Do Nice Guys Really Finish Last? Why Some Girls Are Attracted to "Bad" Boys

Marie Dubuque
You're a good guy; you know you are. Yet, when there is a girl you have your eye on, she almost always looks right past you to the guy who exudes "badness." He's obnoxious, sometimes vulgar, and never ever treats women the way they deserve to be treated. Yet time and time again, these over-the-top, play-by-your-own-rules type of guys seem to always get the girl.

A good example is Charlie Sheen. His bad boy image didn't develop overnight. The women that he married must have known early on what they were getting themselves into. Yet they married him anyway. This same scenario plays itself outside of Hollywood all the time; over and over again. So how's a nice guy supposed to ever meet a nice girl? Well it does happen, but guys listen up; You have to be patient.

Look for girls/Women Who are Mature

It doesn't matter if you're 19, 39, or 69, you have to look for a mature person. And it has nothing to do with age.Women mature at different rates. Sometimes they reach an epiphany early. Sometimes it takes several failed relationships with "bad" boys until they realize the drama is not worth it. So, you need to look out for these women. And as for the ones who aren't there yet: Forget about 'em.

Everyone, men and women, eventually come to the same conclusion: "I need to be treated with dignity and respect." Once t hat happens, people start opening their eyes to the possibility that nice people are not boring people. That you don't need drama in a relationship. In fact, drama is a bad thing.

Demand to be Treated Well and Never Waiver

If you demand to be treated with kindness and compassion, the people you date will treat you that way, and the relationship will be based on honesty and trust. But you have to set that bar early on, and be prepared to weed through a lot of toads before you find your soul mate. For instance, if you get stood up on the first date, don't forgive and forget. Dump that person right then and there. If she cancels plans more than once, same rule applies. Basically, if you set the standard high, so will they.
