The Simplicity of Men: Category Two

Posted By: Monica

Category 2 is now officially in order.

I should get one thing straight about this category. Many men placed in here are unhappy to be labeled as such, but what they don't realize is, it is not necessarily a bad thing. No one category ranks higher than the other; there are faults in each one and, depending on the woman they may not even be seen as such.

Okay, let us proceed:

The “Macho Men” who think they get it: These are the boys that are, in today’s society, viewed as the misogynists, the woman haters, the “one night stand” pursuers, the famous Dumpers. Yet, this category also contains those every day guys that are convinced they are Category 1 contestants. They believe they have mastered the game, yet they have not. This type is seen in everyday life; a classmate, a coworker, even a friend. All of us are familiar with the guy who thinks any girl he flatters will fall for him. And, let me tell you, it works on most women. But this is beside the point. The point is that the men in this group can easily be mistaken for Category 1 qualifiers. However, these are also the men that find girls who don’t pertain to their needs. The Game, to them, is thrilling, but optional. Chasing a female may get tiring and these are the men who see no fault in settling for something easier until the prize is earned. Now, I do not want to press the impression that these men are self- centered assholes who use women to fulfill their own needs. Some of them are. The majority, though, just need a break from having their ego constantly crushed by their target and need some rebooting. What satisfies that battery charge better than wooing another female and having her act the way you wish your prize would? It certainly beats sitting around with half a gallon of fat free ice cream, watching sappy love flicks, and bawling until you feel fat and bloated, which triggers the waterworks yet again (Sound familiar, Ladies?). This category just has a different, less self-destructive way of dealing with those emotions. Yet, this is what the world views as bad. These are the men that fuel their love lives through confidence. After all, for the women that are attracted to this group, as well as the pervious, confidence is key. That is the secret ingredient.

Now, it is pretty much impossible to cover the plethora of facets in this category with examples, but some are needed in order to show just how many types of guys fit in here.

Let's begin with the most obvious example out there: the universal Jerk. This is the guy that thinks he is "all that" and treats his lady with little to no respect. He is the epitome of cockiness and blows up his ego whenever given the chance. One girl one night, another the next. That's how he rolls , and he's proud of it. But then again, this type of guy is not all Category Two consists of. I'm sure all of you are familiar with the lovable character Joey on the hit TV show Friends. He's just an overall nice guy. A bit slow at times, but nice. How could he possible fit into this category? Fairly easily, actually. Joey thinks he knows the Game when, in actuality, the audience feeds off of his behavior.

Here is an example:




Another well-known TV character is placed in this category even though, throughout the years I, as well as many other women, have fallen for his wit, charm, and sense of humor. Who's more "fresh" than the Fresh Prince himself?
