2nd Place Ribbon

Ladies, I think that it’s time to have a male to female talk.  Have a seat.

Want something to drink?  No?  Ok, well, let me get right into it.

I want to understand why a female does certain things.  Like, say for instance, dump the guy that you know is good for you for the “jerk” who only wants your bedroom face, then get surprised when the “jerk” leaves you.

Then go running back to the guy you left.

It’s a common problem I see with women almost daily.  Mr. S.O.B. floats your boat.  You like him.  You assume he likes you.  But he does things that really irritates you and makes you think that a relationship with him won’t work.  So you start dating other people (while still giving him daily rides on the rollercoaster).  You find a guy, a really nice guy, we’ll call him… Mr. Nice Guy.  You like him, and he likes you.  You spend more and more time with Mr. NG (while start closing down your rollercoaster ride for Mr. S.O.B.) until that date where Mr. NG wants to take it a step further.

Now, all of a sudden, you have to think about it.

So, you go and see if Mr. S.O.B. still floats your boat and rings your bell.  He does.  You go back and tell Mr. NG that while you’re flattered that he would think about settling down with you, you don’t feel it’s right because you still have feelings for Mr. S.O.B.

Fast forward 2 months.

Now, Mr. S.O.B. is truly being an S.O.B.  He tires of you too quickly, and finally dumps you.  You, after careful consideration and alone time, decide to be with Mr. NG.  you go to him and tell him that you made a terrible mistake and that you would like to try a relationship with him.

Stop the tape.

Let me be REAL honest, because that is what you want correct?  (Nod your head)  You don’t want Mr. NG.

Not now, not ever.

Reason?  Mr. NG is your second choice.  Not only that, he KNOWS that he’s your second choice.  Any guy that will accept being second is one you do NOT want to be with.  Also, you’re going to be really salty at the fact that you had to “settle”, even though you know you’re with the better man.  That man will pickup on the resentment you have towards him because he knows that he wasn’t your first choice.  Subconsciously, you’re treating him a lot different than what you would have if you had not known what Mr. S.O.B. was all about in the first place.

Women don’t like being at the bottom of the scrotum pole, so why do it to men?  The kind of women that I date say they had better come first, otherwise, it’s going to be some problems.  I’m not going to date a woman knowing good and full well there’s someone out there that I’ll leave her for in a heartbeat.  But women will.

And the men accept it.

I’ve said this before, and I will always say this:  I will not settle for second place.  I am first chair, I am the President, I am the top seed, I am number 1, 2, 3, 4, AND 5.  No one (that you would date) will come before me.

Those that settle for second place are just the first losers.  I don’t settle.  And I don’t want a woman “settling” for me.

So ladies, why do you do it?  Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

  • I have been that chick... multiple times, and for reasons unknown to be truthful. I didn't realize the damage, because so many men put on the front that they are not hurt and invincible so I guess at that time it never crossed my mind that the same things that would infuriate and deeply hurt me would slide off y'all's back. Oh how wrong I was. I now have grown up and appreciate men for much different reasons than I used to, so Mr. SOB doesn't even get on the porch, let alone the front door....

    ...great post.
  • i think if i've ever been guilty of this, it was because of my young age and mind and not realizing what i needed and deserved in a relationship. and i'm with ms. alise: even tho i'm now married, the dudes i dated back in the day wouldn't get a chance with me today.

    why are some men ok with 2nd place tho? is it because they feel they can get everything without the commitment or is it something else?

    Kudos and Accolades on this post!!!

    No one wants to be second no doubt but it is reality nonetheless. It is kind of sad but I would have to say that I have been that girl but now being a woman I am able to look at these situations with better understanding. It was generally an EGO trip. I one was no so secure with who I was and it was always nice to have Mr. Nice Guy to tell me how awesome I was. Now I know that was not fair to that guy. I also know how it feels to not be someone's first choice because I wasnt considered to what he though of as a "dime".

    Now being a woman comfortable in my own skin I know better and no longer willing to settle or be settled for. When you no better you do better.

    Guys, if you were not good enough for a woman when she was in her prime, why should put with her diva entitlement or whatever when she is past her prime?
