Are you a Nice Guy who can't seem to get a date because you're too nice?

[Valka D'Ur]

Well I am a nice guy but I have figured women out

No, you haven't. The best advice I can give you is to just put the chocolate down and back away. And then stay away.

 

[WindFish]

Women aren't that hard to understand.

Well I am a nice guy but I have figured women out (An uneasy feat I assure You) If they have period they want a brute to take them and if not they want a nice guy becouse he can take a good care of the children - if I am wrong women please correct me There are sometimes (during the period) times that women prefer niceguys but untill the process is done they want a brute nature heh :shrugs:

EDIT : Ideal would be 2 men : 1 brute and 1 niceguy , if it comes together in one person that person is ideal for women

This might be an issue of mistranslation but number one, brutes are universally unattractive, and number two, current studies indicate the opposite of your cyclical hypothesis, if there's any meaningful difference.

It was my understanding that Canadian women craved butterscotch when menstruating.

I can back this up with source.

A canadian woman would obviously prefer maple syrup

I've been wondering which of your comments would finally push me to adjust a certain list in "My Account"...

Talking about it and doing it are two different things, and not just metaphorically.

Oh, and hypothetically, you "would think..", just as a "nice guy" thinks he's a nice guy.

 

[caketastydelish]

You can't say you "understand women" as a whole, without generalizing them (which you shouldn't do).

 

[GenMarshall]

I've always known about this. Could explain why women don't see me as a potential date and are aloof.

I was generalizing Sorry I called You a woman earlier, please take no offense

 

[Joecoolyo]

You're not my type anyways.

My hopes and dreams have been shattered

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Talking about it and doing it are two different things, and not just metaphorically.

You do realize what I was getting at, right? And I not only talked about it, I did do it. It's quite refreshing not to be subjected to that particular kind of hateful drivel anymore.

Oh, and hypothetically, you "would think..", just as a "nice guy" thinks he's a nice guy.

I have no idea what you mean by this. It doesn't make any sense.

It would be impossible to give you a proper answer unless we actually met in person. Otherwise, it's insufficient data.

@Quackers: Maple syrup is wonderful, but only if you get the real stuff (which is not easy to come by in this region of the country). By an incredibly weird turn of events, maple syrup candy from Quebec was the only made-in-Canada stuff I found one year when I was looking for something to celebrate Canada Day. Everything else was made in China.

 

[AdamCrock]

By insufficient data Valka mean looks. Despise all the women say looks does matters as much as commonly known "size does matters" Sorry for being blunt but that is the truth Take it or leave it

 

[Valka D'Ur]

By insufficient data, Valka means much more than that. Looks are less important to me than personality and if body language and words are congruent. Somebody who smiles charmingly while saying nasty things or doing something inconsiderate is of no interest to me whatsoever.

I like the person CivGeneral has presented himself as to me on CFC. We have a cordial, friendly relationship. But that still doesn't give me enough information to be able to give him the advice he's asking for, because we have not met in RL.

This is a serious answer, btw. If people ask me for advice or answers of some kind, I do them the courtesy of assuming they really want to know. If they don't really want to know and were just asking rhetorically or to make conversation, I'd expect them to tell me so.

 

[Hygro]

He's not asking for advice. He made a statement.

So, it is an alpha female thing? Good luck with that theory. There may be something in status and social ordering - I suppose that does happen. But it's little to do with how anyone dresses - apart maybe for a label indicating what the order that has already been established is. This is all superficial stuff, imo. I don't see how dressing a certain way is going to turn any woman into the alpha female. She dresses a certain way because she is the alpha female. (Assuming she's not very bright, that is.)

If, that is, and it's a big if, there are such things as alpha females, or alpha males come to that, anyway.

I think we misunderstand eachother, because I did not mean to imply any of the above.

@warpus: I'm not saying that it isn't a plausible narrative. I'm saying that "a plausible narrative" is all it is. It's not hard science. 2000 years ago, the bible was a plausible narrative, too. A lot of people treat narratives that appeal to evolution in the same way, and I think your hypothesis is guilty of that.

Well of course it isn't hard science. There has never been a single case of hard science on these forums, ever, unless we're talking a referenced scientific study.

I'm just throwing out a hypothesis, based on what I know about the mating habits of other species. It is not so far fetched that similar dynamics affect us. Of course I'm not going to sit down and perform a proper scientific study to determine whether I'm right or not.

Do people still believe this line of reasoning? I feel like I stepped off a plane and John Edwards was still a viable presidential candidate and half the country thinks the Iraq War is a good idea.

Which part do you disagree with?

 

[Mise]

Climate science is based on hard science

 

[Valka D'Ur]

He's not asking for advice. He made a statement.

I misread his post, SORRY! rolleyes

But I mean what I said in a general sense, as well. It's hard to offer advice to people one has never met in person.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I have no idea why but this thread is rather funny, especially when some of the males here are telling females that they're wrong about how women think.

Anyways, I'm asexual, so I can't exactly weigh in here.
