**Lux Fist?? Hey now. This is the SDMB, not the BDSM.

Doh! Typo! Honest!

Understand that I’m not talking about normal decent people who don’t get dates because they’re shy. I’m talking about people who act in a certain way (note the word “act”) to get a mate. At best, their relationships are like scripted plays. At worst, they end up resenting an entire gender because their hard work isn’t paying off. **

I entirely agree- I think we’re saying similar things actually.

I was saying that IF someone is going to play a role/use a script/whatever, the “nice guy” one is probably better, because it generally only hurts one person, and it’s themselves. The “Diabolical Asshole” on the other hand tends to jerk the other person around more than themselves.
