Why Girls Are Attracted To The "Unattainable" Guy
Bustle


We have all done it. You meet a guy, he seems okay, but turns out to be a total f*** boy. You don't necessarily know why you are attracted to the guy that is totally not good for you. I dated this one guy for about a year. We would fight all the time about the dumbest topics. He treated me like shit and I let him. We blamed it on timing, emotional unavailability, useless fights, but that wasn't the case. The truth was we were not right for each other. By the end of our relationship, it was like he was making a hobby of hurting my feelings.He wasn't my type, or what I should be looking for in a guy.

The textbook definition of a jerk: any guy who leads a girl to believe that he cares about her without actually caring about her. You don't necessarily know why you are attracted to the guy that is totally not good for you. The textbook definition of a good guy: any guy who openly shows love for girls he’s interested in. Here's reasons why you choose the jerk over the good guy.

1. You are trying to make him "a better guy"

There is always that one guy who you think you can change for the better. You say to yourself, "sure he is bad now, but once I get ahold of him, he will be perfect." A year later, the guy is still the same. Because guys do not change for girls, they change for themselves.

2. You accidently friend-zoned the good guy

You meet a fantastic guy, an all around good person, and you decide to make him your friend. Sure, that's great, until you friend-zoned him so hard that you don't even look at him in a sexual way.

3. Girls are terrified of finding Mr. Right and being his Miss Wrong

Girls can be so scared of finding the right guy, that they settle for anything. We can be so afraid of finding someone right for us that we're practically blinded by the bad guys that show up in front of us. Were terrified of being wrong about the guy.

4. You truly believe opposites attract

So you have good morals, a good background, you are an overall good person, and you are going to pick someone opposite to that? I think not.

5. We want what we cannot have

Girls like the “bad boy” for his rebellious ways. They want someone their parents would not necessarily approve of. We want someone who is unattainable, who is hard to reach.

In the end, I believe we all end up with the person we should be with. I think everything happens for a reason, and sure if you want to have a fling with a bad boy, no one is stopping you. I do not, however, think you should choose a bad guy, a jerk, or anyone who treats you poorly. If a guy is treating you like shit, drop his ass.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
