Not all of us grew up with Baby Boomer parents who planned and supervised our "activities," who were overly-involved in their kids' lives, or who pushed their weight around up at the school for the sole benefit of THEIR kids. Heck, as a guy my age said to me recently, the only time OUR parents were up at the school was to vote.
Yeah, so what? I grew up that way too. We are talking about emasculation of young boys in America and the reason most men today living in this country are wusses and nice guys. Just because I grew up differently, doesn't mean I shouldn't care.

That's not the advice we give our eldest some.

Of course be nice and respectful of people, and a million other pieces of advice.

The one we harp on the most is wrap your thing up! Twice! He has a bunch of girls he dates, and does not want to settle down.

I must disagree. Bad boys have a confidence - a 'strut' as you put it - that no matter what he looks like, is going to make him attractive. A goofy nerdy but good looking guy who's all nervous and has no confidence is not attractive.

Yes, what you say is true for men but IMHO not for women. We like the strut.

Thanks - I wish I was still a teenager physically, as well as metaphorically. I don't you didn't meant this as a compliment, but I'll take it as such.

I just texted my my SO, asking if he is a "bad boy" or a "nice guy" and he replied "WTF are you talking about?"

Did I mention he doesn't spend time on internet forums?

Do you believe its right that people hurt others without concupiscence? Nobody is perfect and that is okay, I am not perfect either but hurting people who treat me well with malice is not one of my sins.
If she had called your mom a wh--re, shot your dog, and then stole your car after breaking up with you, THEN it would have been karma.

Just breaking up with you - when you stated in your post that you two just had fun together - for someone she liked better or could provide for her better - is not reason enough to wish this upon her or take pleasure from her poor circumstances. What do you think your karma will be for gloating?

You know what drives women away in droves? Negativity.
