Question:
ladies, what would you pick....?
2006-08-02 08:10:04 UTC
A man who is a gentleman, opens doors for you, dances well, is polite, gallant, intelligent and funny or a guy who only thinks of himself, treats you bad and is a womanizer?

Sadly women always seem to choose guy numer 2...why?

when a girl finds guy #1 she is uninterested...always finding an excuse as to the reason why she doesn't want him. #1 guys are not the easiest to find, because they usually have everything we're looking for but there will be one flaw. Then since they are so perfect we'll focus on that one flaw till it drives us crazy and we go for #2 and try to turn him into guy #1. (since he usually has that "flaw" from the #1 guy)

it' sucks

id choose number 1.. but to answer you question. SOME women would choose number 2 because they like to think that they can change a person from bad to good... they like the idea or the feeling that they were the one reponsibile for the change of an ****** to a new responsible, polite, gallant guy, which sadly... never happens...

Most women will say that they pick number 1. However, the average one sees number 2 as her number 1. There are few men out there that do not try to first convience us that they are the number 1 type of guy. It is only later that we find out that they are really number 2. Some women have a problem leaving by that time and so we see time after time women with the wrong men and men with the wrong women. This applies to men too:p:

Well I would (and DID) pick a number 1. That number 2 type is a real turn OFF. You can't carry on a conversation with them because they aren't talking to you, but "at" you. They can't even make eye contact because their eyes are always "roaming" around the room looking for more interesting targets.



Why? I'm not sure. I think it's a self-esteem problem. They feel if they can get a guy who "could have anybody he wants" it will make them feel better about themselves. It doesn't work that way though.

i would say that guy #1 is the kind of guy a girl dreams about ...when she wants to get married. but the guy #2 is just kind of exciting, different, adventurous...plus a lot of women have a complex of wanting to Change the bad boy into #1. =T... sucks huh? i would suggest to be proud of being guy #1. at least u know what u want! BE that awesome, good guy, with a good heart, treat women w/ respect. trust me, even if it takes longer, u WANT to find a woman who can see u for who u are, and Choose you, out of ALL the #2's out there!! why do u want a girl who chooses #2, over you?? =T..... there's no point. if a girl treats u badly or leaves u for something else, it's OK. don't let it get u down. find a woman who Wants to be w/ you, and Treats you with respect as well. someone who appreciates all ur good qualities... to find a woman like that will take a long time, why do u think it should be easier??? haha..... good things are worth the wait. be a man, and fight for what u want. but don't give up ur good and respectful qualities.



ps...here's some advice. being sweet and nice and polite is AWESOME..but what u also want to be is firm and able to make good decisions, and go for what u want. if u come off as wishy washy, or too flexible, easy to run over, girls won't like that. don't dominate ur woman, but be able to take charge. it's a fine line, but i think that's what every woman wants. that's why they'll go for #2's, cuz at least those guys act like they know what they're doing... #1's tend to be so overly nice they look like they have no backbone.

I would pick #1, but I don't think it is some kind of conscience choice about picking someone who is the #2 type. I say that only, because they tend to start out like #1, and eventually, or inevitably, seem to transform into that number 2 monster, leaving some women unsure how to get out of it. Sometimes even scared to leave.
2006-08-02 08:16:39 UTC
Because many women have been mistreated by men, that is what they are used to. I would difinitely choose guy #1. It is also a part of growing up and accepting that I deserve better. Also, women crave "excitement" that comes with the instability that men #2 come with. I am wiser and can't play games anymore.

There is a child in every woman that wishes to be dominated over.Thats why many choose number 2.But if you want a woman who is sane and secure in herself find one that likes the first man all the time and the second only sometimes in the bedroom.Good luck God bless:O)

Women pick number 2 because they don't see him like that. They see him as dangerous, hard to obtain, bad boy that we can work on and turn into #1. We all go through our number twos before most of us realize that number 1 is for us afterall. Then we wonder why he was so hard to find. I have been married to my number 1 for 14 years. I had to kiss alot of biker frogs to find him. ;)

When your young I guess the no.2's in life that come by, maybe ya quietly think to self that they'll change and be true to you. Just silly girl thinkin'. Now that i'm past all that stage in life, give me a number one type of guy, with bit get up and go of course, anytime! Ain't that right girls? Cheers!

where is this guy number 1 i have never met him. usually if he thinks he is the better choice then he maybe clingy and obsests or have low self esteem, guy 1 should stand up for him self a little bit and still be a gentlemen be proud that you have to offer those charectoristics not question why you didnt get that girl who is.....you know

You're right, it is sad. We all say we want a sweet guy but we all choose the guys that treat us badly. Why?? I think it's the "thrill of the chase" because, like guys, we want someone who isn't neccesarily falling all over us but actually is "hard to get."
2006-08-02 08:14:54 UTC
number 2 is easier to find. 1 takes some work. yet i found a couple number 1 but i let them go.but you learn later to hold on if you get a second chance in finding a number 1 again. yet its tricky.

I would choose whatever one picks me to be with them (hopefully it's #1)but be for real there is not that many guy's that are like #1 in the real world.And if your lucky enough to find a guy like #1then you must be the luckyest woman in the world.And if any one does find a man like that then please tell me where you found them at and what time you found them.

number one...the gentleman. but, girls will always be attracted to those 'bad guys'. not only girls. guys too. its some sort of like a challenge. it's like fooling yourself into thinking that maybe one day you will be able to change him and make him turn over a new leaf. though we know well enough that that will never happen. or very rarely it will happen.

I chose #1 and have been married to him for 10 years. No woman deserves to be treated badly.
2006-08-02 08:14:44 UTC
I would pick the guy who opens the door dances well and just a guy who would treat me well, I wouldnt want a guy to treat me badly.

Usually guy number 2 looks alot better or has more money or something!

2006-08-02 08:18:18 UTC
Because guy #2 is usually really confident. They act as though they don't need you, that you're lucky they chose you. It's flattering in a sick way. Also, they are exciting: are they gonna call? Do they really like me?

I pick man number 1...cuz i don't like men that are JERKS! I have gone through all that....I don't need another boyfriend who is gonna be a jerk to me.
2006-08-02 08:14:21 UTC
it isnt that people choose #2, its that #2 disguises himself as #1 until you dont see it coming
2006-08-02 08:23:25 UTC
duh, a gentelman is a rare thing in todays world, i like rare things, for some reason women think that if a man loves them he will change.not so a dog is a dog and the only thing u can do with a dog is spend a lot of time training them or shoot them.

2006-08-02 08:16:56 UTC

your wrong not all women chooses that kind of man,because as of me i have a great boyfriend almost perfect
2006-08-02 08:14:01 UTC
women want a bad guy that will change to become guy number one as a result of tem. i dunno its friggin twisted and like never happens. but i think its the case. you want a man to say "i used to drink and just scr#w any girl that came my way, but you are enough for me." or something.

i choose #1
sick of it all
2006-08-02 08:15:15 UTC
women who love, repect and care about themselves do not choose losers (#2). And if they discover he is- then they take care of themselves and get out.
