I am a degreed engineer who makes broadcast television stations sing. I am a very funny conservative. I used to be a comedy writer for episodic television. I make a damn good living and have a grown son and a 13 year old daughter. My ex wife decided that a dope smoking half-wit 13 years her junior was a better future. Three arrests later he broke up with her.
Women look through me like I am not even there.
Women SAY they want a nice guy, date the exact opposite and then have the temerity to complain there are no nice guys left. They get all the abuse that CHOOSE to have by their actions. And they’ll never learn..
Agreed, I’m glad high school wasn’t my high-water mark. While you’re in it, it all seems like a big deal. Looking back on it, high school isn’t jack. The Big Man on Campus usually winds up with a pretty mundane life.
Sometimes, a carrot is just a carrot.
Without reading the comments first I’m going to opine.
Decent women like decent men.
What did you do “wrong” as Richie Cunningham?
You did not “take charge.” Your politeness was possibily misunderstood as dithering or uncertainly.
May I say? We like CERTAIN men. DECIDED men. Men who know what they want to do.
That’s my opinion. Marine Corps wise you were perceived of as a MAN (not a boy) - why ‘cause you were in the Corps which is HUGE, older and more filled out and all, and, you acted very decisive.
Only messed up women, or nasty women, like jerks. It does not pay to be a jerk.
Churches and governments like nice boys - when they need money or labor. Other than that, nice boys haven’t got much of a receptive audience in any part of human existence. :)
I think you are spot on!
THINK FEEL
Everybody thinks & feels, but for mating ...
Female mates feel more than think.
Males think more than feel.
Choose one over the other the first year, so you both do not step on each other’s feet.
That’s Rich!
My daughter went on two dates with a boy who “seemed” very nice. They were both volunteering at Cub Scout camp, and he was very polite to me and friendly with the younger siblings. However, when they actually went out, he couldn’t keep his hands to himself.
So in summary, maybe we just have different definitions of “nice.”
I has been known, in my family, that there were left handed relationships, as in stand up before the Parish and admit this base born child as yours. I joined an English genealogy group of very distant relations that confirms some of these.
It seems that my families merchant wanderings led to some unexpected surprises.

You’re right. I was a bad boy in HS. No problems getting dates but one that I wanted to date was captain of the cheerleading squad. We were friends but that’s as far as it went.
Fast forward 30+ years. I reformed. Nice guy. Courteous and respectful like all conservatives :)
Went to my high school reunion. Newly divorced. Re-met captain of cheerleaders. Turns out she was also divorced. We hit it off right away and have been together ever since. :)
I often found a way to “flash some cash” while paying the bill or leaving the tip. Panties came off quickly after that. Not good marriage material though.
You nailed it, FRiend.
Me, I’m a 59-year-old retired editor, lifelong bachelor, and about as straight as you can get.
Around age 30, I was confronted with the choice between marriage and family versus pursuing my extremely interesting but not very remunerative career as a newspaperman.
Looking back, celibacy was a small price to pay for seeing things and talking to people I never would have had access to in any other career.
Now that I have taken early retirement, I can enjoy a degree of peace and quiet that “family guys” never get.
Again, I think that’s a small price to pay.
Freedom comes at a price. Pay it willingly.
“I very much think there’s a biological reason for girls liking “bad boys” “
They want to be single moms?
my first boys-only health class was taught by a guy who gave us all we needed to know about how to get girls. It was the 7th grade.
Girls don’t care about how you look. They care first about how you smell, secondly how you think you look. Third, dress like you give a damn.
You folks are most interesting. As a young military man I go a lot of positive attention when going into a McDonalds while in uniform. I was in the warrior class. Nowadays they’re all from Mexico.
