For every guy who's "such a total asshole," there's a woman who's his equivalent. The only problem is that as guys we're supposed to not be bothered by these things and act all stoic. Even worse, we're supposed to be James Bond, and rejection is a sign of weakness. Not so.
- Look at yourself honestly. Ask yourself what you could do to improve yourself. Here's a hint: for all their talk about wanting a "nice guy" and how they look at guys "on the inside", they're sexual creatures as well, who are motivated as much by the desire for admiration from their friends and acceptance from their parents (or rebellion against their parents, depending on their maturity) as they are by who they may get along with best. Money, personal style, your body, looks, smile, your car, your future, these things all matter a great deal, whether they may seem "shallow" or not. But be fair - you want her to look nice, have a killer body and be sweet all (or at least most of) the time too, right?
- They want a guy who can make them howl, which is why they'll often go off with the wrong guy - they may think they can "save" him. They're wrong, and they'll eventually figure that out - you can't change people. They only change if they want to, deep down. Meaning that if a woman acts like a jerk, you're probably better off not bothering with them and finding someone real. That's not always easy, you can get stuck on someone, but remember, people are the way they are for a reason.
- Confidence. You can't fake it, so saying "be confident" is alot easier said than done. That's not important, you need it anyway, and not just for women; confidence affects your whole life. Women can smell insecurity a mile away, but confidence is irresistable.
- There are caring, quality, classy, deep women out there. They're not easy to find, quite frankly, because the law of averages regarding people generally being idiots applies just as well to women as it does men. But that doesn't mean you won't eventually run into one who likes you; opposites don't actually attract, people with things in common do. If you're a worthwhile person, you'll be rewarded. Don't be confused by assholes scoring trophy wives.
It's not actually rocket science, although it may seem that way at times. And another thing - those chicks are seriously fucked. The world is full of beautiful women, many of whom are sane. Ditch the bitch and find one of them. University's a pretty good place to do so.
Deep, but dead-on insight.
Take this as a learning experience in life Kaneda, but don't wallow in depression, keep your head up. And your comics will be anything but entertaining for us all as you've provided since their debut.
I can learn from that as well as many of the posters here I'm sure.
