Sounds like a Paula Cole song. But I was asked this question yesterday. "Where have all the good guys gone?" It only took me a few seconds to answer this one. So why did the number of good guys decline to where they're an endangered species? What happened? Well I'll tell you. What happened is that women have low self-esteem and allow themselves to be used for sex. What happened is beautiful girls became stuck-up and think they can treat guys like crap and not give guys a chance to even talk to them. What happened is girls take guys for granted when they do nice things so guys stopped doing nice things. What happened was girls said they wanted nice guys, but then would dump the nice guy and go for a jerk. What happened was that nice guys realized they could get a lot farther by treating a girl like garbage than by being the nice guy. What happened was the saying, "nice guys finish last" became more and more true.
The old-fashioned American family has been dying a slow death over the last few decades. An astonishing 50% of marriages end in divorce. And that statistic doesn't even include couples that stay together and are miserable their whole life. More and more children are growing up without a father. This hurts young boys, but hurts young girls even more. Girls that grow up without a good father-figure in their life have a very high probability of developing daddy issues and having low self-esteem. I could make up statistics, or you can just believe me. Girls that grow up without a male father-figure reassuring her that she's beautiful, that she's worth something, that she is a princess and should be treated like one questions her beauty and self-worth. Girls that don't have a good father reassuring her of these things will look to other males to get this recognition. The problem is that guys sense this weakness and take advantage of her, which further damages her self-esteem.
As society becomes more and more vain, it appears to have an effect on girls that are generally "more attractive" in people's eyes. These girls, and even guys for that matter, think they are owed something because they are "beautiful". They think they are better than other people simply because they have a different bone structure. Being stuck-up is a quality in a girl that I loathe and won't tolerate. The girl can be the hottest girl in the world, but if she's stuck-up, I wouldn't waste my time even talking to her. So being stuck-up can just turn a good guy completely off.
I hear girls complain all the time that there are no nice guys. And I've never heard a girl say that she would rather date a jerk than a nice guy. But you know who always gets the dates and the relationships? The jerk. The problem is that most nice guys are too nice, which can turn girls off, because girls want a guy who is dominate, not a doormat. I understand this. There are few nice guys that are the strong type. It's usually too nice, or too jerkish. But the problem is, is that a girl will see a super nice guy, and instead of giving him a chance and toughening him up, or training him, she uses his niceness for a while, and then tosses him to the side. And then a jerk comes along, and gets whatever he wants, and many times the girl whill buy him stuff, and that relationship seems to last longer than with the nice guy.
All of these, plus a few other reasons has really turned the nice guy into a cynic who has realized that being nice to girls really has less and less advantages. They've come to realize that being nice gets you a really cool spot in the friend zone, far from the winner's circle. So I ask you some questions. How many nice guys have you not given a chance to? How many shy guys have you looked past? How many nice guys have you put into the friend zone, when they really wanted a chance with you? How many guys have you had sex with early on, just confirming that it's ok to use girls for sex? This is why there are very few good guys.
