Why do women treat the good guys as a consolation prize?

How unfortunate that women think that way, yes.  But I don't abide by that whatsoever.  I wanted a good guy from the very beginning.  The only thing that made me go for teh bad boy instead was the lame reasoning, "you're too good for me".  Of course, the same generalization can be said for men too.  "All they want are women that put out". \nBottom line, I think good guys are wonderful; and I'm sure many women would agree with me.  So they're not flashy like corvettes, and are more like honda Civics.  ^^ Get a beautiful honda, you'll be so glad you did.

I know how you feel. It seems no matter how much you do for them or how well you treat them they still disrespect you, show too little appreciation, and there never seems to be enough of a  balance, or reward in the relationship for men. IE women take more than they give and think about their own needs more than their partners. I can't give up though because I want to be happy with someone and will keep looking until I find that woman who gives as good as she gets

It's not hard, but it seems to me from my experiences that women say they want one thing then actually go after another....\nI'm yet to meet a woman who would go for a genuine nice guy over an asshole who treats them like crap, maybe they just need something to complain about to the nice guys they just want to be "friends" with...

Never, women now a days live by what's on TV or what they heard on the radio and not by there hearts. If a women see the realness in someone it scares them away. I'm yet to see women appreciate a good man. Women tell you that there looking for a good man but totally want the opposite. \nGood luck appreciating a thug.

I think a clue could be with your username. It kind of indicates that you like the "bad boy" type. The majority of those are not going to treat you well. Guys like myself are good guys who the bad boys don't have the guts to mess with. You need to find one of those...We always treat our women extremely well and you have all the fun with none of the drama...Lol.  ;)

Women really want a good man that will love them , respect them, treat them as their equal, and be a MAN! They want to feel appreciated, not used and abused. Women want the kind of love that they have seen in movies, where the man "adores" her, and cherishes her. They want a small token of man's appreciation, like flowers, or candy once in a while.

because women like them better than someone who treats them decent. i guess they see it as weakness. i cant make myself be abusive so i dont get the girl. dont bother sticking up for her either, they somehow get offended by that.

Here here! Mike, you have a very good point sir. I've noticed women start out young picking the abusive, hurtful, untrustworthy bad boys while blowing off the "good guys". Years later after being used and abused they're ready to settle down with a nice guy and expect us to be like we were. Sorry ladies. While you were off being stupid, we were busy being rejected, damaged, and "just friends" in the interim. You want the best of both. You want to have your fun and then settle down when you're ready. Then you complain that there are no good men left. Now you know why. \nWe had patience waiting for you to smarten up. Now you have to have patience while we're learning to trust you again.

They treat you nice in the beginning to bait the woman in then once they get comfortable the real jerk comes to life.The reason why some men do this is because if they really were to act like themselves, they would never get any sex!!!!

If a guy is being abused, it's because he's letting her do it - same as for women.  You have the option to not hang around.\n\nThe reason they say that is because young women tend to go for the "bad boy" - a guy that will be bad to everyone but THEM, so they can say they "won" by changing him - but older women know that is all a fantasy and a lie.  There is no such thing as a bad boy who can be changed by a woman to good.  When a woman learns this, they go to the nice guys who have waited patiently for the women to grow up and figure this out.

I agree with you. People that think money is more important than how they treat people get what's coming to them.... They're probably trying to attract the best looking female they can, but very shallow if you ask me

sweetheart, it is not that they don't want the good guy first ...sometimes you just can't tell the difference. unfortunately for women, there usually are no flashing lights and ringing bells to let us know that the guy is one of the as..... out there.

I admire men who have good control over their impulses and demonstrate good charactert their strength is an attractive and admirable thing.  I think very little of women who have to resort to offering sexual favors to get what they want. Being smart, clever and respected is far more effective. (unless you are bribing your husband to take you to the ballet..that is an altogether different matter and great fun.)

Some people are just great con artists-jails and the White House are full and of them!! Some guys, unfortunately think that women are just a token for their manhood, a notch on the belt; the more notches the more they can brag to their buddies! Some guys do it because they need to fill their egos by fooling and hurting unsuspecting women. These guys as well are just creeps too! There are no explanation or excuse for these low lifes!!

Sometimes to spare the feelings of thew woman they are breaking up with. sometimes to make themselves look or feel better about what went down.

Yeah, pretty much.\n\nSome women delude themselves that can actually "fix" bad boys. That's why many women like bad boys. They like the challenge.

A lot of woman say this all the time, yet they end up with wrong kind of men all the time.  I don't think it's a coincidence.  \n\nBasically here's the deal, and I'm basing this on what I have learned from my 25 years on earth.  The nice decent guy is not noticed.  Yeah, nice guys finish last a lot of times.  It sucks but it's the truth and the truth hurts. \n\nAlot of woman see the nice guy out of the corner of their eye, he's going about his business, working his 9 to 5, trying to be a productive member of society, but he tends to blend in so he doesn't get noticed, so again and again women like you fall for the a-holes.  It's a vicious cycle.  Good luck, though.
