[b]1.What I don't understand is why girls really, really, really want that nice guy, but once they fine one,, they can't date him because now they need a jerk"---Rob, 26
2.I don't get why girls say one thing and mean something different. Like when they say, "You can watch the game' and then when you do, you get in trouble.--Keith, 27
3. Why, oh, why, can't you create a single, central location for your hair ties and body pins?!? And why is there one on the handle of the microwave?"--Chris, 26[/b]
Not to mention that these are taken from an email I got from one of my friends. I was just curious, if any of the give one is true!
I need both gender's review, guys and girls too.
I go first, I am a guy and I believe every point is true.
[i]1. I have seen it, once I got a girl by being nice and later I saw her with the a jerk who didn't want anything but **x.
2. This is the general aspect I think every girl would accept that.
3. Have you not seen your mom and sisiter using every place as a pin holder![/i]

This is coming from a female. Those three things are right.
1 I started dating a really nice guy, but now the nice guy can be a jerk and I am married to nice turned jerk guy..
2. I know of a female who I did speak to for 2 weeks. She was telling me one thing, and then when she spoke to her man (my friend) she told him something totally different.
3, I have see girls put their hair ties even around the gear stick in the car. Even I am guilty of that. But now I have one place for them and that is where I brush my hair

That woman that I had spoken to for only 2 weeks had not met my husband. Lucky for me I think. But she had distroyed my friendship with my friend which is her partner.

I guess im not the typical woman because most of my guys/hubbies etc. have never had these complaints. plus, they didnt want to let go of me 1.I usually picked what i thought was a good guy. unfortunately 4 turned out to be very bad after i married them. i hit the jackpot with my last one. he was the ultimate good guy but lost him to cancer. i loved him the most. and everyone else loved him to. 2. I always let them watch whatever they wanted. i'd read or do something else if i didnt want to watch the sports. 3. maybe iam bad about leaving my hair crap all over the place, but its never seemed to be a problem

Girls generally don't like really nice guys. Why?
Really nice guys are scary. Its seems really nice guys are too good to be true, that he might be hiding something like he is a psycho. Really nice guy are not challenging so they are boring generally. Other women said that really nice guys are not good to be trusted, some of them maybe are cheaters thats why.

Sorry but I did not mean to offend you. I am just sharing my opinion. My bf is a nice guy but a bad guy sometimes, thats what I like in him. Too nice is not good as too much for something is bad enough.

I am sorry but that was what your post suggested. It was full with too much negativity(sorry).
So now I have understood why girls were not with me when I was nice with them and when I was bad with them.
I need to mix the evil and good sanu to get a girl with me.

Ok, I'm older and I clearly remember falling for the "bad guys". I wanted a nice guy...I wanted to be wanted. The players talk a really good story and they do it well. They say everything you want to hear and they say it with meaning. The good, honest guys...well...you are just yourselves and I wish I knew about the players back then but I was naive and the jerk told me I was beautiful and how much he loved me and had never met a woman like me etc etc. For some girls it may be the challenge of getting the guy to settle down. Thing is...he ALWAYS talks as if she is the one girl he could see himself settling down with.
2. We say you can watch the game because you can. We don't want to be your mama's. We want to be your lovers. We also want to see where we really stand with you...what are your priorities? We want you to be with us only if you want to be with us. So if you choose other activities over us too many times because you don't think we care then we'll know that you'd rather be with the guys or watching tv or whatever. Don't be shocked if we just move on.
3. hair ties..etc? well, I don't know about others but I do have a dish in the bathroom that I keep most of those things. Still...I keep one in my purse, one in my car and of course there is always one hanging in the kitchen. Why? when I fix your food...you do want me to tie my hair back ....right?

when I fix your food.
No, I don't want to have a hair in my food LOL!
About the first point: Well, I always want to be a good guy but when I turn into a bad one girls seems to forget me and think about other good guys. Seems that you girls are very much complex persons to understand.

