I'll pipe in here without being mean, since you are asking genuine questions. Sometimes girls come on here without knowing what we're about and start trying to give us really bad advice... the same advice thats steered us so wrong for so many years.
First I'd like to address this statement here:
And what is up with people associating changing your mind with distrust? Thinking it's a bad thing? Change is progress isn't it?
The problem with this is, you women tend to change your mind at the drop of a hat, and your actions follow. This means, if you meet an attractive nice guy, and date him, because you are sick of the jerks, sooner or later, you will 'change your mind' about him. Most of the time when this happens, the nice guy gets cheated on, and walked all over, but you keep changing your mind about him. One day, you will love him, and his niceness, and treat him good. The next day, some jerk will hit on you, and you will miss being manhandled, and cheat on Niceguy. Jerk splits as he's got what he wanted, so you go back to niceguy, only with less respect for him, as he has a gut feeling something's amiss, but buries the feeling cuz he's too scared to lose you to speak up. Your respect falls a little more, and the cycle repeats.
Changing your mind is not a good thing. My ex either loves me, or she hates me, so when I hang out with her, I'm either in Heaven or Hell, and it gets old real fast. Us guys aren't really into the emotional roller coaster ride you women are accustomed to. We are not as emotional. You women like your emotions to be stirred up for good or bad, or you're just not happy. So... If you date the niceguy, your emotions aren't getting stirred correctly, so you date the jerks instead, and complain about them for half the waking day.
Your problem isnt finding guys who are interested in relationships. You have plenty of them,. You call them your 'guy-friends.' You arent interested in them yough are you? You see, the reason they are your friends, is because they are attracted to you but dont understand the game. They are AFC's, that thing by being really nice to you and being sensitive and 'there for you,' it will make you realize that you are 'meant to be.' These nice guys treat you like WE want to be treated by you women. They are essentially your 'girlfriends,' because they act just like them.
You want what you cant have. You need a REAL man, yet real men are really hard to come by, and even harder to tame. And... when you 'tame' them, they turn into supplicating niceguys, and you wont be attracted anymore, and the cycle continues.
Now, if we are misogonistic (sp) around here, its due to overcompensation from our niceguy days.
