niceness a chance and as the story goes they enter upon this whole new wonderful experience. Of course, we guys learned in kindergarten we like being treated with respect—it takes the ladies the better part of two decades to catch up?
I'm a nice guy. I'm not a nice guy in the pathetic sense as defined on this website, but in the conventional sense I am fairly pleasant and nice. For the past five years I have heard how things get better for nice guys starting around the ages of 26 or 27. I am a fresh 27 and do see my buying power increasing.
But I have never bought into the explanation. I don't think women learn, I don't think they mature. Women are great at convincing themselves that they learn insights; they spend a great deal of time sitting with their girlfriends and copiously dissecting life and people, but then weeks later end up right back where they started. They spend years with those girlfriend pow-wows, trying to figure out why they keep making the same mistakes and coming up with all sorts of "strategies" or whatever. I then spend five minutes listening to them and say "You were abused as a kid and that's why you need chaos in your life," and they respond "You just told me my whole life story." Women are smart but our lives are driven by primitive instincts.
It certainly feels good on the soul to think all these women mature and get in touch with what "women really want", but I think it's a delusion of pride. Nice guys have too much pride. They want female adoration and so of course they happily latch onto the idea women mature. Rather, my guess is there are two breeds of women: women who like nice guys and women who think they like nice guys. The former has a long history of nice boyfriends and have been ever since they were in diapers. But for the latter, their thinking they like nice guys is far more manipulative. They want to settle down, raise a family, and the man is only but a pawn. Inevitably they grow sick of the hubby and probably start screwing around, probably divorce, and then "rediscover her sexuality" and be the limelight of society. These "cougars" play up their garbage baggage as gold as it's only women who turn the negative into a positive—it's "experience". Women who actually like nice guys usually are undesirable and so I refrain from giving them a thumbs up.
I know all that I just said is nothing groundbreaking but the question of sovereignty is a growing issue for me. I know I'm going to be, if not already, getting targeted for marriage. I've realized all women on this planet are crazy and so it's a matter of how much extra craziness a woman has and if it's worth the hassles, but when ulterior motives are added that then just further complicates life.
