The jerk store called…

All nice guys always come to the conclusion in life that women love assholes. It’s been said a million times before and I know it’s been an issue beaten into the ground, but I haven’t talked about it, at least not to a website where my only visitor is my brother in law…

All my life I’ve lived it in such a way where I was always nice to everybody, women especially, since I thought that was what people want. I’ve obviously been fooled into thinking this through the media (I will blame the media for everything from now on) and it’s simply not true. So many times in my life, I’ve questioned why a girl reacts a certain way, I mean, I’ve always known about them liking jerks, but when I figured one would be different, I was wrong.

There was a post on a forum I visit entitled, “The Theory of Jerkocracy,” which is just something someone thought of to explain all of this crap we nice guys go through. So, after the break, is the theory, with my commentary.

The Theory (Not authors idea, just someone else s, but I don’t disagree)

We all know that the majority of women date jerks. Hell, it might not even be a majority, but it’s sure as hell half. Not necessarily half of all women, as I’m sure some have married the person they’ve been most compatible with, but we’ll assume half of the women that are currently dating, are dating jerks. [Or are actively pursuing them] Most of us single men, wonder why. As well, most of us single men are friends to women, though we’d like to be closer. [Story of my life] And what we’ve learned is that women say they want a nice, sensitive man, or something along those lines. [Liars.] You know the type of guy I’m talking about, because if you’re a single guy with a girl–friend, you know what I mean. This girl–friend has told you this many times. [Fuck that bullshit.]

So why don’t they date nice, sensitive men? They’re lazy. Just like you and me, girls are lazy. It’s just become widely accepted that women can be such, that they’ve given it a different name, and moved it around different places among the list of characteristics given to women and called it something else “Passive.” The guy makes the first move, the guy sets up the date, the guy does everything. And why the hell not? The women get a free ride. [Dammit, I want a woman to do some shit for once, I'm sick of doing the work.] They [accept] what the guy gives them, and they’re in paradise. If the men don’t please the women in such a way, they make the guy pay, or the relationship is over. [Bitches.]

So we have these [two] sides, the guy and the girl. The girl wants a nice/sensitive man, but she’s lazy. The jerk who gets into a relationship is not lazy, but he’s usually (we’re talking stereotypes here. I’m aware of the fact that not every guy/girl is like this, so we’re referring to the majority, and taking the minority out back and having it shot) in it for one thing: sex. Or the events that lead to sex (physical affection). He nods, listens, pretends he’s listening, with the sole intention of receiving physical compensation later on. (From here on we’ll just refer to physical affection as sex, giving kissing, hugging, holding hands a nice general term.) [I'll have to inject my own thoughts here. He does leave out the most important piece of information, women also want to change jerks, it's a well known fact, even if women will disagree to it. I know so many women that are with or want a jerk, and openly know the guy is a jerk and still wants them, because they think they can change him. I've learned you can't change who a person is, so it's time to move on, which is what this whole post is truly about.]

So what most motivates these men? Sex. Or the possibility of sex. What can make a man act out of character, or be the most straightforward? Sex. It’s the Jerk that acts like this. It’s the Jerk that only wants sex. [But I offer so much more, being the nice guy, dammit.] The women sees this jerk as the only forthcoming guy out there that wants a relationship, but he’s only in it for sex (or possibly money). So the girl is lazy, and takes the guy that comes her way, who makes up for her laziness by being forthcoming. The result is that her laziness costs her, and she spends her time with someone her doesn’t “treat her right.” [Boo-fucking-hoo.]

See, the sexes have it all reversed. The girl wants a sensitive man, but is lazy, so she gets a jerk. The GUY wants a girl he’s compatible with, but is shy, so he gets nothing. The jerk is just something that falsely fills the void for women. [Yeah, I'm shy, but women are retarded.]

In the relationships I’ve seen where the girl makes the first move (is aggressive, and the guy is fairly shy, but is what a girl REALLY wants), the relationship has flourished for years.

So there you have it, the Theory of Jerkocracy, something I’ve always loved and can relate to so much.
Why do I bring this up? Past and present events, but I was watching, you guessed it, How I Met Your Mother Season 2, and Marshall says, “He’s a jerk just enough where girls think they can change him.” So very true. I’m telling you, the show relates to life so well. I’ve known guys who acted like jerks and got the girl, that is seriously fucked up. But back to what I mentioned earlier, it’s time to move on. Women aren’t really worth the trouble they cause, which is why I’m taking a sabbatical from all the bullshit. I need to focus on myself right now, I have many things planned for my life. It’s been off track for sometime and it’s in desperate need of some help. I’m not currently as happy as I wish, but I’m working on it everyday, and women do not help it as much as I had once thought. I’m not ruling out that if some girl actively pursued me, I’d wouldn’t turn her away (the likeliness of that happening is about the same as Jesus returning at this point), but I’m not holding my breath.