1. I don't put up with jerks
2. I'm working on saying what I mean. Guys don't pick up on tone of voice or facial expression very well. lol
3. One drawer in the bathroom for hair things. lol I'm not so complicated.

I wish I will have one of the lady of your type be my wife because I am not too good in attracting them and I think I am too nice to have a gf.
I do'nt understand the facial expressions and I would appreciate if my wife would use their hairpins at one place!
Thanks

Firstly, i don't know about the girls you date but not ALL girls are like that and wouldn't it be unfair to you too if i said ALL guys were just jerks and azzholes? Secondly, i admit sometimes i do say one thing and mean another and honestly i don't even want to explain why because it'll eat up your whole discussion space , probably..lol And lastly, i DEFINITELY do not use everything as a pin holder..I have my jewelery box and my own compartments and i REALLY hate that my things are all over the place so no, my stuff would be all in one place..I think it varies for different women so guys, not everyone's the same..Everyone has their own personality and character, and that goes to use girls too..=]

Ahh! I wish I could have dated with more than one girl! Will you be my blind date()? Okay, mylot isn't a place where you are supposed to find dates.
Back to discussions. I am not referring to each and every girls, the lines which I have written are taken from an email and I just posted review on that.
But men will be men and women will be women, whatever you do!

Ah, same story again.
I can remember one girl in my last office, she didn't have any bf but since she was afraid that i would propose her, she told me well in advance that she has a bf but when I came to know that she accepted the proposal from another guy in the office, I was furious and immediately I stopped talking to her! I hate her.

Hi.
I agree with you totally. All these things happen and happen really regularly.
What I can make out of it is that girls want to see how much we care about them, how much we understand them.
For an example, if she says you can watch the show, while she actually wants you to talk to her, she wants to see whether we prefer a show or her company but she won't say to you that she wanna have a chat.
I don't know why they believe in making things complex, while we boys, being simple, do what is very simple to do in that situation and that is to watch the show, still caring about her in heart.

All they want is 100% dedication towards them from us, which we want to give them most of the time but if we are over nice to them, then also it is not being liked.
Have you watched the movie, "Rab ne bana di jodi"? This movie is a perfect example of what I have suggested in my post!

Well, you can only see the meaning of my last post by watching this movie. Anyways, a girl would never tell you that what she likes. At one hand, the actress of this movie dislike her husband because he is a silent guy and not talk too much but he is the one who takes care of his wife very much but at the other hand, she liked "Raj" the flirty guy who always try to flirt with her and tries to make her laugh and smile.
A girl is the most mysterious creature God have created.

#1 - I don't think that's true at all. And I also think that guys consider "all other guys" as jerks when they're paired up with their exes.
#2 - Girls tell you what you CAN do, but that's not what you always SHOULD do. We expect you to know better. "You can go to that strip club - and you can also stop considering me as your girlfriend when you leave that door" sounds like something I would say.
#3 - We like having our pony tails lying around because we need them when we need them. The ones we carry around, we end up using then taking off when going to the bathroom then forgetting them there. I always have a couple in my bag but I always also lose those so I make sure I leave a couple more everywhere else. That's a small thing compared to how sloppy I know guys are with their things. I leave my ponytails around the house but my brother actually loses his cellphone 5 minutes after he enters the house because he forgot where he placed it - you don't see us doing that very often.
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

#1. What did you mean? Are you saying that we guys think that all girls are jerK? Sorry couldn't understand your point.
#2. You are scaring me, I would then be very confused if I am asking something from my wife for a permission. Seems that I would have to do whatever you want without you telling me. Very tough job. I wonder how a man lives with the same girl forever! It is a tough task, we should get noble prize for it.
#3. I completely agree with you on this point. I also have a tendancy of forgetting my cellphone or my glasses but at the same time, I do ahve only one cell and only one glass!

