A day to day acount of the whacky and wonderful world of Muggaz - i tend to be having too much fun these days, and often cannot remember moments due to debauchery - its time the internet repayed my loyalty by recording my antics.
Confidence and Assertiveness
Published on January 28, 2004 By Muggaz In Personal Computing
If I hate one thing about the internet, it’s all these over sensitive naïve f00ls that think if they are sensitive towards females on the Internet, they might score… I suppose it’s not just the internet, its true in group situations as well, it just pisses me off more on the Internet.

I am a member of a few forums, and I see the same thing all over the place.

Some guy will post an article on how he is disgusted that some guy treats some girl as a trophy or whatever, and how he is really nice, and really despises that kind of behaviour blah blah blah.

These guys are all the same – they are the perceived ‘nice guys’ that don’t get any. As the age old saying goes – nice guys finish last… I guess you could say I used to be 100% nice guy… but I kind of woke up.

This may sound ridiculous, but I have actually put a lot of time into practical research. I find human interaction extremely interesting. I could sit at a coffee shop for hours and just watch the people interact. I will be honest here… the reason I find human interaction so interesting, and have put some time into ‘research’ is because I enjoy interacting with chicks! Very much so.

We all know that guys are assholes… lets face it… let me try and explain the logic though. Maybe the girls of JoeUser can jump in with their perspective (I know you all read my blog girls… hehe)

The most attractive aspect of any male to most females is confidence. The fact is, assholes have confidence by the bucket load (or they are so insecure they put a façade on – nonetheless it works.) They are really comfortable around girls, to the extent where they will ‘tease’ the females. This sets of a trigger in the girls mind… especially attractive ones… I don’t know about you guys, but personally, I have found insecurities are a female’s greatest weakness, and they need to be told they are beautiful ALL the freaken time… this is where the Wussies come in… The nice guys are the ones that turn to mush and break out in sweats. They buy the drinks, and lay on the compliments… come on boys… as if she hasn’t been bought a drink before, or told she is beautiful.

The assholes tease the gorgeous girl… this girl is used to being told she is this and that… and as soon as she is teased… this triggers the insecurities she has… And she will do anything to impress the perpetrator… asshole scores.

Example…

Extremely hot chick in bar… walk up to hot chick, and you seem to recall seeing her somewhere before…

Guy – have I seen you somewhere before?
Girl – maybe, I have done some modelling in the past (if she doesn’t say this – suggest she has maybe done some modelling, or something - wait for the catch though)

Guy – really? YOU!??? have done modelling? Oh yeah, they are kind of nice hands, in a jewellery catalogue or something?

By now, the chick should be in hysterics, or would have just cocked her nose up at you… if she cocked her nose up, she isn’t worth the trouble. Either way… you should really walk away at this point… in theory, this girl will be following you around all night, looking at you… you have succeeded in intriguing her. Make move at own discretion.

I have seen this work on several occasions…

Guys… ask any girl, and she will wish that we were more assertive. How many times have you made great eye contact, smiles, winks… and never had the guts to go and speak to the girl…? That used to be me… Just take control of the situation, and strut.

I know all this because I have carefully noted this down in my brain… I love observing social situations. Psychology is the key to everything.

Don’t despair nice guys though… If you just aren’t the type of person to ‘strut’ girls will find you...eventually. I can tell you right now… the older women love the nice guys… this is because they are mature, and aren’t as insecure as they were in their youth… Guys who aren’t really successful in their teenage and early 20’s tend to be the ones with the successful marriages with the happy home and kids… and if you ask me, in today’s society of failed marriages, and un-happy homes, that is a lot more valuable than how many chicks you scored when you were a stud in your youth.

Who wants an insecure chick as a girlfriend anyway? unless you are a hedonistic f00l (I own up to that) they are of no value whatsoever. Insecurities equal pain – for both parties. It’s kind of a viscous circle. Nice guys, how many of your female friends (who you want to bone) whinge to you about their boyfriends who are evidently the assholes we speak of? I put an urgent call to you – do not let this happen!!!! Because they don’t learn from their mistakes until much later… you are the shoulder to cry on for the time being, but no sex for you.

It’s the same with the ‘let’s be friend’s line’ all the chick wants is another guy they can manipulate for drinks at the bar, or rides to their boyfriends house. Seriously, if I wanted another friend, I would be like ‘hey, will you be my friend?’ I have enough friends as it is, and I aint gonna be friends with no chick I want to bone. Chicks I don’t want to bone make awesome friends though… this is easy to decipher, they will go rounds with you at the bar, this isn’t to say that this chick isn’t great or attractive, its just that they have morals, and don’t manipulate guys for their $$$.

Hopefully I have made a few people really angry… if you are angry, please share your thoughts… I am a thought provoking guy, but hopefully I have opened a few people’s eyes… Of course I know this is not true all the time, so please refrain from pointing out the bleeding obvious.

All I am trying to say to the ‘nice guys’ out there is that you don’t have to be an asshole… just be assertive. Know what you want, and if you don’t get that, move on.

Peace Out

I used to think the same thing -- that nice guys finish last.

But as time has gone on I've figured out the real issue: CONFIDENT guys finish first. Assertive guys. It's just that jerks tend to be more assertive than the casper milk toast nice guys.

A guy who has sufficient self confidence, a sense of humor, and is nice is going to score chicks.

In my experience, the girls you can get by being a jerk are not the kind of girls I'd want anyway. I'm a nice kid, and I'll give you this- in the interest of being 'nice' I've had to pass up some very...legitimate... offers- but the bottom line is that with a reputation and history of being able to be trusted, I'm going to end up with a higher-quality girl than any jerk could ever hope to snag.

