Title: New Syndrome
Post by: frullic on 09 Mar 2008, 21:20
I'm doing a project on a bad problem I found: I call it: Bergerac's Syndrome. Basically, the girls say you're cute and sweet but want someone LIKE you instead of you. The name was inspired on an old french play about some guy with the same problem. Any help would be appreciated by the geek community and the church of gaming...

I do hate the "nice guy" whine. Every boy I've ever met who whined about that usually pushed girls away himself. Either that, or had impossible standards.

Girls don't want a guy like you who's nice and sweet, they want to want a guy like you.
They always go for the badass in the leather jacket, smoking cheap cigarettes while leaning on his noisy motorbike. They want a dude who'll blow them away, a dude too cool for them, a dude too cool to say 'dude'.
You'll never get anywhere with ladies until you learn how to punch a guy out in a bare-knuckled match, until you learn how to smoke a cigarette in the rain while striking the perfect pose on a shady street corner, until you learn how to siphon gas so you can top up your bike for free.

Break the law, break a window, break your fist, break your life. Then you'll be attractive.

Nice guys who bitch about being "such nice guys" are usually not. They are whiny jerks, who can't man up. I mean, I don't want a guy to be a douche to me, but if you are going to let me walk all over you, I will. If you whine, I will treat you like a whiny child(which means we won't be dating anytime soon). If you are nice to me, but also let me know when I am being stupid, you are the guy that I am going to want to date.

I've always thought the 'nice guy' problem should be renamed to the 'whipped guy' problem. There's a big difference between being a doormat and being pleasant.

I am just going to stand over here and smoke my cigarillos under the cover of my wide-brimmed fedora while it pours rain on my black leather jacket.

If you ask me it has nothing to do with being whipped, and everything to do with this:
Every boy I've ever met who whined about that... had impossible standards.
"omg the head cheerleader won't go on a date with me, life is so unfair!"


ADDITION: This is reminding me, I just realized today that I'm pretty annoyed at my friend who told me Transformers was a good movie. If you've seen the movie, you will understand why it is relevant. Also, this anecdote is relevant because I had already made up my mind not to waste my time with that movie, and then changed my mind after hearing it was good from a pretty girl. pathetic

Fedoras look pretty lame with black leather jackets, man.

Crap, I hadn't even thought about what I was saying.
I guess that is probably why I am still single, I can't co-ordinate my jackets and my hats.

Exactly.

In summation: you found something everyone already knows about and it's a bunch of bullshit anyway.
