America...Pick the "boring, geeky" guy

[SoCalDem]

The real difference between democrats & republicans is something that most women understand.

Every girl over 12 or 13 knows how it works..

We ALL want the "cute" guy..the one who's usually dismissive of us..the one who treats us like shit, cheats on us, doesn't call when he says he will, hits on our best friend..

Time after time, we forgive him because he says the words we want to hear, or promises to "be good"..he seems remorseful, and he gives us gifts..

But

he always cheats on us again, and yet.. he's just so darned cute..he's got money, everyone likes him, he drives a great car.. we just want him..dammit..

Lurking at the back of the classroom, there's a guy who is not nearly as attractive as "cute guy".. he's smart, he's thoughtful and he's trying his best to get our attention. he LOVES us, but we won't give him the time of day.

Why?

"he's too serious"
"he's a dork"
"he's not fun"
"he is always studying"
"he wears white socks"
"he's teacher's pet"
"he's not athletic"

and of course, there's always "cute guy" saying what we want to hear, dressing like a million bucks, making us promises..

What eventually happens is that some of us wise up and grow up. We find that "geeky guy" will grow up also, and given some attention and time, will grow into a guy we can finally see as "smart, cute guy"..

or some of us manage to grab onto the original "cute guy" and end up being treated like shit by him for as long as we stay attached to him.

Republicans are "cute guy"..they have all the answers..all the soundbytes we love to hear. They tell us what we want to hear. Their plans are always great on paper. Everyone (media) loves them. they dress well, they speak well, they impress us.

Democrats are "boring, geeky guy".. They actually dig into issues and try to understand them. They tell us things we NEED to know...not things we want to know.

Republicans : "Fire ..pretty.."
Democrats : "Fire...burn you "

Ted Bundy was a "cute guy"


just sayin'


disclaimer: Some democrats (JFK comes to mind) can be BOTH..

Republicans are rarely both

1. Everyone UNDERSTANDS the cute guy.

Not everyone wants him because they understand.

2. Exactly. And start right here in California!!!

good post! thanks.

:hi:

3. Yes, the frat boys

must go. It's really a thing with them, the drink a beer with me, the glad handing, that's how they pretend to be 'one of us'. * is the classic but we have one of our own we are trying to get rid of in NY20!


Time to grow up America and vote for your own interests, vote smart. Life is more than who would you have a beer with.


Cooley Hurd where are you? Post the frat party pic of Weeney Sweeney!!!

4. There is a picture of Ted Bundy..........

on the web of him defending himself at his trial. He has his arm raised with his hand over his head outstretched, facing down, and he looks aghast. He looks remarkably like a certain politician we all love around here in that picture.

5. having married the "geek" i think he is awfully cute. but then....

i am saying..... i could not have a better life, and an easier marriage.

i agree with your post

i never wanted to have a beer with kerry, or be his friend, not what i was hiring him for

[SoCalDem]

8. I actually have had both.. married "geeky-guy"

He was also cute, but "Cute-guy" broke my heart over and over, and I saw the light :)

6. Is that what straight women really want? Good god I'm glad I'm a dyke.

(and maybe that's why we're largely democrats)

[SoCalDem]

7. When women are young and impressionable, I think they do

If they cannot "get" him, they find out later what a jerk he is and are happey they did not.. But I think "most" women are irrevocably "attracted" to "cute-guy"..:(

[readmoreoften]

11. Goodness gracious. Sounds like a little feminism would help the nice guys

out almost as much as the women.

Personally, I like the hot girl who's madly in love with me. That's my type. Of course, my idea of hot leaves many a heterosexual wildly confused.

My advice: date the dork. But what do I know, I think all guys are kind of funny looking-- but in a sweet way.

9. Give me the geek any day.

Nothin' hotter.

[TheBaldyMan]

10. Republican is the cute guy ?

I think we need a smiley for 'metaphor stretched to breaking point'.

Admittedly I do understand what you are getting at.

[SoCalDem]

13. They present themselves as "cute guy" but they are UGLY inside

and eventually they get found out..

Many a "cute guy" I grew up with ended up multiply-divorced, poor and "not-so-cute"..

and many "geeky" guys ended up as successful, and "cute".

We all need to start calling the "cute guys" out on their bullshit ..the earlier the better..before THEY start believing it themselves:)

[rucky]

12. Cute guys like these ones?

These goons didn't get laid in college and are making us all pay:

[SoCalDem]

15. No wonder they are all so angry.. Their "dreamgirl"

passed them by:)
But in all fairnes to mccain, he was a hottie when he was young :)_

14. I think Ms. MazeRat would agree.... but then I am just guessing...

She likes to say "because I was handsome" she listened to me... but "because I was smart" she wanted to do me.... I don't really think either is true and quite frankly, I think I got the better end of the deal. She is the one that seems to understand all this much better than I - I'm just repeating what she says when I look in amazement and say... "Why again did you pick me ?"

I guess the point is, had I opened my mouth during that time of first impression and said "where's the beer dude and how 'bout them cowboys".... I suspect we would not be married today. Granted, I would never say something like but had I done so, my better half would be missing about now.

Just a guess, but I think it would do America a lot of good to "listen" to what someone says and judge them on the smarts rather than their looks....
That plan seems to have worked out well for Ms. MazeRat even if she did get the short end of the stick. :)

16. Many of the founding fathers were geeks and very shy

James Madison was brilliant but in todays climate he would be toast! He barley got enough courage to ask his wife out in his late 20's I believe. I have heard Thomas Jefferson couldn't project his voice. Benjamin Franklin would most certainly be a pot smoking Berkley Professor today. John Adams was kind of geeky as well.
