  • All men are the same (my question to men)

    as said by men.
    Seriously, I didn't say this! :o
    I've talked to many level headed guys and of course not so level headed, bias girls. They all seem to have the same idea about men: no matter what, one thing will never change about men! (Well.....actually one day it will, obviously because like...... MARRIAGE, but even then sometimes it doesn't end.) anyways
    So let me stop confusing you and explain myself.
    We broke up.
    No one was dumped because it wasn't even an option. I found out he was cheating and never intended to let either of us know (me and that sorry excuse for a girl). We were going have sex for the first time (with each other) that very week when I just HAPPENED to find a pic of him kissing her (it's scary to think what would have happened if I didn't find that pic). I shot off a rocket of questions and received the most half-assed answers. Where had my sweet, eloquent boyfriend gone?!?!?! We just stopped talking after that and with her around, there is no need for me. It's not that I feel I was left, it's just......well when you have 2 and one starts to have problems.......there's always another one. I'm no fool, I know the logic of the game.
    The thing about it is, it's the 3rd or 4th time this has happened to me. Actually, I'm always unknowingly the "other woman." ..........always. -___-
    I'm not tooting my own horn, but I'm always the more attractive of the two. I'm the more intelligent of the two. I'm the BETTER of the two. I know I'm a catch. Do you wanna know how I know? I made myself that way. For 18 years I've been in training to be perfect (not in a poser way, just like physically attractive and skilled in various forms. everything else is pure personality) So, it's like I somehow, unpurposefully, lure guys away from the girl that got their first. BUT, they want to try to be sly and have both. no no no no, I don't play that game.
    Why!? Why do you need 2(or more)? If the first one isn't good enough not to cheat on, just leave and try with the second one!


    As great as I'm TOLD I am (and I'm told that I'm secretly fantasized about haha), I feel super unwanted lately.  I know HE was wrong, but I feel like it's all my fault. If i was prettier, if I was smarter, if I was more fun.......he wouldn't have done it. (but then none of that makes sense cause the other girl is not at all easy on the eyes AND a druggie). I feel like if guys hurt me, leave me, whatever, it's all because I wasn't good enough to keep their full attention. I wasn't good enough to be the only girl they want.
    My brother says that it's because he is young and guys are stupid like that when they're young. (even though he's almost 23. i mean still young, but old enough to know better). My friend said it's 'cause I go for the wrong guys...(umm what? the kind that are attractive, smart, well-rounded, and then months later reveal that they"re assholes?) yep, i sure have my standards ALL wrong.

    SO (more to the point)
    I talked to some guys to try to get the male perspective and these are the answers I got.
    "You could be the most beautiful girl he's ever seen and he still would have done the same thing."
    "Yea. we don't know why we do it either. One is obviously better, but we just........yea"
    "Guys have feelings and stuff, but we can't fight the physical."

    and here are some quotes from my past various guys:
    "You see! you see how much of a bitch she is to me! I can't understand why I like her instead of you."
    "I don't understand why I'm feeling this way, but I just love her too."
    "I like you both and your personality is way more fun and you're beautiful, I just can't break up with her."
    "I don't trust myself. You're great, but I know I'm going to cheat on you"

    Just like you, I'm kind of wondering where the question is. I guess there isn't one. BUT, there is one thing I've been wondering a lot.

    Guys, young and old, do you regret it? When you're thrown back into the single life (or just having hard times with your current bitch lol) and you remember that one really good girl you had and messed up with, do you regret letting her pass you by? Do you ever wish for one more chance?
    Cause, ummm seriously. Even famous women get cheated on by not so famous guys. You would think they would be feeling pretty fortunate and not fuck it up, but they still do it anyway =/

    Him and that girl, I don't see how they could last (especially with him being so willing to cheat on her). I'm just wondering, when he looks back on it. Will he regret betraying me and letting me get away? I hope he will, because I regret it too.

    Oh geez all men are the same, really! When they are caught, they give lame excuses like 'you put me in a situation' or 'I'm confused, and it just happened'.

    Honestly I think they do it just for thrills, and so they could brag about it.

    You are so much better off, and you don't need me to tell you that :)

    Aaactually, I wanted to tell you that all men are NOT the same. There ARE decent guys out there who won't take you for granted and mistreat you that way. It just so happens that you are a nice, charming, intelligent (among other positive traits) female who meets the wrong guys, for whatever reason. It's not even your fault--you're not actively seeking these jerks, after all! But you know what they say, it's twice as easy to meet a jerk than to meet a nice, decent guy, simply because the bad apples are aplenty.

    My only suggestion is to keep your chin up. Naturally, the next guy you meet will have to work a little harder to earn your trust, but please DO NOT punish him for what these asses have done, which is to shake your faith in men and make you lose your step.

    I've met plenty of these types of guys--they're everywhere, like... bugs! But among all that, I've also met many different types of guys who have been fortunate enough to be my good friends, some of whom I eventually wound up dating. Those were the happiest times of my life. So keep it real, and hang in there! He's out there somewhere, and you just have to pick out all the weeds first :)

    Oh, and may I just say KUDOS for breaking up with him. It must have been difficult to let go of someone you care about, but good for you for being strong enough to break it off. And you're even more admirable, because I would probably be in jail right now for kicking him in the babymaker if I had been in your position...

    Guys are complicated creatures... I'm not sure i'll ever undertsnad them. Some of my male friends mess about- I'd hate to be the girl on the receiving end. A shame really because there are some great guys out there with the not so nice girls and vice versa
