Women Prefer Thugs to Nice Guys

But delving into these claims further, you see millions of “nice men. Straight men like me who are disease and drug free, educated, without a criminal record, who don’t have children from many different women, who are resigned to watching sunsets alone. SOMETHING has to account for this.

To many, this will seem counterintuitive, but here goes: Their words to the contrary notwithstanding, women actually prefer, either consciously or unconsciously, “dogs” to “nice guys.”

Those who knowingly prefer dogs to nice guys do so for a variety of reasons. Some like the challenge of trying to change a man. Some like the competition from other women. Some like the “excitement” a dog provides. Some prefer the sex without commitment.

Some think “nice guys” will allow themselves to be “run over” by the woman and enable her to get away with anything (Interesting: if a woman is doing everything she can to make the relationship a successful one, would this ever become an issue?)

Those who are adamant about not wanting a dog but who end up with one do so for one key reason: Most dogs possess certain attributes which make them appealing to women.

First off, most dogs are smooth talkers. It is a short leap from being a smooth talker to a good liar, which is vital to sustain the subterfuge needed to continue in his aberrant behavior. The same silver tongue he uses to tell you all the things you want to hear is the same one he uses to persuade you (and others) that you are the only one for him.

Most dogs possess an outward manifestation of supreme confidence. They have a certain swagger to them….a charisma that women are attracted to. Have you ever heard a woman profess to be interested in a guy who is insecure? Of course not, and this is why many women end up with dogs.

The end result of this is the discrepancy evident throughout society. Women are complaining about a pronounced paucity of good men while many of us who fall into this category spend night after night alone.

Perhaps I am way off base with these thoughts. Perhaps these are nothing more than the plaintiff ramblings of a person with no life. But before you completely dismiss these thoughts as hopelessly random, I offer this question in parting:

If NO women had ANY preference for dogs, and steadfastly refused to deviate from this standard, how do you account for the large numbers of dogs who bed many women without any conscience? After all, there would be absolutely NO incentive for a man to be a dog if women were true to their stated preferences.
