Ladies Love Assholes?

I saw Hot Dog the other day and it got me thinking about the theory that girls love assholes. Usually I find it's guys who have trouble getting ladies that ascribe to this theory. They tend to think (or tell themselves) it's because they're "nice guys" that the ladies don't flock to them. I will say, there is SOME truth to this (although, lets be honest, it all depends on the girl, we're not one big hive mind...seriously, we're not...no, really), but I think it might be more that the more traditionally "hot" guys TEND to become kind of full of themselves and therefore assholes with women (there are, of course, exceptions). But even that is flimsy. Some girls like a challenge, too. They think they can CHANGE them. I don't know, but I just hate when guys say that, because in general I HATE assholes. I can only really think of the one (Hot Dog) that I ever dated. I don't even think I've KISSED any other assholes. They've all been pretty sweet, Sometimes stupid, but sweet nonetheless.

However, I will admit to having crushes on a few assholes. So I was thinking about why this is. Why guys like Hot Dog at all? I think the one thing that can be appealing about these guys is the idea that, although they're total pricks to most people, there are moments when they are sweet to YOU. Those moments are like little victories (I guess this goes along the "wanting to change them" theory). A looooong time ago, back in High School, there was this total douchebag that I had an incredible crush on. Let's call him AJ. (To be fair, I had like 10 BILLION crushes back then...oh who am I kidding, I've ALWAYS got 10 BILLION crushes!!) Anyway, so AJ was fucking MEAN to me (and many others). MEEEEEEAN!! But for a brief time we shared the same friends, so he and I were around each other a lot then. To make a long story short, one night I was talking to him alone for a few minutes and he's being kind of nice. Finally I asked why he was being so nice to me and he pinches my nose and says "I'm done being mean to you." (Of course, he wasn't, the worst of his meanness came later.) I was so frakking happy, it was ridiculous!

Now I'm not saying nice guys couldn't make me happy like that, but there's something to this total douche suddenly being nice to YOU. Makes it more exciting or something. Similarly, with Hot Dog, the moments we were alone and he would call me beautiful or say something really nice to me were heightened because they were surrounded by meanness. It's stupid, but there it is. But shit like that doesn't last and I'm glad I remembered I didn't even like Hot Dog in the first place. It's much better this way. I will always have a soft spot for him though, and I'll never be able to hate him like I should. But thank goodness I got past that! I'm MUCH happier now.

As for AJ. Oi. What a toolbag. We recently have been re-acquainted or whatever. We're civil to each other and I'm a crazy sentimental fool so the fact that I've known him this long and we went to High School together, kind of makes me not mind talking to him. But...well, he's a toolbag still...and really gross!!! I can't believe I LIKED him, liked him. hahahaha

Do YOU like assholes??

The End.
