Nice Guys vs. Jerks: Which do women prefer?
Dwayne Conyers
not nice guys. Well, admit it or not, it is true.
In my experience, on those occasions when I've behaved like a complete
Neanderthal, the women I was with couldn't get enough of me. I had to
dodge their phone calls and one actually would sit in fr
ont of my house waiting for me to come home. The more I chased them
away, the more they clung to me.
When, however, I acted myself (nice guy), I never could get past the
second date.
I am considering a compromise ... to behave like a Cro Magnon.

Look I am sick of this thread here is my stance, it's the women period.
If all women knew is that they have been treated like dogshit then they
act this way, they do not know what is it like to be treated respectfully.
Yeah I know the "challenge" or the game, but is it really a game when you
think the guy is all that but you wind up with a busted cheekbone or the
girls is a complete slut.
I am not mad nor have been burned, it's the women you deal with, my rule
is this, they will get treated RESPECTFULLY..not nice RESPECTFULLY if they
find that too diffifcult or would have much more fun bithcing about how
their man is this and that.. there is the door, don't let it hit your butt
on the way out. Look at the omens behaviour and actions, never mind thsi
"Iwanna be respected, treated right" I f the ACTIONS are like of utter
malice and disrespectful to you...RUN.
Thsi only applies if the women respect you in return, for me, I f they do
not show any respect to me, let them know, if it happens again..BUH BYE

Last one I had was marinated- well, pickled to be more accurate. Not the

From what I have heard, jerks are better with hot mustard, barbeque, and
sweet-and-sour, while nice guys are better with nacho cheese, teriyaki,
and sour cream and onion.
Just thought I'd see if anyone had any experience with how they are
when marinated and/or breaded...

Tangent - do you think they've been overhunting the Nice Guys and Jerks in
recent years? I mean, if they didn't thin the herds, the NG's would run rampant
and quickly overpopulate the region, causing a resource problem and damaging the
environment. The Jerks would do a pretty good job of self annihilation. But I
don't know who is right - the folks who argue that we must thin the herds, or
the anti-hunting contigent.
Last night was Jerk Beefy. It was spectacular.

New York's Department of Environmental Conservation has been doing a
good job in managing the nice guy population around here after there
were complaints of increasing nice guy populations at local malls, bars,
and other expected habitats. In my opinion, the "bait-and-shoot"
program did not meet expectations. Leaving copies of "Chicken Soup for
the Soul" on empty park benches for nice guys to linger over were usually
picked up by nice girls, and few of the designated shooters had doe
permits. A better success rate was accomplished by leaving poisoned
Ranch Doritos around the self-help sections of WaldenBooks outlets.
The question of self-extinction of the jerk population is somewhat
questionable due to the problem of the definition of the two extremes.
Investigators of this question have found that there have been cases
in which self-proclaimed nice guys were in fact jerks, a contention
somewhat supported by random DNA testing. Such protective camouflage,
while also seen in other species, was not too apparent until recently.
However, this question is only germane to those in the processing
and packaging industries, where FDA regulations stringently prohibit
the sale of packaged jerk product with no more than 5 percent of
nice guy content, and vice versa. With the end of the Cold War, there
has been an influx of Eastern European jerk and nice guy product which
has been added as filler to the standard product mix. While this has
been beneficial to those who have a tendency towards Jerk Stroganoff,
the traditional dishes such as pate a nice gai, or jerk a l'orange
heavily favored in French cuisine have suffered by the lack of
stringent product standards.
Population trends to this point are currently favoring the development
of innovative stir-fry dishes. The all-too common moo goo gai nice and
jerk lo mein are being supplanted by the Szechuan, Hunan and Cantonese
dishes such as jerk with garlic sauce, Hunan nice guy, and curry jerk
with onions.

$800? That seems pretty high to me. Is that via California, or
straight to Seattle? Seems like airfare would be cheaper - last
time I looked, you could pick up a Seattle/NY roundtrip for
around $400..

*blush* I was about to admit that you were the first, but then
upon reflection, I did get the first "marry me?" from Sheba as per a
post on suicide back in March. Of course, *that* story would make a good
sitcom ("you mean you said what and she said WHAT??")
I remember asking several people as a result of your proposal
what it actually *meant*...just so I wouldn't screw it up again.
The nice thing about e-marriages is that with the link that is
forged, there is the feeling inside that somewhere out there, no matter
what goes on with one's own life, there is someone who is in agreement with
a part of one's life. The sheer power of the warm fuzzies created by this
is more than enough to get you through anything.

Amtrak runs to the West Coast, and found round trips to Seattle were

So, what are the odds? And have the women been betting heavily in
favor of one or the other? Where will the contest take place and how
will a winner be established? Most inportantly, do we have the names
of the Nice Guy and the Jerk who will battle it out for the love of
all woman kind?

That's utterly ludicrous. You could take a plane for not much more than
1/2 that. Unless you're really into seeing the scenery (to the extent that
you can see it from a train) and spending time in transit, it doesn't seem
to make much sense to take the train at those rates.

There's a Caribbean restaurant a little up my street; when they run out of
chickens they sometimes do a special on jerk jerk. It isn't bad. If I ever
decide to splurge on a decent Continental-cuisine place and try nice-guy

I cannot understand why women are so strongly attracted to men who will
treat them like crap. I'm a pretty nice guy, yet I see women going with
all the jerks around. Sure, most of them say they want a nice guy, who'll
treat them well. But they really go for the jerks. Why is this?
Oh yeah, it also really helps if you're buff. Buff jerks get the most

Some of their trains do.
I took a sleeper train from Chicago to Philly when I moved there. I
*love* sleeping on a train and thought this would be a nice way to
make the transition to a new home. I wanted more time to prepare
myself for the next phase in my life than a two-hour flight would've
given me. I got a sleeper compartment, and it was lovely having my
own little room with bed, etc. A far cry from sleepers I took in
India, that's for sure.
For a quick trip, though, I'd probably fly.

