This is the great pitfall of online dating. I haven't tried it, in part because of this. I've noticed that on forums, you get a chance to acquaint yourself with people's thinking and personality. That seems like a better way to go. But the old-fashioned way is best--through shared activities, or friends.

In all seriousness women are far too beautiful and perfectly made too rule out.

There is nothing better then a women's undivided attention, love/lust and passion for you.
you're either really young or a virgin. pretty women come a dime a dozen bro. most if not all will have something wrong with them.. like they'll be in perfect shape and think they're fat. or have daddy issues. or don't make enough money. or a million other things.

women are just people man.. you begin to lose your edge the moment you start trying to mold yourself into someone you aren't for the sake of appeasing a woman.

also money is better than a woman's undivided attention. if you've ever had a woman's 'undivided attention' you'd know how annoying and creepy it is. with the non stop texts, calls, "where are you".. "who were you with".. ''do you love me''... "why havent i met your mom"..
woman's attention wont pay ur bills, it wont buy u a nice house, nice clothes.. unless you land yourself a rich cougar. but money will get u all that and plenty of women's attention. not a popular thing to say around these parts but its true.

Those are the women with self-esteem issues, childhood abuse issues, etc.

I'm not an expert by any means, but these are my observations:

Almost all of the men I know in good relationships are good people. If you just want a bunch of notches on a bedpost, maybe being a bad guy works, but not if you want a lasting good relationship.

Whenever I've acted a bit too insulting or overly sarcastic on a date or with a woman, she usually is no longer as interested or interested at all. Usually if a girl likes me one of the reasons is that she thinks I'm a good person (along with other things of course).

I think a lot of times women end up with a bad guy b/c that guy fooled her into thinking he was a good person due to being charismatic. Often, girls will simply have poor judgement of a guy's character.

I'll be glad to when I find a plain woman who doesn't, instead, recoil in horror when I walk in the door.

One has to have character; in order to discern the qualities of character in others.

I have so many thoughts on this topic, i might have to make my own post. I'm such a stereotypical "Nice Guy" but some of my female friends have given me a different perspective. It frustrates me to no end that i never get the women i want. But i have to admit, it is a little silly to think that a woman would intentionally choose a bad person over a nice person.

Just as men desire to be the one man to conquer the ice queen, so too do women pine for being the girl to tame the savage beast.

Not me. I see a bunch of idiots chase after them, throwing away good dollar after bad. The movie "Body Heat" is emblematic of this. Kathleen Turner may not be icy in the sack, but she is icy in every other way. Watch the movie...it's phenomenal in every way...plot, acting, writing, locales, music...

If I could put an ice cube into the Palm Springs sun, I would.
