Get this -- my son's best friend at college -- sweet guy, kind & gentle, *rich* family, and an athlete good enough to come within sniffing distance of the national championship in his sport -- he couldn't get a date either! Women were even nasty about turning him down. What gives??
Girls at that age fall for the charming cads. Nice guys are not exciting enough. They want bad boys. It's even better if the bad boys are vampires, werewolves, or sadists (check out the popularity of the "Twilight" series and "50 Shades" series). The girls are willing to go with the bad boy even if they know he's also seeing multiple other girls. The result is that the bad boys get exhausted, and the nice guys wonder why the girls are not interested.
I was "nice guy" in my high-school days, didn't get much attention. In college, I put on a bad boy persona and got plenty of attention.
What happened in times past, was that girls HAD TO find a marriageable guy fairly early in the game. Being a single corporate lawyer by day who slept with bikers by night, was not an option. So the girls found a guy who would be a secure husband who the parents would approve of.
Things appear different now. The girls think they can date bad boys til they're 35, then find a nice guy to settle for. Many get upset when this doesn't work.
He probably wasn’t ‘bad’ enough to attract the girls.
