[quote name='Lina']Guys have to ask girls out 95% of the time. That's why we're less picky.
Plus, some girls will say yes to anyone... because they're desperate, or don't want to hurt people, or just stupid.
Are you simply basing your judgments on girls by their looks?[/QUOTE]
If you think about it logically, it's the total opposite. The fact that guys are traditionally expected to ask the girl out means it's in favor of the girl meaning she has her choice of the guys meaning she can be VERY picky in which guy she chooses. A girl will get propositioned by a horny guy 95% of her fertile life. Why? She, a girl in between the onset of puberty to menopause, will have qualities which are deemed attractive to the opposite sex - youthful skin, big breasts, firm stomach, etc. Why do think the cosmetic surgery industry as well as the cosmetic industry make so much money? Because girls are getting their skin done, their breast size increased, their hair removed, their teeth cleaned, etc. For what reason would they want to do that? To look attractive. Doesn't matter if it's for a guy or show off to her girlfriends. She just wants to look good. What's the consequence of looking good? Guys will flock to her like moths to a flame. Shallow? Yes but true nonetheless. The reason why a lot of girls seem standoffish and stuck up is that they've 'heard that line before' or 'been propositioned' by a lot of guys. It's old hat to a highly attractive girl. She can have pretty much any guy she wants. The reason why it always seems like the girls go for the bad boys is self explanatory as well. Women say they want a good guy with an interesting personality. Why do they go for the bad boys then? Because they already have an interesting personality. The good guy part is the part that they want to make over - to shape as they see fit. For example, when a guy is referred to as 'whipped' what was he before? From his friends' POV, he was this confident fun-loving party guy. From a girl's POV, it's a challenge to overcome. Who wants an already made good guy? He's boring since there's nothing to expect. He's predictable. No challenge. Nothing to make over. Girls love guys that will be good... but only after the girls've made the guys into what they deem good.
Now contrast that to a guy's situation. Unless you're a big name celeb i.e. whatever's the new flavor of the month, I dunno, Brad Pitt, or a pretty boy, a regular guy will not get any girls throwing themselves at him. It's the social expectation. Guy chases girl not the other way around. So when a guy DOES get a girl to prop him, he feels it's his lucky day. It's a rare event - the planets align, etc. So OF COURSE he's gonna jump on it (not necessarily sexually but he'll definitely feel good for a bit). He's not too picky since his options are limited. Guys got to fend for themselves (quoted from Chris Rock). So guys gotta take what we can get. It's only when a guy has build enough self confidence that a guy can start being picky and that a girl will even throw a glance his way since he presents himself as a challenge. A nice guy won't do that since he limits his options (subconsciously) by putting the girl on a pedestal and elevating her above his own self worth. If only the nice guy would realize that the girl would take him more seriously if he wasn't so humble and subservient. She will perceive the guy as brother material (or even worse, fall in the friend zone) and nothing more. The nice guy will continue to be nice to the girl but in reality she'll notice he's being nice to her only because he's attracted to her by the values he's tacked on her without actually knowing the girl's personality. From this viewpoint, you can actually see that the nice guy is actually more shallow than the asshole. The asshole at least doesn't hide his true nature. I'm by no means advocating being an asshole. Rather, I'm advocating that more guys have to realize the reason why nice guys finish last - they're really not that nice at all. Guys need to have more confidence. It seriously pisses me off seeing my gender lose heart after getting shot down once. Hell, I get shot down a ton of times and I like it that way. It saves me time, effort, and money spent on a girl who would otherwise not want my company - better to find someone who will. It's all a numbers game. Out of a hundred girls, there will at least be 10 who would be willing to go out with a certain guy. I used to prowl downtown Chicago meeting girls in the most unlikely of places: coffee shop, jazz club, park, library, train station, etc. because I'm a friendly outgoing sort. I'm not afraid to admit that I get shot down a lot but I will always get a girl. I'm confident of that. It's that confidence that propels me forward even after I get shot down. The reason why the OP thinks all the decent girls have bfs is that he's not willing to look beyond the scope of his vision. Beautiful girls are all around. I put out my arm and if I spin in a circle, I will find a hot girl who will go out with me who has an amicable personality. Don't put down your standards - that's settling and I never for 2nd best. But don't be afraid of giving an unlikely girl a chance either.