#1 - I think that guys think that whoever their exes date are jerks - they would always find fault against their exes new boyfriends :)
#2 - I would find it even more disturbing if my boyfriend would actually want to go to a strip club. That means conflict in principles because I am strongly against strip clubs.
#3 - glad you got that one :)

Why do women like bad boys. Women are attracted to the self confidence and masculinity that the bad boy offers. I could be genetic because early women needed someone who was fearless to protect the family. Someone who was shy and retiring could not go out and kill the fierce beast and bring home many fine slaughtered animals. I think they do not understand the attraction themselves. Most women get smart by the age of child rearing and settle for a nice guy they have been ignoring because the know the bad boy will make a bad husband. Some make the mistake of marrying the bad boy with the inevitable results and learn the hard way. Some are never able to give them up.
Why do girls say one thing and mean another. I assume you are talking about women. Women are raised with other girls and the learn the code on how to speak to each other. Men are raised with other boys and so when the two meet their patterns are set, but they are different. Because women understand each other's code they get along with other women, but the speaking in code does not translate to a man because it is like a foreign language.
For example man and woman driving along and the woman asks "Are you hungry dear?" Man says "No". This is the wrong answer, as the woman was asking to go for lunch because she is hungry and gets mad at man for not taking her to lunch. If it was her girlfriend, she would instantly understand and say "Let's go to lunch". Another example, woman asks "What is wrong dear?" Man says "I am bored". Woman takes this as personal insult as she asks herself how can he be bored with me here? She is now mad at man for calling her boring. Third example "Does this make me look fat?" Of course the answer is "yes" but at least most men know enough not to say that. The correct answer is "I love you" because she is looking for approval, not the truth. As far as a man wanting to watch television, how can he watch television when I am here thinks the woman, so even if she says yes, he is already in trouble for making the choice, even though she does not want to watch television with her.
As far as scattering hair pins around the house, I have no idea on that one.

Interesting points! Thanks for sharing.
I would be interested to know about things which girls think that they can't understand about men. I am there will be many. I would love to give them a try.
1. It is like gaining experiences. Once a girl becomes a woman then she gets the knowledge that she needs a guy with guts but not a nice and coward guy. So, I do'nt need to be a bad guy but a strong guy.
2. That was the best part of your response. I have understood your point and that is why I am eagerly waiting to get married to actually apply your points in mylife but long time to go as my elder sister is due to marry before me!

Hi there, from my experience I could tell you this:
1. Don't try to understand, you will never. Girls is a human who has good and bad side, same as a boys. You need to threat them equally, but in a private moment you need to threat them respectively.
2. 90% of man decision base on logic, 90% of woman base on feeling. Thats way man and woman will always think in opposite direction. We need to have a sessions of private conversations to work out an agreement that both will understand. The keywords is discussion.
3. I have no comment on this, both man and woman has their own respective "bad habit" . Woman usually associated with "beauty tools", man with "power tools"....
a good couple is not because they have the same way thinking, but a good couple is where they could unite they opposite way of thinking, and fill each other weakness.
....this is just my 2 cents....or maybe a buck

For me, I'm a little bit too nice, so I guess that's why they want a jerk. A comedian once said, "women talk but don't listen. They look and try to figure out what's going on in their head. Men, on the other hand don't. When you talk to other guys, it's probably best not to look at each other"

Rob- It's not that we don't want a nice guy, we do. It's that we want our nice guy to have a bit of a "bad boy" spice to him now and then.
Keith-It's not that we don't say what we mean. We do mean what we say. However, we sometimes try to give in thinking our man may give us a bit back. Of course, we don't want to have to tell you this, we want you to know this already. (Might want to read Tim Allan's book "Don't stand too close to a Naked Man")
Chris-I'm not sure. I have a central location for all my pins and hair pieces. However, my children and cat seem to think they belong all over the house.
Sanu- Sometimes girls and guys need "buddy" simply to blow off steam. In terms of the television, I watch almost all the same shows my hubby does so we very rarely have an issue. And we don't watch football, basketball, etc because we can't stand it. Instead we watch things like the UFC together. And in tersm of the last one, well I already stated that I have a central holder, but it is violated almost daily by children and my cat. I loose more hair ties to my cat than anything else lol.

