- I'd be interested in seeing it. Not speaking wholly for myself,
- why is it that decent guys, when not totally ignored, get treated
- with all the consideration of a used Kleenex while complete jerks
- have women fawning over them?
-
- At 1 am this morning I'm having coffee at an all-night restaurant
- and I overhear a waitress say "All the available men are either
- gay, married, or broke". Resisting the urge to respond, I think
- about a company I worked for not long ago which had 30 women and
- 3 men in it (including myself). This place was a classic demon-
- stration of how many women consistently choose losers. Every day's
- conversation in the lunchroom brought the latest update on what a
- particular loser had done. One woman openly debated on whether she
- should get back together with her boyfriend, now that he's getting
- out of jail, because he didn't have a job. And he takes drugs, he
- beats her, and he steals. Hmm. Tough choice, eh? Admittedly, that
- was the extreme case, but the others complained either about their
- guy being an alcoholic, beating them up, or whatever.
-
- So why do women choose to live with these guys? My theory is that
- these men, scumbags as they are, do have good looks and exude a
- charm that turns women on. Regardless of their past transgressions
- and mistreatment, they seem to be able to talk their way into
- forgiveness again and again. They are good at getting sympathy
- and evoking what I believe are women's instincts to "save" these
- losers. Unfortunately, women believe the guy can be changed.
