Two: like PPs have said, there is a lid for every pot.
This is OP. Okay, so I do feel a slight tinge of jealousy. Some of my girlfriends and I have actively dated looking for a long term match and are good "well behaved" girls and its kind of a slap to our faces to see someone not care about any of this and wind up with what seems like a really good catch. It makes me wonder like, if guys like him want former partygirls, what will happen to us?

Guy here. I have female friends who speak like this. None of them are the catch they think they are.
They never are. "Put together," "following 'The Rules' (lol), "preppy," "well-groomed." No guy worth a shit gives a fuck about any of this.
Look good
put out
shut up
It's that simple.

Men just need a pretty lass by their side in order to look good!

Anonymous wrote:Another guy here. OP, a lot of guys simply want a nice and honest person to be around. Girls/women like you think you're nice, but you're not really. Go back and reread your posts and answers on this thread. Imagine it were someone you knew talking about you, rather than you talking about "your friend." How would you feel if you thought someone was talking about you like that? Behind your back? To strangers? Definitely not nice behavior. It's also bad that you not only do this with strangers but you also talk about her behind her back to mutual friends. How would you feel if you found out that a group of your mutual friends routinely talked about you and your relationship and thought you were beneath the guy, that your beau was a catch that you didn't deserve? And frankly, while you seem to think you're a nice person, not only are you not a nice person, but a lot of guys can tell. We can usually tell the high maintenance types who talk about others behind their back, cluster like a group of vultures and talk down on others. And for many of us, your type is definitely not our type. We may not catch on right away, but most times we'll catch on before we make the ultimate mistake and marry one of you.
Although her looks may have gotten her the first drink, date, etc, it's her honesty and simplicity that made her date-able. I could never date someone like you and frankly, most of my friends, both the single and the paired up ones, have avoided your type. We stay away from the pack animals that prey behind their backs on those they think are weaker or more unfortunate .

I come from a conservative religion (no alcohol, no premarital sex, etc) and stuck to most of those values through my 20s. I literally would complain to my guy friends (after making sure I had no chance to date them lol) that I'm a good girl I follow the rules I should get a man... blah blah blah. At one point I said eff it all, and started to really throw myself into life. I travelled alone and did things most "good girls" in my community wouldn't dream of. The other good girls shunned me, and lo and behold that's when I found my husband. But it's all coincidence! He happened to have recently ended his marriage, and our paths crossed. Meanwhile the other "good girls" went on for a couple more years single and then started to break out of their shell, and now they're coupling up too.
People say "relax, it'll happen when you let go!" In reality, it'll happen whenever it's supposed to happen, and you might as well do whatever the eff you like in the mean time and full enjoy yourself.