No body is perfect and that's why girls want a mixture guy, interesting.

Ha ha ha! LOL, you never know who spreads those hair pins all over the place.
This is for the first time I have heard that a guy and girl has almost similar taste of TV soaps or games. Both of you have good understanding with each other
Anyways, thanks for a lovely and very elaborated response. i appreciate that

Why thank you. Yeah, the hair ties I catch chewed up all of the time. She's like a racoon and can open anything lol. Then there is my 2 1/2 year old who is constantly running to me with hair ties saying "Samurai, Samurai", then as soon as I put his top knot in, he takes it out lol.
And yes, I'm very lucky my husband and I like the same shows. We were friends for almost 6 years before getting married, I think that helped learn each other tastes. We were naturally drawn to each other because we shared so many of the same interests. The same is true with movies, for the most part. However, he has gone over the edge and actually sat through several "girl" films with me, laughing almost as hard as I was. It's kind of nice. And I still get psyched everytime I watch the first battle scene in The Gladiator with the "Pincher" movement. That, and the one arena scene where he lops off the one head with two swords. (I know, I'm horrible lol).
Thanks for the great discussion. This one was definately fun, I agree you should share more.

I thanked you because the way you have elaborated the response was superb.
Pets, although I don't have one still I can imagine how naughty they can be at times. They are no different than kids most of the time except they will not cry when they are hungry.
About the gladitor movie, I think you didn't watch "300" hollywood movie. It was full of those head slicing scenes which are nasty and one of my friend even couldn't see one scene of this movie.
Well, what are the girl movie? Are you talking about Adult movies?

1. we want our guys to be nice...but then again, we dont want them overly nice that they'd do everything we say. if we wanted that, we'll get a dog. :)
2. we do mean what we say, but since most of the time, you do the exact opposite of what we say, we say what we dont want you to do. (though i am so direct and i expect my guy to be the same with me.) oh, and depends on the tone of voice. :)
3. i am the only one in our family with long hair and since i hate clutter, i have all my things in their proper places. though my brother-in-law seems to think that my hair ties are usefull in bunching things up.

Hi sanadoodoo..who ever said that girls want the really nice guy? Girls want the "bad boys". Ones they see as a challenge. No fun if hes an easy catch and full of goodness.
2. When girls say you can watch the game, its giving you permission for that one time only, and not every other night of the week too...
3. We need to pin clips everywhere in case we need them at that moment. Didnt you know that woman are practical. If theres one hanging on the plants, then we dont need to search for one in our box on our dresser that is so full, we couldnt find a pin if we wanted too.
Hope this clears up ALL your questions...just ask me..I will tell you

Women are difficult to understand sometimes, and I won't bother to provoke their anger. They seems have some sort of code you need to find a method to decode them. Otherwise, you won't be able to understand their languages.

I have been with girls and been very nice and was in misconception that the girl would choose me if she needs to spend night but it was opposite becasue she was after a guy who didn't even give an eye to her and she wanted to get in bed with that guy only!
Shame on me!

yeah my lady has the hair ties too but i have no clue where she keeps em maybe that's a good thing. it would be way more then 3 things that i don't get. for instance why can't she sit down and watch sports with me. if she did that maybe she would understand the games better and enjoy them a little if you never do it you'll never know. it could be another thing to do together. i watch movies and other shows with her all the time. wish she would take it easy on the toilet paper try to conserve a little she uses way more then i do need to make it last.
i'm a nice guy and i'm glad that i have her and she's glad she has me.
we may not understand each other all the time but we love each other and that's what matters the most.

the part where girls say one thing but mean the other is true, and its also true that they expect something back in return or they expect us to say what they want to hear. im guessing they think the nice guy is too dull thats the only thing i can think of
