Why is it so hard to believe that he is a nice guy and she "wanted" to know him a bit more?".. The "stud" she was with(now just a friend) was probably a real jerk and she was tired of it.
I see a TON of guys around that are skinny, kinda scuzzy, but they have some of the cutest girls I have ever seen ... I ask myself quite a bit "How in the heck did that guy get that girl" I have to say that it gives me hope.
Maybe it's because the "cute-Jock type" sometimes let it get to their heads that they are studs..ect ect, and expect the girls to worship him and he in turn acts like an ass treating the girl with disrespect.
I admit younger girls brush that attitude away, so they can just be with a cute guy, but after a while they get tired of the B.S. from a swelled up ego of a StudMuffin.
A lesser attractive guy(like myself) don't have this ego... I rely on just being the best I can and when I see a hot chick I just smile and say candid things.. I don't act all macho and that my Sh!t don't stink...
Girls like to be respected and not treated like they are owned or used.... If you're a guy that can notice that, then yeah, in the long run you will be the guy that gets the hot girl... Looks get old, but respect, and admiration for someone never gets old..
Stop trying to make yourself feel better with people telling you that this "AFC" is just a "side-Plate" for that hot girl... Maybe she actually has feelings for him, and thinks he's a real nice guy who treats her like a "person" not a "hot chick"
