Welcome back to another article from The Real UCF Guy. Now, a very popular question was brought to me this week: “Why do men say that they want a good girl but only chase after skanks?”

Well, I’m just going to dive into this topic because the answer is much simpler than you ladies think. First off, I’m going to try and answer this in the perspective of the ages most of you college girls are in, which is 18 to 22. Guys even at 22 are still learning how to act around women, and with that in mind, we tend to do really stupid stuff around you ladies. We are very indecisive, too. We may want something one day, then turn around the following day and make a completely different move.

With the background info given, most of us haven’t yet completely “matured,” and a good portion of us still make decisions with only numero uno in mind. We have no idea of the consequences of our actions until weeks after. So we may act like we really, really like you, but instead we are just trying to be flirty. We are weird – no real other way to cut it.

Men can get pretty lazy, too. We don’t really like to put the effort into stuff, and we would rather take the easy way around. So sometimes men are going to go for the girl just throwing herself out there then spend weeks trying to talk to the girl that’s been sending him signals.

To wrap this up, you girls have no fear because sooner or later we are going to realize that the best women in life are worth putting in the extra effort for. Just talk to us and tell us what you want, rather than us having to guess what we may “think” you want. Whatever we “think” you may want is 99.9% wrong. So the reason we chase after the wrong girl is because that’s what’s right in front of us. Try meeting us halfway with this, ladies. Guys sometime feel that they are guest starring on an episode of Blue’s Clues with the puppet from Saw as the Steve. We are lost. Once we smarten up, I guarantee we’ll be the ones giving you clues.
