The Case for Good Guys

There is one thing, amongst a few others, that I don't understand, and probably never will. It's just one of those things.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why girls often/a lot of the time go for guys are terrible people, and completely will not look at guys that are actually great people.

I'm not talking about me. I don't know whether I'm a good person. I do try to be, but that's completely subjective and for you to decide. Anyway, being good doesn't really seem to get me anywhere anyway. I continually hear about how nice people are. When I say they're jerks, because I think they are, not just for argument's sake, they always get defended with phrases like "Oh, he's not normally like that," or "You just don't know him well." How well do you need to know someone for them not to be a jerk? I think the word 'nice' is now just a synonym for 'cool'. No matter how nice I am, it just does not seem to be appreciated. So I kind of give without expecting any sort of return, emotional, monetary, psychologically, or otherwise.

But this isn't really about me. Well, it sort of is. Except I can't really evaluate whether I'm a good person, so it's not about me in that respect. But yeah. I've just seen it with a few of my friends. They're great people. They're not bad-looking either. I mean that in a non-gay way.

But, for some reason, girls ignore them in favour of guys that are basically arrogant, shallow, unreliable jerks that aren't even that good-looking. Like, I can sort of understand when the guy is a spunk. That's enough for some people. Maybe there's something that I don't see in them, and girls do. Who knows. Certainly not me.

They're continually let down by these guys, but still find them awesome. Go figure.

I'll stop talking about girls there. I may start sounding misogynistic and sexist. I stress that not all girls are like that. I've just seen a lot that are. Too many, some would argue.

In other news, I've adopted a kind of laissez-faire approach. Whatever happens, happens. I'll focus on things that I can control, and hope some divine being makes everything else work out. Thanks in advance, divine being. Yes, I just assumed that you would make everything work out, Mr. Divine Being.
