PUBLIC OPINION > Guys Don't Prefer Mean Girls

SodaHead Living 2012/06/13 16:00:00
We recently asked the public if women tend to go for jerks, and the answer was a solid "yes." More than two-thirds of respondents said women go for schmucks. But what about the other way around? Are they prone to the same lapse in judgment? Do guys tend to go for the mean girls? We took it to the public to find out.

Actually... No. According to the public, guys seem to steer clear of stormy weather when it comes to relationships. Sherry Argov's bestseller, "Why Men Love Bitches," may not be as applicable as we thought. The Top Opinion read, "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." But lets explore some demographics who disagree.

Women Have to Wonder

Obviously, women are less sure of man's wisdom. It was the same case when we asked if girls like jerks -- guys were far more likely to say yes. Evidently it's normal for someone to assume the opposite sex goes for bad apples, but we should count it as a credit to women that most of them aren't using that as an excuse.

As They Get Older

Unfortunately, there's a bit of bad news. People who are older are much more likely to say men go for mean girls. Experience, perhaps? Or maybe just cynicism. We should also add here that married voters are less likely to say men go for jerks, so that cynicism is likely from older singles.

California Girls

Location, location, location. We can't stress the importance of location in this poll. Though it's hard to get strong sample sizes from smaller states, the big-state breakdown had a huge amount of variance. Californians, for instance, are split -- in other words, much more pessimistic than the overall vote. States like Texas (38%) and Georgia (11%) had better odds.

If you'd like to vote on this question, dig deeper into the demographics, or engage in existing discussion about the topic, visit our poll about mean girls. We'd love to hear from you!

    There's no way in hell I would ever date a mean girl. I wouldn't put up with her crap if she behaved that way. I'm not so desperate that I'll date some nag who wants to browbeat me relentlessly day in and day out.

    Obviously not. Its probably why most Western country's birthrates are dropping.

    Lets get this straight and out of the way...


    Guys think like this.

    A guy wants a physically attractive girl, that is only natural. You can call it superficial, but whatever.


    The man will stay if she has a beautiful personality as well.

    If she has an ugly personality, he would hit it, and quit it.

    Looks would get you through the door, but personality will keep you there. Which is why men would have sex with a mean girl, but wouldn't be with her.

    Yeah tell that to my friend. He is the nicest guy ever who will treat his girl like a queen and spoil her and shower her with affection, yet the only type he seems to date are ungrateful, lying, cheating bitches. Such a waste of a good guy.

    Unfortunately, that tends to happen with younger girls/women. When you are young your options are wide open. If you are attractive you can play the field as much as you want. As girls get older then clock starts ticking. You get older, you start looking for security not fun. This is not meant as an insult to woman at all. This is just my personal obsevations at least in this part of the country. It doesn't seem like attractive men act the same. This is a society issue. Men can have kids any time. I think a lot has to do with self esteme.
  • Roxxi Tom 2012/06/17 07:52:55

    Yes that is true. But what I've noticed is that the girls who complain the most about guys being jerks are also the ones who treated guys like this. They messed around, hurt a lot of people and then a year or so later when I see them they're upset because no guy wants to take care of them and spoil her the way she used to, because she took advantage of all those guys. It's ridiculous.

    I just want them to wake up and realise that what goes around comes around, especially if you live in a smallish place where almost everyone your age group would've met or heard of each other.

    I've dated a couple of mean ass women , but they didn't show that side of the personality till after we were in a committed relationship . Needless to say when I did see that side I quickly showed them the door . Life is too short to put up with that. Men and Women alike should not have to put up that kind of mentality! Send the bullies on their way and maybe someday they might realize they need to change their behavoir.

    All I know is I have dated men who actually said they still loved their ex's even though they were lied to by them and or cheated on them and then left them with a broken heart. Needless to say I didn't date them long. I am no fool.

    The only reason a guy would like a mean girl would be if he either has self-esteem issues or if he just likes to bitch-slap them...

    Either way, I don't understand it -- it's too much trouble...

    Really? Then how come I can name five people off the top of my head whose girlfriends:

    1. Cheat on them.
    2. Don't speak to them if he as much as says "Hi" to another girl.
    3. Tells him not to talk to other girls.
    4. Checks through his text messages.
    5. Complain about him, talking about how stupid he is.

    And I try to be nice, so how come I can find a good guy?

    Gee, I wonder why anyone wouldn't want a nagging shrew of a wife? Probably because men have hated it when they've gotten stuck in that situation since before we had recorded history.

    Uhmm...of course, I'm a California Liberal...not a racist or sexist in any fashion...

    I've run into mean bitch's, it's important to not get bitter and hateful like a some guys do. I learned to just dump them and move on, but its very hard, if the relationship has lasted long. .
    Men are very loyal to their families and often sacrifice themselves in some way, in this case they would sacrifice happiness to stay with a bitch and keep the family intact. In other cases men are forced to abandon their families & go homeless in order to provide for them (modern welfare).
    Some people seem to thrive on constant conflict- the John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara movies are a example I guess. Personally I would dump O'Hara lol. Some people are just not compatible!
    Our lives are hard enough, I think we deserve all the joy and happiness we can find,
    and some women are plain crazy! There are sweet loving women, good women, wonderful women. I prefer to look after and sacrifice for them, and not suffer the sadism or bitchy nature of a FEW others.
