Nemo's blog: "Observations"

Now i am not one to really get worked up over this, but sometimes the blatant down rating deserves a lil retailation. Now i know im not Brad Pitt, neither are most of the guys here. Does that mean i am here specifically to be rated and shown that i am not? No. So why am i here? Because this is a more interactive communitt than myspace. I can do more then just message, blog and search for people. I can join a lounge and real time chat with people. I can do far more with my acunt here then on facebook with all their nifty addins. Now as i said, i am not one to really care, but sometimes im in a mood. A foul mood so i just get carried away. Someone rated me a four, while im online even. I saw the notice that they checked me out and rated me a four. What did i do? I commented on their profile saying thanks for the down rating, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to know im not brad pitt. They are new so they only have 3 pictures, so i rated each of them a 1 and commented Down Rater. Thinking back on this, i could have been civil and sent them a message that i really didnt appreciate the 4 rating, that they are new and i understand that. Ive had people rate me and then quickly send me an apology but i havnt gotten anything so i get the feeling this girl really stands by her rating. She wont be intimidated, or maybe she is and wont correct her action. Ehhh .... I got fodder for a new blog.

Two conversations over the course of the day really stuck out to me and I had to share my observations. I was talking with one of my friends and she mentioned a problem relationship of her friends. Now i listened and she commented about the "bad boys" that keep changing in a never ending cycle with this friend of hers. We kept on talking about this and it was very interesting to hear from a woman about the draw of a "bad boy." Next i had another conversation about how this someone was having issues with a guy. A first hand account and the realization that he was bad news in a box. This got me started thinking and thus this blog. Why the hell do women know the bad boy is bad and still go to them like a moth to a flame? I am sure that plenty of women have been burned by a bad boy type but they still go after them. Are the normal guys that boring to be around that you cant stand considering a healthy, long-term relationship with one of us? I may not be the next hottest guy since Brad Pit or whom ever but I know i'm not Quasimodo. I'm smart, funny, and i try damn hard to make the person I am with happy. As an example of a nice guy, do yourself a favor and start looking for one instead of the bad boy, I guarantee you will find out that were not as boring as you may seem and far more likely to be long-term candidates if you can just do a little searching beyond the cover of our book. See you all next week as I continue my Observations ...
