So you don't look like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp or Harrison Ford or George Clooney.

So you really aren't all that much of a " nice " guy, but you can be a GOOD guy.

This is the thread for those of us who are kinda...non handsome...only nice occasionally...but are actually the GOOD men that all the women seem to be looking for.

Bring it on, gents.

Let's show the ladies that there are some really good men out here, if the ladies would just stop looking for the ' drool factor '.

:tongue:


You know, J.A.G., I think this is a good idea.

Not everybody is a matinee idol (or a manatee idol, which is an entirely different thing), and there are those of us who would simply like to be appreciated (i.e., worshipped, fawned over, etc.) for our less epidermal qualities, such as they are.

The irony: apparently, all of my less epidermally-based qualities are now, for reasons unexplained and inexplicable, "intimidating."

Ah. The loophole, the cop-out supreme.

Do they even KNOW what they want?

Or is it just that they DON'T want anybody who makes their brains work over and above LCD level? I don't know. I'm just a writer. Writers don't know nothin'.



Hey now, I'm a writer too. I know little, but not NOTHING! grumble


I'm just using that as a hyperbolic device. I've probably done it a trillion times.



I know. I was being a brat. laugh



Again, the "drool factor" is in the eye of the beholder.


Exactly. It's going to be different for everyone. Of course there's going to need to be attraction, but again, that's going to be different for everyone. For me, there's a lot more to it than just looks.


EXACTLY! I may notice a guy first because something physical stands out (sadly, that's usually his style for me more than anything), but on that second glance, RIGHT away, he very well may not be attractive to me after all. And once I get to know him? That makes or breaks it BIG time.

The truth is, writers know more than anybody, otherwise they couldn't be writers.

But I could be biased.

Yes. It is.

It's not a generic thing.

The people that know me, including you Jessi, know that I realize that. lol

But, as has been said before, there are a whole lot of really good guys around here. The problem is that they are not appreciated because of some random ' drool factor ' that they just don't seem to have.

I knew that I was pretty much gonna get drilled for starting a thread like this. I knew there would be a bunch of ladies coming in here saying " Looks aren't that important ".

But we all know that looks ARE important.

No matter who it is, no matter what they claim, looks are definitely important.

BUT. They aren't everything.

The whole idea of this thread is to let the ladies know that guys like me, who don't really have a ' drool factor ', but have a lot of the qualities that they say they are looking for, are around.

If a lady thinks a guy is " kinda " cute, and she takes the time to talk to him and get to know him, and as a result, realizes that the ' drool factor ' is secondary to having someone that can make them laugh, stimulate their mind, and could very well make them exceptionally happy...then the thread has performed it's purpose.

I know that the ' drool factor ' has to be there at least a little bit. But what people seem to keep missing is the fact that, even if the ' drool factor ' isn't high at first, personality, humor, kindness and many other things can make someone more attractive that they first seemed to be.

I created this thread with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek.

But there is also a somewhat serious idea that was involved in making it.

Take it for what you will.

But if he's not all that attractive to you o that second glance, what ( and be honest here ) are the chances that you would take the time to get to know him?

Well. We have to work on that whole ' nice guy ' thing.

We aren't ' nice guys ' around here.

We are the GOOD men that women say they are looking for.

If you can promise that you'll work on that, I can allow you into the club.

Nice guys are whiners, don't aspire to be a nice guy.

The nice guy is the one who let's people walk on him, under the mistaken assumption that he's being " nice ", and then complains about getting walked on.

The GOOD guy is the one who knows exactly who he is, is totally comfortable with it, and can accept the fact that things don't always go his way.

He's a lot like the ' nice ' guy. Except for the fact that he has a spine.
