Treat 'em mean keep 'em keen

I wouldn't know because I've always played the honest and nice role. It's just how I am, I don't do it on purpose. I'm like the polar opposite of assertive ._.
Though this hasn't exactly turned a large number of girls away from me, so I'm not complaining.
I'm only a dick to someone if they disrespect me in a way I don't like. If I'm good ofriends with somene I have a pretty high tolerance for it, but if the line is crossed there's just no saving the poor soul. I've made quite a number of enemies (mostly among the self-entitled arrogant group of girls) but I don't really care about them.
But for the most part, I can be way too nice at points, or I'm just too much of a pussy to express myself.
Meh, it's who I am.

I'm generally nice and girls don't really come running after me. and actually my girlfriend said the first time we met she thought I was an asshole. So It must work!

[Hollycat]

Unfortunately it does work, which is why nice guys like me get very few girls.

Everyone is an asshole to a certain degree, but ultimately I like good-hearted people with a little sardonic humor -- not overboard. There's only so much I can take from someone who is just consistently mean when you aren't to them and most people are perceptive at noticing when someone is a try-hard (trying too hard to be someone they're not) i.e. a badass.

We call those wannabe's, love. Your made-up words are charming.

Structural abuse is an effective but harmful means of achieving dominance or safety. You can keep people in line with it, but no one comes out of a relationship based on it healthily. It is not recommended.

Different people find different things attractive. Generally though the "treat em mean" approach works well at least in the initial phases of meeting someone. I believe it's because generally speaking it signifies that whilst you want the person, you don't need the person. That is an attractive quality to most people, I met a girl fairly recently who didn't like this approach and yet I found when I was actually nice to her and showed genuine interest we both ended up not wanting the relationship for different reasons which I found pretty ironic.

Generally though being a bit of a flirt I like to make some quips towards people that often seem a little mean to outsiders but yet within the target audience and myself it's quite funny. I find it weird however since there are 2 girls I work/worked with at the moment who I am fairly certain nothing would ever happen with and we spend our entire days making mean comments to each other and yet we get along really well. So I guess even in friendship, this can be true.

all women are sluts

I find it very difficult to like you.

How funny, that's how the rest of us feel about you.

Well isn't that the pot being racially insensitive towards the kettle.

If this was true, domestic violence wouldn't be grounds for divorce.

Hot Guys: This approach often works and they earn the ranking and honour of "Cheeky Chappy".

Average/Ugly sods: They will probably just think of you as a bit of an arse. You better practice your door-opening proficiency!

[Tigmafuzz]

If another guy being "alpha" attracts a woman more than my intelligence, personality, sense of humor, and sincerity, then she didn't deserve me anyway. I've done just fine on those grounds. Hell, I've actually got two girlfriends at the moment living under the same roof. Karma ftw?

[Quindiana Jones]

Prostitutes are only interested in money, CS.

[Parker]

two prostitutes tied up in the closet doesn't count as two girlfriends living under one roof, CS.
