So many guys complain that girls don’t actually want a nice guy, they want a jerk. There are books, investigative news reports, Web sites and songs devoted to this theory. I don’t deny that there are some girls who are drawn to guys who treat them badly, but I also think that guys claim they were rejected for this reason because they don’t want to take a deeper look at their behavior.
Love Game (I apologize for the Lady Gaga-inspired title)
Whether casual or serious, current or former, people play games in their relationships. It makes dating complicated, disheartening and exhausting. We do things to make the boy or girl on whom we have our eye jealous. We say things we don’t mean, exaggerate and flat-out lie. We employ behavior we frown upon in others. All to get something out of a relationship.
