nice guys and bad boys

 In life we tend to divide men firmly into two camps: Nice Guy's and Bad Boys.

Nice Guys as the name implies are 'nice' but this is often perceived as not being exciting enough by women. These guys aren't perfect and have many of the annoying habits of men, however they are pretty okay with their emotions, willing to be in relationships and uncomfortable with hurting people. They tend to call when they say they will and have a lot of respect for the women they're with.  I think that where Nice Guys tend to get pushed into the 'friend zone' is the lack of chase. They aren't overtly ambiguous about how they feel. They aren't, however waiting for a woman to come along so that they can roll over with their legs and feet in the air panting.

Bad Boys are the men that get laid, get loved, get chased and get respected. Misguidedly. They don't have to make any effort to get women and live by the treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen philosophy. Bad Boys know that they're bad even if they won't admit it. They often lie and cheat so that they can do as they like, which means that the women on the receiving end of their BS end up being messed up emotionally. There is a lack of respect with a Bad Boy, but they disrespect you whilst smiling and giving you good sex. They hook in women; they get them dependent on the drama that revolves around them because that's what many women associate with love.

There's another man between the Nice Guy and the Bad Boy - Mr Unavailable.

A Mr Unavailable is a man that is emotionally, physically, or spiritually unavailable. More often than not, the type of Mr Unavailable that most seem to contend with is the emotionally unavailable. Through a set of circumstances and experiences, Mr Unavailable has trained himself consciously or subconsciously to only give just a taste of what he could eventually be, keeping the woman hanging on. He's not bad, just messed up. On paper he probably has many of the characteristics we associate with good catches; except for just one teensy weensy thing...he's unavailable for a relationship.

These men tend to be self-absorbed and have a host of excuses as to why they can't be as much of a partner as we would like them to be. They blame 'timing' and tell you that 'If only things were different, you'd be the perfect girlfriend.'

Human nature has taught us that if they are there and treating us half way decent, they must want to be with us, they just need our help. So millions of women every day put a concerted effort into fixing the walking wounded, when in actual fact these guys are unavailable to them, and it doesn't matter how much we beg, how much we plead, they will be unavailable until they damn well feel ready to be available.

There's a catch though. Women that are attracted to unavailable men, aren't actually available either! When we habitually date men that are unavailable, it's because deep down, we don't want to put our heart completely on the line and when everything goes wrong, as it ultimately does with these guys, it's like a self fulfilling prophecy.
