Do Men Prefer Mean Girls?

We recently explored whether women are attracted to jerks. But is the same true for guys? A writer for How About We says women are "mean if we don't really want to settle down with one guy (but we don't feel like being 100 percent single)." Also, she adds, "We might continue the tradition of meanness if we’ve grown up with it in our own families." But is all this a turn-on for guys?

mean girl

Men’s Fitness thinks it is, for the following reasons:

1) The "Hard to Get" Factor: Just as Groucho Marx said, "I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member." Sadly, if a woman is not interested in a man, he might be more interested.

2) Men Are Commitment Challenged: If a woman isn't nice to a guy, it gives him an "out." Meaning he doesn't have to get married and have babies anytime soon.

3) Too Much Media: Pop culture portrays mean girls as sexy, and guys are confused.

4) "Mommy" Issues: If his mom was like Mommie Dearest, odds are he's looking for the same. Do you think guys prefer mean girls?

    I think men prefer nice, sweet girls that they can have fun with. Who wants a mean girl that is cruel to them and to others. Mean is not attractive at all.

    I don't see how. All the other guys go for the nice girls. Which means the hotter, bitchier, 'meaner' ones are never approached. They're just left to wander, and let every guys' gaze just be bestowed upon them like they're goddesses of some sort. Apparently, most guys don't see it that way because they're afraid of rejection, or whatever other reason may apply. It's all 'hit or miss'. Everything that happens when you try to get the girl that EVERYONE else just stares at, regardless of what happens, it's a learning experience...but hey, everyone is a critic these days. Also, I'm not thinking about meaner girls for any kind of 'life-changing' relationship. As I said, learning experience. So now, please explain how I'm fu**ed up.

    Hey douche bag loser of the year, it's simple to get a whore, whores are a dime a dozen. You think you are accomplishing anything by getting a whore. The kind of women you go after you can pay for sex. Try getting a decent girl, but why would a decent girl want a diseased ridden douceh bag loser like yourself.
  • ~Lionhe... Jarod K... 2012/06/20 06:04:23
    ~Lionheart~
    Bwahhaahahahh!! Whores, you use that word alot. I accomplish alot by getting the girls I want. It's hilarious how you deduce that these girls are whores, some of which were still virgins. If you're going to judge, at least be smart enough to do it correctly. I'm sure that all this jealousy comes from the fact that you couldn't get a decent girl, OR a whore when you were younger. It's pitiful in fact. Ugh!! I'd hate to be you. Disgust.

    They've got it all wrong. It is simply that men prefer 'hot' girls, and sadly a lot of 'hot' girls are dumb and conceited and are b!tches. The men want their bodies, not their personalities. And as for hard to get, you can still be hard to get and keep your distance AND be a nice person, it just means you are not giving yourself or your feelings away too easily, it doesn't mean you have to act like a b!tch, just be yourself and be happy and confident in yourself, without needing or clinging onto a man. That's all it is. There, the mystery is revealed.

    When you said hot girls what you really meant to say were whores. But in reality are very few so called hot women. There are very few women who look beautiful first thing in the morning upon waking up.

    Yes, that is the same woman

    No I don't mean whores at all. And I wasn't implying that all pretty girls are b!tches either, just that a lot are unfortunately. And having casual sex is not being a whore. And many women do look beautiful with or without make up, that's just a bad picture of her but she does look pretty without make up as well. And I wouldn't base things on what you see in the media because they play around with all their pictures, when they want to make someone look beautiful they touch it up, and when they want to make someone look ugly they play around with that as well. Nothing in the media is real, you'd have to see that actress in the flesh to be able to make your own opinion on whether she's attractive to you or not.

    Having casual sex is not being a whore? So if a woman has casual sex say once a month with a different guy and does it for say ten years that equals over a 100 men that she has slept with, but it can still be defined as only casual sex, rightz?
  • .: LiVi :. Jarod K... 2012/06/13 04:56:21

    Yep, that's right. :) I guess we have different opinions. But can I ask you, do you think men who do the same thing are whores? Or is it just women?
  • Jarod K... .: LiVi :. 2012/06/13 05:09:55 (edited)

    No, I call them douche bag losers. They are no better than the women.

    But you would be cool with a guy who has slept with say 200 women?

    Yes I would, everyone is different, everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do. Some of the stereotypes are true to a degree with a lot of people, but I try to reserve my judgement and get to know the real person first, give them a chance to prove themselves before making decisions. But you are right, there are a lot of sluts and players (man-whores) out there, but I will not overgeneralise every single person as either being this or that. I don't think they're all horrid people, I just think a lot of them are confused and haven't found much purpose in their lives yet and are still on the path to becoming spiritually enlightened.

