Me too.

I have a friend who is like a walking aphrodisiac with women. They trip over themselves for him.

Perhaps I should grow a beard and get tattoos then. That seems to work for him.

I had a friend like that.

He now has 4 kids from 4 different women, and sits in jail for CS payments.

I laugh at that entire situation, but feel awful for those kids.

That's a great perspective to look at when you're in that situation.

We all know the guys who seem to be able to get any girl they want, but we often forget the kinds of drama and problems that can stem from it. Remember, always keep perspective on what the other side of that can be.

I have three friends like this. And interestinly, compared to the OP, 2 of my friends have NO tats, and the other guy has one or two.
And all three of my friends are completely different personalities, except for a few common traits:
High confidence (in one of them it may be fake),
all three of them will take their ball and go home if they are not the center of attention.
Oh, and everything they do is all about them. So either you are on board with what they want, or you don't see them.

They seem to handle rejection well, but honestly, they don't try half as hard as most people I know to get dates, therefore, their percent of rejection is quite low.

None of them are fathers, and none have ever served time. And for the most part, they are decent people. But they have EXTREME commitment issues.

And narcissism issues, it sounds like. Sounds like some of the commitment problems may come from the ladies, after it sinks in that the guys are all about themselves.

I do. She gets the quantity I get the quality-and the quantity if I want it.

I am certain that the women they date figure it out pretty quick. But it is how these guys are wired, and they all share that trait. The woman all put up with it for much longer than you would think, especially for two of the guys.

Or you could step back and consider how you are looking at women. Hint: We're not anyTHING.

Most of my friends are monogamists, and they generally get the ones they want.
