This little bit of advice will save you a lot pain when dealing with women.
Most guys dont know how to align themselves when dealing with miss right.

I will tell you a secret about the three of these personality types and why you only want to be one and why women find that only (one) type is the most attractive quality in a guy she is looking for.

What is a gentleman? First what is a toughguy/macho guy and why does this guy fail with women.

Imagine a spectrum line. To the far left is the toughguy/macho guy to the far right is the nice guy.

The toughguy/Macho guy will always fail with women just like the nice guy.
The problem with macho guy is he says the word "No" too often to his woman. He has been brainwashed by society. He somewhere heard that women dont like niceguys so he thinks, "OK I will be the opposite of nice". He may as well be this woman's prison gaurd. He misinterpreted the word "nice" and does just the opposite when nice really means to be an emotional challenge. He is not about SELF-Control which is one of the things women want, he is all about TOTAL CONTROL which no woman wants. He will have some sucess with women because in the beginning she misinterpreted his ability to say "no" as showing that he has backbone. She will leave him. When you think of a macho guy, think these words, DOMINEERING, CONTROLING, NON TRUSTING, SAYS "NO" TOO MUCH, INSECURE, DISRESPECTFULL TO WOMEN IN GENERAL, IS TYPICALLY A BLOCKER TO OTHER MEN. His not trusting attitude manifests itself into a self fulfilling prophecy with her. Combine this with his dumping off negativities on his woman as a one way emotional gas station and color her gone. We all know a macho guy. GUYS, NEVER EMULATE A TOUGH GUY SHE DOESNT WANT A TOUGH GUY. These guys are typically abusers of women. Prisons are filled with these guys. If he doesnt understand a woman, especially if she tests or uses "womanese" he gets frustrated and verbally or physically abuses the woman because he doesnt understand her language.

The nice guy. He's to the far right of the spectrum. The nice guy never says the word "no" to a woman. He's always too accomodating. He gives and gives and gives. He will fail with women. He doesnt get as far a macho guy does but ends up like him in the end, no woman. The nice guy doesnt understand the concepts of challenge and is probably scared to be a challenge to a woman. He thinks if she hears the word "no" she will leave. He
just says here I am, take me as I am. Nice guys dont abuse women, here its the other way around. Take the notion of the hen-pecked husband. He may as well be underdog saying "yes dear". After several failed relations as a nice guy he starts to think like the toughguy. "I will be the opposite of nice". Like macho guy he doesnt understand what "nice" actually means. So he too has transformed himself into something she doesnt want. What a vicous cycle.

Neither one of these types will change their ways until they have endured enough emotional PAIN from a woman. OUCH! How many years will these guys suffer before they understand this concept and change their ways?

The gentleman.

I dont know why when I think about the word gentleman an image of a guy from the 1930s with a black tux, a top hat and a cane come into my mind?
What is a gentleman? A gentleman is exactly what it says, Gentle-MAN. the gentleman falls right in the middle of the spectrum in between the nice guy and the tough guy.
The gentleman is a nice guy with a rough edge. He knows that saying the word "no" once in awhile when he really means it is the most important thing in his attitude and posture. When a gentleman does something for his woman and doesnt hear a "thank you" he politely lets her know it. Gentlemen look forward in dating to the first clash in the dating relationship, he knows he has to be ready for this test. He has to have the ability to not to take her back when she pulls a disrespect. He can say it without being mean,cruel or degrading to her. When you think of the word gentleman think: CONFIDENT, SECURE, SELF CONTROLLING, DOESN'T LET BLOCKERS GET TO HIM, (see post on blockers/helpers), CHALLENGING, RESPECTS WOMEN IN GENERAL. Opening the car door, holding the door open, pulling out her chair in a restaurant etc. are not veiwed as "too nice" traits by the woman. Being a Gentleman is never viewed by the woman as weak. You can still be a 240 lb linebacker and still be a gentlemen through your posture and composure.

EMULATE THE GENTLEMAN THIS IS WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS IN A MAN.

Do you think if men aligned themselves correctly that there would be:
a. fewer men in prison.
b. A lot less rejection of men by women ,(which leads to another set of
problems in a vicous cycle, i.e. marriage counsellors, men that withdrawl
all together, suicides, alcohol abuse, etc.)
c. successful relations for both.

Its important that we teach our younger brothers this,we teach our sons this, and we tell our buddys this when their stuck.

Dating: Honesty and Openess.(this will open your eyes).
Asking a woman out the right way.
Dating: Blockers and helpers.(which one are you).

Nice post, but fuck the game... Maybe I'll change, but at this point in my life I'm that guy that withdrew all together.

I'm not going to pretend to be some imaginary prince valiant that they all seem to think they can actually find.

Very well put! When I think of a gentleman, my husband is the first person to pop into my head. He tells me he loves me when he calls every day from work, he doesnt care what the other guys think. He holds doors, opens my car door, pulls out my chair for me, holds my coat, and shows affection in public, ( not so much people want to tell us to get a room ). I do get my way a lot, but when he says no, I back right the f*** down. Ken is fairly quiet and in 19 years hes only yelled back 5x tops. When he does yell, I STFU!
Too many women just dont know what they have till its gone and thats sad. Too many men are NOT gentlemen and I think most of us know that and we tend to shut down emotionally too. A true gentleman deserves a true gentlewoman as well.

