Journal metlin's Journal: Women like Jerks. And nice guys finish last. 3
I saw this on Orkut. And this is the *most* insightful post I've ever read in my life.

"It's amazing that assholes can get girls. Actually, now that I think of it, it's not that amazing. They are assholes at heart, but to meet girls they lavish their undying love. IT'S A CHARADE. They act nice, friendly, and they listen... until they get into what they're after. Their prey thinks they are in love with them, however when they realize what assholes their predators really are, they pretend like the asshole is really nice inside. The girl tries to change the asshole into a nice guy, but assholes will always be assholes. She gets upset and goes to the nice guy to complain about the asshole. But she claims to love the asshole... now this is where the theory begins. She doesn't want to look like she is easy so she wont dump the asshole right away, instead she will stay with the asshole. Girls are idiots. They don't realize that the nice guy has been there all along. He never had to pretend to be a good guy to get girls because he is naturally like that. However, girls don't see it for some reason or another. They look at the nice guy as a friend, a trusted companion to whom they can tell their sad story to about their asshole boyfriend.
But the nice guy isn't THAT naïve. He was trying to score with the girl he listens to all along. The problem is that since he is a nice guy he keeps listening. Since girls get attached to things that pay attention to them, they think of the nice guy as a friend. A FRIEND. They don't say, "Oh he's hot" or "I want to have his children" about the nice guy, they just want the emotional support. When they get the emotional support from the nice guy, they don't need it from the asshole. The nice guy gets the shit end of the stick while the asshole gets all the action. I am starting to wonder if being a nice guy is really the route to take to get action... I have been down this path for all of my post-pubescent life and it has gotten me NOWHERE... at least not in the women department.
Perhaps another reason why girls fall for the asshole is because assholes ignore the girl they are with. The women wonder, "Why isn't he paying attention to me?" so they explore why. They poke and prod and get closer to the asshole. They start to get easier with each attempt to get closer. The asshole finally says, "I've let this beauty dangle long enough, time to boat this bass". It is then he puts on his charade and the girl feels like she has won him... even thought all she has won is an asshole.
Once you have gone down the path as a nice guy or a "listener" you can't turn back. The girl will always go after the assholes because there are always nice guys there to listen. Once you realize that you are a "listener" you cant do anything about it... just pack up and close shop. There is no way you will get into her pants... ever. There is and never will be a situation where the nice guy will get the girl he has a crush on. It just doesn't work like that. The girl wont "come to her senses" and realize what an asshole her boyfriend is like in the movies... instead she will just go after another asshole, and unless you stop being a nice guy, she will never go after you. Women complain that there are no nice guys in the world. Right. They are obviously not looking hard enough because there are nice guys EVERYWHERE!!!! Girls aren't looking for nice guys... they say they are but they're not. They are looking for the perfect asshole, but there is NO SUCH THING as the perfect asshole.
All in all, the nice guy gets the shaft. To all the girls out there with boyfriends that don't treat you with respect, that don't listen to you, and that don't care about you I say this; look next to you. The guy that has been standing next to you the whole time is the guy you have been looking for. He is what you want your asshole to be like. He knows more about you than you know about yourself... because he has listened to it all."

That, my friends, is SO true. And that is the reason why almost all guys end up being jerks. Because sooner or later, they realize that being a nice guy does not work. Ever.
It sucks, girls just want to use the nice guy, and they never really care for you otherwise. If you are a jerk, they say that atleast the guy is being being honest.
All the good deeds the nice guy does goes into oblivion the moment they even think you are not nice -- mind you, you may still be nice -- all it takes is *SOME* jerk to tell them that you are a jerk. And you are moot.
There is an old quote -- a man remembers his first kiss long after a woman has forgotten her last.
Remember, a girl will move on without caring for you, your feelings or anything else -- all she would care about is her freedom, her happiness, her priorities -- all that you did in the past is simply irrelevant once she finds happiness elsewhere.
If you do not want to be a victim of this, become a jerk. And you shall find happiness
Welcome to reality!

I wish someone would teach all girls/young women that there's no point in being with some guy (or even gal - hey, I'm open minded!) that you have to change. If he/she does not have the traits that you want in the relationship right away, then move on! Don't even bother.
And yes, people can (and do) change within the confines of relationships. As in growing and changing together! This is normal. But if you're thinki

Women (like men) go by feelings, who they feel attractive. The selector for "who is attractive" was shaped by evolution. It has a few components (somewhat overlapping, mostly boiling down to "this is an alpha male"):
