@Soulsparrer: To me, a "jock" is someone who is insecure about looking "manly" and is constantly trying to be macho. They usually end up driving drunk and crashing or getting in fights and ending up in jail. Two of my uncles work out a lot but that's so they can stay in shape and one of them practices martial arts. They aren't jocks at all, just people who care about their health.

I always thought of a jock as just an athlete HS or college age guy, sounds like what you're referring to is a "meathead" or "douchebag".

Well the idea that all girls date guys like that is dumb first of all, and the types of girls who do aren't the ones a guy with standards would want to date anyway. Plus for that matter some guys date girls who are b*****s just because they think they're "hot" so trying to just blame "women" out of spite or a sense of entitlement is pretty foolish.

I think guys who whine and blame women for not dating them because they're "too nice" are about as attractive as a stereotypical, man-hating feminist is to men.


Don't know if the rest of the post was aimed at me but please hear me out. To be fair on the nice guys who are genuinely nice, I can understand their frustration. In my culture, I was often told that girls like "gentlemen" and my parents as well as teachers and elders drilled that into my head. Yes, I had some social conditioning but I was also nice out of my heart. It can be very exasperating but looking back it was a blessing in disguise I didn't have a relationship with some of the girls I had a crush on since many of them either got pregnant or got involved with drugs. My older brother went after the "I am too pretty to do math" types and he ended up having a divorce, two cancelled marriages, and a lifetime of child support payments.

People tend to portray it as "black and white" - I think ideally women would like a guy who's a gentleman and respectful, but also "manly" and assertive.

A wimpy "nice guy" or an "abusive as*hole" are both unhealthy opposite extremes.


I try to be genuinely kind but I am not a pushover. There's nothing wrong with asserting yourself, despite what raging third wave feminists claim. It's not exercising "male privilege". It's just exercising basic human dignity. Third wave feminists fail to separate masculinity from machismo.

I don't the idea of spending most or all my free time lifting weights . I don't need or care to be strong and manly. Why is that so bad ? :cry:
