There IS a ray of hope for Stephen here.Stephanie has roughly about the same chance of a macho-jock-guy ‘thinking that way’ about HER as she does of finding a jackpot-winning Powerball ticket on the sidewalk.And like CSN said, “If you can’t be with the one you love….”
Reading this and the comments has been really fascinating. Just for the record I’m a girl and I never liked macho jerks. I love scifi, comic books and art, and I’ve always dated guys who love scifi, comic books and art. Certain types of girls are attracted to macho jerks, girls that are often objectified in scifi, comic books and art strangely enough…. I think this stereotype can be true on both sides, some girls like macho guys; nice guys seem to be attracted to those types of girls sadly.
I know how you feel Stephan……at least you are a friend. When the “cute” guy dumps her in the trash.Be a friend and help her out.If that is all you ever be then it is meant that way.
You can’t ignore the hormones. They’re a third of the nature, and they never look at consequences. It’s the brain’s job to direct attention elsewhere when future trouble warning pops up. Brain can not shut hormone off. It has to wear off..Until about 1890, even in the US, the parents chose the mate because a kid is hormone soup. They were recognized as being incapable of choosing (using brain) for themselves. Anyone marrying for romance alone was legal age 21 and a fool, or too poor to have a choice.

It’s a stereotype because, at the core, it’s all to true.Girls like macho jerks.

So remember women, if your husband prefers to see the football in place to take you our or spend time with you, is because you rejected the nice guy.

On the bright side, not having a girlfriend, wife, ect… leaves you with more time do do the things you love.

I read “blow guys up” as “blow-up guys” at first. That could come later when she’s still single.

opposites attract, except for guys, if its female and moving it attracts.
