Meeting Women

There's something I've observed remarkably often. If an attractive woman is unhappy - it's usually because she's in a relationship.
Unusual as that statement may sound, it often seems to be the case. The reason I believe this is the case is because beautiful women tend to end up in relationships with men who bow to their beauty.
A beautiful woman wants a man who can support, look after and above all - be a man. She doesn't want everything under the sun, even though she may ask for it. She just simply wants a real, dominant, confident leader who'll treat her fair without bending to her every whim.
To use a metaphor, look at it like a game. If a game is too easy, you'll play it for a short period of time - then get bored. If a game is too hard, you'll play it for a medium time and get frustrated. The magic blend is a game with medium difficulty which will allows you to play for along time while rewarding your effort. That's what women want from a man. They don't want men to bow to their beauty and become too easy and boring.
Next time you see a beautiful woman, notice how she's feeling and then find out if she's in a relationship or not. You never know, maybe I'm completely wrong on a large scale and my statement is only true for the women I've come into contact with. I'd love your findings and opinions so please go ahead and leave a comment.

As to the comment: "on very often you'll hear a girl completely contradict herself. She'll say something about feeling a little bored with her boyfriend, usually something along the lines of "He's a great guy and he takes good care of me, but...... I don't know...... something's not there!""
Love needs 3 elements: commitment, intimacy and passion. Sounds like in that case, passion is missing. And yes, that's why some nice guys fail, because women need fire in their lives as well.
Very good point. I don't condone complete emphasis on looks and it's perfectly understandable why that may turn you off. I often look at is like this:
Men looking for women: 80% looks 20% security
Women looking for men: 20% looks 80% security
It's normal if you feel insecure about a man who only has your looks to heart since the security may not be fulfilled.
Nice guys fail but I always take pride in the fact that nice guys only fail once. After one event a nice guy usually expands and becomes more confident with himself to recognise the flaws he may have exerted.
Excellent comment Tasha.



I'm going to go on record as saying this is my second favourite post to date (after understanding women).
As mentioned before, I work as an English teacher and a lot of my students, especially in one-on-one conversation classes, are females of a similar age to me. I've noticed that women do seem to take great pleasure in discussing relationships (be it their own, or that of their friends, or even mine), so very often the topic of conversation deviates towards this issue (I don't mind, I get paid anyway) :P. I was particularly impressed at how you (correctly) identified that what a woman SAYS she wants is usually totally different form what she REALLY wants. "She doesn't want everything under the sun, even though she may ask for it", is a perfect summary of this fact.
To further validate your point, very often you'll hear a girl completely contradict herself. She'll say something about feeling a little bored with her boyfriend, usually something along the lines of "He's a great guy and he takes good care of me, but...... I don't know...... something's not there!" or "He takes good care of me, but I don't want that..." etc. Then, low and behold, within a few minutes she'll be talking about a friend's boyfriend and she'll be saying how he's not so good to her friend and so on.
I also think your metaphor was pretty good (it is all a bit of a game reall, perhaps more in a literal sense than as a metaphor)! I have to say I liked Mystery's Cat theory metaphor too.
So, I suppose that's all I have to say really. Keep it coming dude :)
