The pedestal argument doesn't make any sense to me or work for me. In my opinion, guys can never have too many girl friends. Why would a guy want to put a girl friend on a pedestal if he didn't help "create" her and his name isn't Pygmalion?

What do you recommend a guy do to not go out of his way to make women jealous on purpose? Sometimes it can be easy to pick it up from women simply due to the disparity in available sex for them when compared to males; as a less effective form of coping strategy and it sometimes helps, even if it is not how I want to develop my character or my attitude.

Note that I said "most" NOT all.

Anyone who thinks most women want nice guys is a MORON.

They only want nice guys when they have been used up and abused by the jerks over a long period of their lives.
Good thing there are lots of men who are neither bad boys nor the so-called nice guys.

What about women believing there is more attraction than there is, simply because the guy wasn't getting laid? In my opinion, women are not doing themselves any favors by not factoring for sex with some guys.

No, I meant when women get jealous of their girlfriends for the guy they are with. ultimately I don't care if other women are jealous of the man I got, I just meant that I don't go out of my way to create that jealousy. Pursue whoever you want, if the woman you wind up dating has jealousy issues, that's a whole different ballgame!

From my perspective, an easy bad boy that you have already put your scent on is worth two nice guys in the bush who you haven't put your scent on; for return privileges purposes.

Some nice guys don't have any problems with women bearing true witness about stuff like that; simply for the sake being entitled to the character of a nice guy.

Are you claiming the challenge part is that they are willing to be bad boys with all the other girls. You seem to acknowledge that part without trying to actually say so.

yes, they'll drop me like a hot potato once a better girl comes along or they find something they don't want to deal with in the relationship. However, I have no way of knowing any of that until it happens so that's where it gets tricky.

Not sure what you're getting at here. are you saying some women give pity sex? that sounds like horrible sex to me! Sex is way too important to me to settle for horrible sex.

I prefer women who can get their girl friends involved whenever she can't spend enough quality time with me.
