5 Myths About Dating Women And Some Tips For Men by Flickzvill(m): 6:01pm On Oct 29, 2016
I recently read an article for men on “Why women just won’t go for the nice guys…” and realized men are being fed just as much misinformation as their female counterparts! I want to take a moment to debunk some of the information men are given regarding the dating scene, as well as offer a little encouragement to those single fellows out there.

MYTH #1: Women seek danger. Thus, they are attracted to the “bad boys.”
Simply not true. Speaking both from personal and professional experience, for the average healthy female (not to mention men and women, alike) it is often the opposite. Most people ultimately seek security in a relationship. Do women often end up dating the outgoing, thrill seeking “bad boys?” Sometimes, but it is not for the reasons you may think. This often happens for one of two reasons:

The confident, even arrogant, guy is more likely to ask her out.
The confident ‘alpha’ male is more likely to step up and help her when faced with danger. This assertiveness and courage is attractive. However, courage and assertiveness can often be confused with arrogance and impulsive behavior, too. A guy who consistently engages in risky, thoughtless behaviors from any partner usually results in the relationship ending fairly quickly. Humans, as a whole, do not feel safe with those who consistently force them into dangerous situations.

MYTH #2: Arrogance is attractive.
No. Confidence and assertiveness are attractive. Arrogance, egocentrism, self-importance, immodesty, and inconsiderate behavior is definitely a way to make others run for the hills. What is the difference? Arrogance is used when someone is trying to convince someone else that they are worthy of that person’s time and attention (ie. trying too hard). Confident individuals do not feel the need to prove their worth. Arrogant people talk about themselves. Confident people spend most of their time listening to others and learning. Arrogant people engage in conflicts by inflating their own experiences, “talking big” and throwing insults. Confident people seek understanding, even when they disagree, and seek compromise and relatedness. Arrogant people speak down to and dismiss those who disagree with them. Assertive people spend most of their time listening and share their thoughts only when asked and, often, in a calm manner. Be sure you are exuding confidence…not arrogance.