    Hahaha everyone is on the same path to spiritual enlightenment, some are just closer to it than others. I believe that demons or evil was created by god to give us free will to choose to be good. Evil is part of god as well, just like everything else that ever has and ever will exist. We're all part of the same thing, we're all the same, the only temporary difference between people is where we are on our path to enlightenment and eventually becoming god in its ultimate form, and our souls are only temporarily seemingly seperate individual fragments in life. We are all the different parts of god. To hate and judge someone else is to hate and judge yourself as we are all one. That is what I personally believe most of the time. You don't have to believe that, just as people have a choice to be however they want to be. I just see it as everything that exists is a possibility that god created, and everything is redeemable at some point. Even if you dont believe all this crap, try and have some compassion for your fellow humans, they have souls too, they may not realise it themselves but they really are just confused and lost on their paths to spiritual development and enlightenment. You should sincerely sympathise with people who lead such sad, empty, meaningless, ignorant lives. T...

They are the ones missing out in life, not you, so instead of hating them have love for everyone sincerely. I know this sounds over the top and crazy but im speaking the truth, unrestricted by social norms and society's views and values etc.

    Oh, Jesus tried having love for everyone and look what it got him, they murdered him.

    Why do you think when Christ spiritually comes back it is with wrath and vengeance and yes even anger. Imagine that, but I don't think you can.

    Let me show you how the humans greeted love.

    passion of the christ

    But according to your theory, those were just men on a path to spiritual enlightment.

    Haha. You can see things however you like, I'm just explaining the way I perceive things. But yes, according to me, they are just men on a path to spiritual enlightenment. The most 'evil' humans are the ones furthest from enlightenment, and I believe it will take them many more life times to eventually reach enlightenment. As for jesus loving everyone, good for him he was right. If you believe in our souls being eternal, then being murderedwas a sacrifice jesus thought was necessary to achieve a greater level of spiritual enlightenment, self sacrifice by saving everyone's souls, including the enemies. Anyway I could go on and on and on for hours. My beliefs are not based on any particular religion, I dont take the bible literally, these are just my own perceptions on everything. All I wanted to say was, every soul is part of god, every soul is redeemable, and that evil was created by god, it is essential for our purpose in life because god wants us to use our free will to choose for ourselves, whether to be good or bad, whether to give up or carry on, whether to take a leap of faith and believe in him or not, there must be evil for good to exist, just like there must be death for life to exist. I'm rambling on way too much now so I will stop here. have a nice life, been interesting hearing your opinions and I hope you will one day feel more sympathy for others.

    I have to ask how your thinking came about? According to you, if you had a daughter and she was brutally gang raped, you would perceive those men as men who are on a spiritual path and journey to becoming better humans regardless of their acts?

    You seem to want to reject the the truth of humanity and all it's vileness. This time the spirit of Christ is saving no one, he's not saving the whores and the sinners this time, he has spiritually come back for revenge, with wrath and vengeance. When humanity looks to the heavens and says save us, the spirit of Christ will say no.

    I wanted you to know that I'm the guy in the FBI hat, so you at least know whom you are actually speaking to.

    Look, don't listen to me I ramble on a lot when I'm stoned. I've just reread everything I said and it does sound kind of crazy to someone who hasn't looked into all of that but I do know what I'm talking about, I'm just not articulate or energetic enough to explain these theories on this site. As for rejecting ugly bad wrong vileness and everything, all I'm essentially trying to say is that within everything that exists I believe there is a greater good, a greater purpose that is too huge and complex for us to understand, and that evil exists only because it is necessary, and there is purpose for it. Does that make much sense? And as I said before I think everything horrible and awful is a creation of god, and that ultimately everything underneath has the ability to be redeemed, maybe not in one life, but over many life times, who knows. It's all really just guess work. But that's just the way I see things. The reason people hate other people is because they are identified with their ego and being individual seperate forms, but once you realise we are all the same and are all one and reconnected after and before life, then there is no reason to hate, only love, because hating another person is to hate yourself, in my theory.

    But seriously, I appreciate your level of thinking whether or not I may agree with it. I especially liked what you wrote regarding whether or not a relationship is beyond repair.

    But I have seen the darker side of humanity and the worse of humanity. I have witnessed lifetime after lifetime the darkness humanity gladly accepts. I used to be the most forgiving person you could find, but there is a point anyone can reach that can forever change them.

To be endlessly forgiving is to be limitless.. yes well I was born in uk and moved to australia when I was 7 so mostly aussie:) yeah im going there on holiday at the end if this year. Its a shame though because the great barrier reef won't be there in the future. have you been to australia?