So my years of niceness are... money in the bank, as it were.

Yes as Brad said sense of humor is key, add confidence to that and you got it made. BUt you're definately right in that women dont like push overs.
on Jan 28, 2004
Wow... Brad agrees with me... maybe now he wont write of everything i say as non-sensical jib jab...

Thanks for your comments guys...

Mmmm... the psuedo guy you discribed is an asshole. Yes, it is true women liked to be complemented. Who doesn't? BUT not all the freakin' time... it becomes overkill. In other words: If complements are being thrown around they become taken less seriously. Personally I rather be told the truth when I ask an opinion on my appearence.
Example:

Me- Do these pants make my legs look like two tube- sausages?
Guy- They are a little tight, but it makes your ass look booty-licious
Me-
Guy-
Me-
Guy-
*****Censored****
(1/2 hour later)
Guy-
Me-

*Smirks* I know I got carried away. Seriously though... if the truth is being told more often than bullshit, then the real complements are more meaningful.

For me sense of humor is the key! Sure when we scope someone out we take appearences into consideration first..... it is only natural. Hey, he may be a pretty-boy, but if there is nothing upstairs, it is like having cake without frosting. You gotta have the Main 3: A sense of humor, brains, and confidence. It makes everything more attractive.

There is a fine line between Cocky and an Asshole.
Cocky: self-confidence, gets what he/she wants, self-sacraficing, considerate.
Asshole: self-confidence, gets what he/she wants not caring who gets hurt

Keyword: consideration...
Ever see an asshole step down gracefully when they are wrong?

I am getting on a tagent...
Success is slow and steady.
Point being: Nice guys may finish last, but they get the better woman in the end.

Thanks Karen... I thought the female population would bight my head off...

Of course looks matter... and you cant choose who you are attracted to, it just happens!!!

I like your main 3... some of the most beautiful people in the world just do my head in cause they are so stupid... i.e. David Beckham... really good looking guy (if you dont know who he is, just go to google) he would do well to just shut up... idiot...

I agree with you. I tend to not go for the nice guys either. In fact, I can't honestly remember a single guy I've ended up actually DATING that was a categorical nice guy. Not on purpose, either. Wait, wait, I did date a nice guy very briefly. The sad thing is, I just couldn't handle it. I'm used to assholes. I know how to deal with them. I know how they work. It's the other ones that confuse me. That's why THIS hot chick dates asses, I don't know if that's true for any other babes, but it is for me. Besides, when they give compliments, they mean ten times more because an asshole wouldn't waste his time giving a girl lines to get in her pants (yet again, the ones I've come in contact with). Usually they're like, I don't really care what you're saying or what you think, but you're hot, let's go fuck. Of course I'm offended if they say they don't care about me INTELLECTUALLY, but I like to hear that way better than "Your eyes sparkle like the skies. You're effervescent" when he says it to every damn girl he meets.
Damn I'm off on a tangent, too!
Oh, also, tip from the English Major, Mugz, you wrote "viscous cycle" in one of your paragraphs. You meant vicious, i hope, cause viscous means syrupy. Syrupy cycle. Hehe

Complements have to be dealt very sparingly. Women are suspicious of being over complemented. But if it's sincere and sparingly, it has a powerful affect. Particularly from a guy who is self-assured.

Women like men who are comfortable with themselves. That is the source of good humor, sincere complements, and self-assuredness.

Whilst a syrupy cycle would be interesting... thanks for the grammatical assistance. Know it all

Isn't it funny, that when you want nothing to do with a chick, but you haven't blown her off completely, she wont stop harrasing you?

i.e. i have a chick now that is after me... really quite avidly, but if i were to act upon my sexual urges, i would probably be up for a statutory rape charge... I have told this girl that i just cant sleep with her... yet she persists... some girls just cant take no for an answer huh?

or maybe its just me..

i've been there before bro... they get obsessed... it's like they've chosen You as the one that they want to be their first... and they won't take "no"... no way... i'm sure the whole thought of being resistable prob'ly bothers 'em...

stick to your guns and don't give in... or at least wait til she's 18 hehehe

Ah... Young girls... soooo outrageously do-able

Your words of encouragement make me want to go on another day

Thanks

I know you are correct in most of what you say - Im interested in psychology myself however have a conflict I can not understand with a chick. Hopefully you'll have some more insight for me. I have boned around in my day and am seeking a slightly deeper relationship now. The problem with my chick is that she is secretive, doesn't really say what she means, and leads many guys on. I am wondering firstly what is her dilema, and secondly how do I help her get over this. You may not respond to this, but its worth a try on my part seeing as to how a psychologist costs about $120 per hour which could better be spent on a dank bag of marijuana. Help me out if you've got the insight.

I am wondering firstly what is her dilema

Ok dude... there is no dilema... she is a chick... Its her perogative to be vaigue and secretive, and leading guys on.

One sure fire way to keep this chick, is feign dis-interest... we both know your interested, but dont put up with her crap... If she leads you on, call her on it, if she flakes out on an appointment, you have to let her know you are just not another guy to be walked over.

Girls find Men who know what they want extremely attractive... I bet she has guys she leads on all the time, and when she bails, they say "thats ok, blah blah blah" This is your moment of oppurtunity to crack the whip... You are a person as well, and you dont have to put up with it... She has to know that you are secure with who you are, and if she messes you around, she needs to know you could just get up and walk away...

I hope i have been helpful!!!

BAM!!!