Fantastic post. I have been both extreme nice guy and extreme macho guy, but now I have a healthy balance as a true Gentleman.

Umm, I'm not tryin to be offensive, but dude, why are you going totry to post on HERE what kind of girl a guy should match himself up with??? Thats pretty dumb. Becuase it doesnt matter if your dating a good boy or a bad boy, some people like'em good and some bad. What I'm tryin to say is, is that I know a girl and she's dating one of my good friends and she's a little goody goody prep. They've been together for years and he's never cheated on her or nothin. I also have a really good friend whos a bad boy and he's dating a bad girl. JUst goes to show that it doesnt matter how you act becuase your attracted to they personality, wether it be good or bad

It doesn't matter what style u are. As long as you are confident, and avoid the things women hate, you will be fine

1. Nerd (Socially Uneducated)
2. Mommy's Boy
3. Insecure
Doing things just to get attention
Cannot maintain eye contact
Nervous fidgety body language
Emotional
Talking negatively about past girlfriends
Hanging on to a women, or kissing their ass and asking for permission to do things
Not being in control in general


Personally, being funny and cocky worked best for me though, but it doesn't matter what style you are,, as long as you don't do #1,2,3 you will be well off. Input from women? Don't you hate #1,2,3?

I think the key is not style, it is acting secure of yourself, and not acting like that one girl is the most important thing in the world. If you become the selectee, not the selected, then it will help you. Once you realize that there are many girls out there and they want a man in control of themselves when they interact with the man, then things will change. There are too many nice guys out there for hot women, ... every guy acts nice to them. A gentleman is styled, but a gentleman should not be insecure, he should be cocky and funny? At the same time, thats how he portrays higher class and how he is more carefree than the others, never hang on to any individual ...

Yeah, and do what works. Remember, #1,2,3 doesn't work. Trust me, when I say this. I learned that from a girl-friend we were like best of friends and she helped me tremendously in terms of what women want, so believe it or not.

Well I'm an asshole!
I keep to myself till someone fucks with friends or family, then they are done!
I'll treat my woman good though, she puts up with ME!
Alot of people just don't get me and I don't care.
I tune out in public and just ignore everyone except my woman.
People tend to leave me be, LOL
It might be the tats though?
I never had a problem with women, they like bad boys just fine.
I would keep my bike slightly outta tune.
To be sure it was ready when we got home LOL
People are like puzzle pieces just cause 2 don't fit doesn't mean they are wrong.
They just don't fit together that's all.

See thats so fucked up. Why in hell do you like bad boys?? All they do is beat up and prey on those weaker than them. Those who like bad boys are stupid bitches. In the middle is what they should like. By the way the hip-hop generation is bull shit all these wiggers and wigger loving bitches are starting to piss me off. Also heavy metal sucks big time. Trance kicks ass. When will you stupid bitches learn.

I hate the game. The game is for idiots, I dont want a girl who falls for the the game because any relationship that comes out of it is going to suck in the long run. I prefer to let the women find me, and if they like me then i show them what a real man is like. Calm, respectful but not a doormat.

The thing is women are not as smart as men, I've NEVER met a chick as smart as me (well i should say smart in the same way as me because everyone is smart in a different field).

oh and also here is the phrase that hopefully will make the most sense.........act like you're superior to a girl and stil be nice to her and she will fall in love with you, the reason is because how is she going to know that you're not better than her? there is no way for her to tell, basicly she doesnt know any better....so use that and go pick up some women.

I quit playing games a long time ago. It's really quite pathetic if you think about it. Bad boy, nice guy, gentelman . .. putting on a front to impress. You are who you are, just be, and you'll attract what suits you best in the end.

That's been my experience, anyway. I'm an odd sort of guy, and fit in no catagory as far as I know, but I like the loons! ;)

Nah believe me most women are pretty stupid when it comes to picking their guys. I can't go through a single day without seeing a girl with a guy and thinking "she likes this dude....wtf".

For me as a woman...your right on target...but just make sure repect is there also...and I prefer gentlemen.I detest bullies and mentally weak men..I like my husband in control and he has the final say but he treats me like a lady and with respect.

I agree with you Shelbay. My man is a former bad boy, ex biker-vietnam vet. Now he is the perfect gentleman. He has the utmost respect for me as I do for him. What comes around goes around. And it's about time it came around to me. I waited a long time to find a really good man. Sounds like yours is a winner too! We are blessed. :) :dance: :stoned:

I am attracted to the shaved headed psycho looking guys who mostly have a bit of a temper.Maybe its because I think nobody is going to fuck with you when you have a rottweiler by your side but being a redhead I can be a bit fiery and test the patience of a saint so it usually starts going bad after a while.
Can you change the type of person you are attracted to?

See that there is why women are so fucking stupid. What is wrong with them? Don't taht just piss you off? Why in hell do they like bad boys or tough guys that treat other people like shit and sometimes treat them like shit? SO FUCKING STUPID!!!!! Three words could sum up women.....shallow, picky, stupid.

Sometimes it seems taht "rocket science" would be 10 times easier to understand than women.

Oh yes, it's far better to put on an act! Especially for long term relationships, lol! Actually, if you're looking for some ass, then by all means, play games til your hearts content, but if you're looking to date (relationship) It's best to be up front, and just be who you are . . Otherwise, you'll have no ground to stand on . . .
