Reply #22: Then don't play it [View All]

But also don't assume that this woman is going to play the same game. Or that ALL women who use that line are going to play the same game. Or that ALL women like to be treated like shit.

Has there ever been a time in your life that you've done something you probably shouldn't have? Would it be fair for women to judge every other guy in the world by that one thing? No.

Okay, SOME women play stupid games (some men do, too, by the way). SOME women like bad boys (and some men like bad girls, by the way).

Generalizations do no one any good. And we've heard that line so many times - "it doesn't pay to be a nice guy because women like to be treated like shit." That's unfair and untrue and it's really irritating to those of us women who HAVE been treated like shit and didn't like it one little bit.

Be a nice guy. Be whoever you really are. Obviously, this wasn't the right one. It's good that you found that out before you married her, right? Come on, don't be bitter. Cheer up. Have you heard that joke about the brazilians? I could tell it to you.... :bounce:
