Take your cat and leave my sweater

It has recently been brought to my attention by my new little Irish friend, Pat, that "girls only go for the (ahem) jerks." My argument is simple. If it seems that girls only go for the jerks, then that means that you only go for girls that go for jerks. Yes, some girls are stupid and masochistic, don't care much about what the guy feels, or even what she herself feels, but those girls are few and far-between. Although there are indeed many exceptions, most girls want romance, adventure, excitement, and affection. They want a guy to have enough strength and courage to be traditional. Girls don't want to feel like they're doing all the work to get a relationship going, and they don't want a guy who sits back and hopes the right girl will happen to walk into his path. They want a guy who's confident and secure with himself. Girls want the ones who'll bring a flower to her work, or call at night, or surprise her with a simple note in the mailbox, or under a windshield wiper. Unfortunately, most of the guys who fit with all those characteristics usually turn out to be total pricks in the end. Besides, "going for the good guy" won't get you anywhere anyway. Things will start out great, you'll be happy and there'll be romance and smiles, but before you know it, he'll be denouncing his emotional side in favor of detatchment and apathy, and all the apparent glory that ensues. So bring any girl a mix of the "good guys" and "the pricks" met in the middle, with all the good attributes of each, and I promise, she'd fall for him no matter what.
