Often, they do, though. Do you think a woman you might be dating wants to hear all about how you were bullied in school and how rude people are to you around town? You need to resolve your issues, first.

How are you with the other relationships in your life? Family? Best friend? New acquaintances? When you can say you have solid mutual connections with others, you may be ready for a romantic relationship.

If you struggle with friendships and other human interactions, you are not.

I don't talk about it in real life like I do on MBs. I would bring it up sonetimes like all couples should tell each other their problems at some point, but im not constantly depressed and talking about my problems like I might appear to be on here.

So you're saying when a woman gets with a nice guy that she only does because she can't get a guy who treats her badly? That makes no sense! Jerk=rude, nice guy= treats her like a HUMAN BEING and respects her.

So you only get depressed when you log into your computer and post on MBs? The rest of the time you are perfectly well-adjusted, happy and a great potential partner?

If that is the case I would cancel your Internet subscription right now! Obviously it is the cause of all your mental disturbances.

No. My depression goes off and on. Being able to remain anonymous online makes it comfortable talking about this kind of stuff cause if strangers online think bad of you it doesn't affect your real life.

I would say the best time to get a girlfriend is 11:51am, right before the Showcase Showdown.

Because he wants the same thing that the bad boys she was with prior did.

The 'nice' guy is just willing to wait longer for her to finally run out of better options than him and settle down. He has to compromise on that level because he is either less attractive, not as sexually skilled and/or less exciting than the average bad boy. He overcompensates for his deficiencies by playing the 'nice guy' card. Which inherently is not wrong, aside from the fact that the 'nice' guy lies to himself and the woman he pursues by acting like he is quantifiably superior to bad boys because he is 'nice'. The nice guy game is the only one that some guys can practically play and stand any chance of being with a woman (eventually).
