The answer is simple: They are still there, but women rarely notice them. They are there, and they get passed up for assholes.

And assholes exist because women have made it profitable for men to be assholes.

Don't believe me? Then why are you here?

You, the thoughtful, caring guy always get passed up for the guys who invariably squat and take a dump on the women who choose them.

You can't count the number of times you've been out with your buddies and been asked, "Who's your friend?" by women.

No one gives you a second look, even though you might be a rather handsome guy. You've been called "a catch", "great husband material" etc. by women. Or perhaps by their mothers, who often seem to like you even more than the woman you are dating.

Here's the hardest part of everything you are about to hear. All the things you've been doing to score points with women have actually been destroying any chances you might have had to start a relationship with them. If what you've been doing was working, you wouldn't be reading this right now.

And, no, I don't treat women as "lesser beings". That line was just for effect. But, I do treat women in the way that I think is most profitable for my own goals, which is usually not the way they say they want to be treated. Just like assholes do.

Anyway, here's a disclaimer before we get going...

CAUTION! USE THIS INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK! This is NOT a guarantee that you will magically succeed with women. All I can say is that this stuff has worked for me and other guys when we've applied it. If you don't believe me, stop now and read the message board. These are real, unsolicited responses and testimonials from guys who have tried this. All of this information is free, and I'm not making any money from this site.

I'm not here to help you attract, talk to, or pick out the right woman. Think of this as a guide that you might or might not find useful when starting a relationship. It was written in an attempt to explain how to respond to some of the more bizarre and irrational behaviors of women that have been puzzling men for ages. I assume NO liability if, using this information, you end up at home on a Saturday night, or a woman rages at you violently with sharp implements. No warranties are expressed or implied. Your mileage may vary.

That having been said, let's go.
