guys, don't let the jerk take overPage 1 of 2    (1, 2)
Hey guys, I know you can fight the bad with the good. Don't let the jerk in you take over.
I've met guys that seem so nice and then they change into exactly what I'm hoping they don't and what I least expect of them. If you start out nice, please fight to stay that way. I know you can do it!

The sad truth is that the good guys just frustrated as we bump into the female version of what females bump into with men. I posted profile with POF for the first time some 3 days or so back after not posting anywhere out for sheer frustration with what I have been bumping into. The sad truth is that as the good men give up in frustration and go away the jerks and nut cases and brain deads move in, and "WE" normal good guys are GROSSLY out numbered and therefor we are hard as hell to find. And when you do things often do not go well as you think....my god this I bet will be yet another dripping wet off the well nut case like the rest you have bumped into....and he is thinking much the same to. So both of you are stand-off-ish with each other wondering when he or she will show his or her nut case side. And just for the record there " paradise31 " you are very cute and would love to meet you... One can only hope that you are normal in a old fashion way as the modern normal is just to weird for me....

I don't think it's a sort of Dr. Jekyl / Mr. Hyde kind of thing. If he turns into a jerk it means he always was one and was merely acting nice at first. Some people put up a fake face at first and then show their real face as time progresses.

The thing with all of the jerks for men that exist out there is that there are so many of them out there.

Well, they are having babies too, so the jerks must be doing something right. Right?

It's easy and great to be a nice guy, but when that niceness is taken advantage of, some nice guys literally have had enough. The so-called nice guys that turn into jerks were always jerks and were just playing it up to get the woman's attention...They're usually referred to as Players.

I know all i have ever wanted and ever want is the nice guy. I would give up ever other guy in persuit much less this site if i am with a guy that can put his time and effort into me. Wouldn't we all?

All i have ever looked forward to is the exclusive relationship with all the fringe benefits with that one guy. I just keep on waiting. I have realized looking has only caused unneccessary grief. I am big on good communication as well which seems to scare guys off! Nothing like a women saying it like it is!

I honestly look forward to being devoted to one nice guy for the rest of my life...one day.

it,s been my experience that if you put your time and effort into a girl.

she responds by going after the guy that doesnt.

while keeping you on the back burner.


I dont have time for that

paradise, it sounds like you have a knack for bringing out the worst in men. You're not standing between them and the TV as the game starts, are you?

I don't do a thing to bring it out in them. I'm not just referring to men that I've known. Friends have told me different things as well. I've met some nice guys, don't get me wrong. It's the ones that aren't so nice that I'm referring to.

Well, that's good to hear. I think jerks are men who know how to try to be nice to get what they want, and then when they fail they revert to the other technique, which is to punish you for not giving them what they want. It's the old rewards and punishments approach to reproductive bliss.

No, the world out there it is not full of pricks. On the contrary, they are very few, but they are so pernicious that there seems to be legions of them. So I will reverse the invective: GIRLS, DON'T LET THE JERKS TAKE OVER (because, admit it, you often do).

My left nut is safe too - a shame really as I'd like to give it up.

On-topic though, I'll admit I DO have a 'mask' but that's for my job, it only exists at work. At work I am over-confident, almost arrogant but I have to be - otherwise in my workplace I'd be eaten alive by all the sharks there.

In reality I may seem like a brick wall or like a direct relation of Mr. Spock (from Star Trek) but I'm not really like that - I've been burned alot and it's gotten to me over the years, I know I shouldn't let it, but when you put all your love into a woman and she lies to you, claims you cheated on her when you KNOW you didn't (let alone couldn't)... it kinda takes it's toll 'ya know? :)

Nice guy or another P----, we pretty much know what side of the fence we fit on. I think the women can pick up on it pretty fast also. I think a lot of the women like moths play with the flame and when there wings get burned a bit, flip back to the nice guy search.

OK ladies, let's face it. We often see the red flags and ignore them. When I was dating I saw them all the time. But when I was dating I could eventually walk away. After I was married to a jerk for 11 years (and went through six counslers) I believe I was beat up by red flags to the point that I think I sometimes even see them where they are not. Has this ruined me?
I hope not.
Examples of Red flags: How he treats and or talks about others.
( Eventually this will be you dear.)
Telling small "white lies."
(They get bigger and darker as time goes on.)
Stories about how he had to kick someones ass because they needed
it so bad.
(IN MOST cases no one ever needs an ass kicking really.)
Bragging about "getting one over" on the law. Or doing time.
(Yes girls admit it some of you out there have given him a second
date. But he was so sweet. That's all in his past.)
Yea I have kids but their **** of a mother wont let me see them.
(Either he's too lazy to see them and wont take "the ****" to
court for it... or he has and sucks even in the eyes of the law.)
He's been hurt so bad he just can't make a commitment to anyone
even wonderful you.
(He's a player... This is a line. RUN)
My Phone was in the car all night, is broken, dead.
(Believe it or not there are still tons of pay phones out there.)
Does not like Animals, Children, or old people.
(This guy couldn't nurture a glass of water. Don't bother. Flys will
be buzzing around your corpse before he
realizes you have a sniffle. AND The only
reason he will look for your corpse is
because he needs a F***in' beer.)
Short tempered
Braggart
His mother hates him.
Dogs growl, babies cry and old people make the
Sign of the cross when he passes.
Let's face it we have all seen jerks and let it go, see if it's something we can live with, or hope that if we tell them over and over and over again that this bothers us that they will change. But here is the bottom line...
Don't look at how he's treating you (He wants a peice of your sweet worthy ass) look at how he treats those around you.

The problem is that the probability of sleeping with a woman is in proportion to how much of a jerk you are. Nice guys generally either accept that they're not going to get laid (yes it is possible to be nice and like sex) and hope for a statistical fluctuation in their favor, or become jerks and get laid frequently.

Very true, only women can sort that one out.