Ok, time for one of the worst puns ever.
A friend of mine told me about his travels through India.
At one point he got on a train, and thought he had found
himself a nice sleeper cabin. However, the train conductor
told him he'd have to find another, because that part of
the train was for women only. My friend claims to have
responded: ``Do you mean to tell me that this berth
is actually a Miss-carriage?''

I wonder what the stats would look like if you compared the

sneaking suspicion that the train would be a lot safer.
When I bought a car six months ago I was quite conscious of the fact
that I'd probably just significantly lowered my life expectancy.

Cute. But unlikely. These days, the trains are strictly and
completely co-ed; I shared one sleeper with a Sikh officer and his
next-in-command; shared another sleeper with about five Europeans of
both genders; shared another with an elderly Indian couple ...

You both seem to be judging the world of "women" by these particular women.
Don't you think there are any women who are different? If not, I'd recommend
celibacy!
Now, do you really want to date a woman who would go for a jerk? If so, your
self-esteem is in need of repair.
My rule is: Any woman who goes for a jerk is a jerkette.

There's an obvious explanation if you think about it.
Let us suppose that the incipient quality of Jerkness[tm] and the "Je ne
sais quoi" which causes women to flock to men in droves are completely
independent genetically.
Guys who have JNSQ (acronym plug) will tend to have women interested in
them no matter how they behave. This reduces their incentive to behave in
a reasonable fashion. Whatever their inherent JerknessQuotient
(henceforth referred to as JQ), it will not be mitigated by the desire to
be attractive. They will appear to be bigger Jerks than guys with an
equivalent JQ but no JNSQ
Works for women too -- haven't we all heard the lament about how "The
prettiest ones always seem to be bitches."?
It's certainly not universal, and it seems that I've thankfully been
blessed with selection criteria which flags an appearance of overall
bitchiness as frightfully unattractive -- to the extent that I find many
women normally considered "guy magnets" utterly repulsive.

"Now do you really want to date a woman who would go for a jerk? If so,
your self-esteem is in need of repair."
"My rule is: Any woman who goes for a jerk is a jerkette."
As a woman, I agree with these statements. I personally would never
put up with someone who treated me badly and to be quite honest, I
do not know any women who would.
I read the posts in this newsgroup on a regular basis, and I always
wonder where these men are meeting these women? Are they purposely
going after the trashiest, most insensitive bimbos they can find
because their own self-esteem is really low? It seems to me that
women who date jerks obviously do not feel they deserve better. I
think the same can be said for men who only go after the jerkettes.
The bottom line is most men are jerks and most women are jerkettes. If
you are neither, your chances of finding someo
ne who is a high quality person is low because of all the jerks and
jerkettes out there. I think everyone goes through their share of
"bad apples" before they find their soulmate. The important thing
is to keep looking and never give up hope the person exists.

strange that this unusual thread should be here the very same month that
playboy addresses the issue of jerks v. niceguys in the playboy advisor.
to wit:
q: [...] Why do women prefer jerks who treat them badly? Even worse,
who do you think they complain to about Jerk Man? You guessed it. Help!
a: [...] So when does a nice guy's luck turn? The moment he stops being
a schmuck. If you're hot for a woman and she doesn't respond except to bend
your ear, find a smarter woman. [...] There's probably a nice girl in the
wings of your life waiting for you to stop whining about all the women who
think you're a nice guy.

I haven't seen this yet, but you tactful people were probably concerned for
my virginal eyes, and cleverly did it while I was looking the other way.
I have a great DaBoink group shot, which (if there are no objections - speak
now or your Supreme Court appointment will never be safe) I will make
available to interested parties for a mere postage-and-printing dollar. It
shows everybody that was there except me, plus half each of two sculptures,
and some paintings that aren't worth mentioning. SWILL and HURL are making
fuzzy wuzzy snugglies _right in front of God and everybody_ too - ew! I'm
so glad the camera was the disposable kind, it would have messed up my good
SLR.

I like your analysis.
This is the reason the best people are people who have something about
themselves which inhibits their self-esteem just a little bit, or who have had
some pretty heavy duty suffering in their past (from which they emerged
triumphant with a healthy self-esteem but a deep compassion and tolerance for
others, and did not become cynical or jaded).
I have noticed that really really attractive women do tend to be a bit haughty.
That is a damned shame, I must say.

I agree. I would add that it's important to keep an eye out for red flags
(little hints that there's an incompability, hints that we tend to ignore out of
hopefulness). Also, don't date anyone who isn't marriage potential (if marriage
is your ultimate goal, that is).

Are you sure that they are all jerks. Can you define what it is that
these jerks do that makes them jerks?
Here is what's going on. Women prefer confident men who can project
their self esteem. They are also turned off by men who are mushy--that
is, men who fawn over them. Men are sexual suspects...if a man seems
overly eager--a woman might well suspect that he's more interested in
sex than sincere in his attraction to her. If a man makes a big deal
over being around her, he might scare her off.
BTW...get out of Alaska! As I understand it, there is a deplorable
male to female ratio in Alaska!

How does this statement follow those? Personally, I don't think that most
are, depending on where you're *looking*.

This can, unfortunately, be true but not necessarily. How you *look* for
someone can affect this. If that's your only goal, you can be focusing on
some things and not the person as a whole.

When I was in high school a common saying was, "I wouldn't kick her out
of bed for eating crackers." I guess it all depends on what else the
