Sinister: She wants a boy who laughs at everyone, who goes with her like bullets in a gun

Hello Sinister Massive,

I couldn't help noticing a recent thread regarding women's prediliction 
toward dating liars, thieves and malcontents...bad boys.  Having been the 
unwitting victim of this time and time again, I would love to be clued in as 
to what the big deal is.  I have my theories, but given that I'm not a woman, 
they're probably pretty misinformed.
My theory is that women want something to mother and mold and scold, rather 
than some thumb-sucker or all-around nice guy who's just waiting on their 
every sneeze to brandish a box of tissues.  Maybe its also because neglect is 
such a "manly" thing, that unless a guy repeatedly ignores a girl he doesn't 
seem "manly."  Why do women want it hard? (not like that, you perverts)  I 
always hear my women friends moaning about how they want a guy "who's 
normal...who's nice...who'll buy us flowers," when what they really want is 
all of that followed by the phrase "once a year."  I have bought women 
flowers for no reason, sereneded them with love songs, complimented them up 
and down, missed a kegger to watch "You've Got Mail" etc., only to be left 
behind for guys who forgot their birthday and would later cheat on them with 
an ex- or something.  It seems like as soon as a woman knows she has a guy, I 
mean really and truly HAS a guy, then she doesn't want him anymore.  Guys are 
very much like this too, so I guess we have no room to talk.  Perhaps people 
aren't comfortable unless they're uncomfortable, unless there's that 
every-present feeling that any minute something COULD go wrong (even if it 
never does).  Maybe it ties in with wanting someone independent, someone who 
could do without you quite easily, thank you very much.  I have no clue.  I 
just know all my overly romantic friends are also the ones who are the 
loneliest and I wish I could understand why.
Ferris Bueller once said, "You can't respect someone who kisses your ass...it 
just doesn't work."  Perhaps that says it all.


Perfecting the art of imperfection...
