Confessions of a Romantic Male

Guy's do not have a clue about relationships, or women. I'm just gonna throw that one out there.

When we're growing up we don't get much experience of how to act around girls. Were just taught to play football with our mates, or pretend to blow shit up with our Action Man.
Unlike girls, who are expected to dream about their Wedding and Baby plans from when they're 2, guy's don't get much help in figuring relationships out.

Me? I thought I'd figured it out. I was wrong.

And once again, as is a familiar pattern in my blogs, I blame Disney.

When I watched Disney films, and just generic love films, when I was younger, I always saw that it was the nice prince who got his princess.
It's always the geek who gets the hot girl in High School, by expressing his love to her and showing his true feelings.
And there's always a guy who bursts into a wedding at the last possible second to tell the bride how he truely feels about her, and then they rush off into the sunset.

I was influenced a lot by these films, and in all fairness, I wanted that.
I wanted to be the underdog geek who won the girl by telling her the truth.
I wanted to be the prince who fights until his last breath for the girl of his dreams.
I wanted to have my own love story.

However, life doesn't work like that.

For years I thought that's what women want. A sensitive, cute guy who respects and loves them with all his heart.
In reality, they desire the opposite.

Girls want a strong, arrogant motherfucker who will ignore them, or a guy who doesn't give two shits about boring romantic feelings and instead only cares about drinking and having fun. It's not a bad thing that they want these types of guys. In fact, it's just natural selection.
I just wish that I wasn't pointed in the wrong direction from a young age.
Causes me a lot of hurt.

This is the truth:

Cool bastards will forever get the girl, and nice guy's will always finish last.
Which one are you?

  1. To be honest, even from an older age we're dissuaded to think about relationships. Our Dad's advice is just "Fuck every girl you see" and if we ever look at the relationship problems in a newspaper then we're labelled as a pussy"

  2. Advice for any guy looking for a girl, or even in a realtionship: never, ever show your vunerability or your true emotions to the girl you like. It's not attractive.

  3. I'm with that arrogant guy you speak of. I'm wishing to the opposite. Truth is girls don't know what they want.
    They want the guy who will treat them like a princess (who wouldn't?) but they dont want it to be easy. It's all a game, easy is boring and requires little effort. With the guy who fucks up all the time and acts like he doesnt want her, something in our brain clicks. Like "what! why doesn't he want me? I must make him want me." truth is the guy is always gonna fuck her over.

    You need a guy who is the geek who loves and cares for you, but he needs to hold back give a little then give nothing to leave her wondering why, she tries to get his attention by giving to the relationship and then he gives back she's happy then he needs to pull away again.
    Sad but true.
