Why Men Love Bitches

The more independent you are of him,
the more interested he will be.
The story that follows proves my point. Rob, an attractive,
successful man who could have his pick of any woman he wanted,
was mystified by a most unlikely woman. He describes Laura as a
“conservative computer nerd” who wears long pleated skirts. After

---

a few dates, he invited her to go on a cruise. Rob wasn’t lacking in
the confidence department, and he thought he’d teach Laura how to
have fun. He thought he’d “rock her world.” Laura said she
couldn’t go. The reason? She had a preplanned Tupperware party.
Rob told what happened next: “I kept hoping she’d change her
mind. I ended up going on the cruise by myself and ended up flying
home after one day to see what she was up to. A Tupperware
party? It couldn’t be. I simply could not believe that she’d pass on
an exotic vacation with 
me
for a Tupperware party. I figured she
had to be seeing some other man. I had to see for myself”.
He flew home and dropped by that Saturday evening when
Laura’s party was supposed to be going on. Sure enough, lo and
behold, he was dumbfounded and astonished to find that she was
actually having a Tupperware party.
When he showed up, Laura was happy to see him. She invited
him in and offered him a finger sandwich. Rob could have just as
easily been eating spiny lobster or exotic seafood en route to the
Bahamas at that very moment with 
any woman
he wanted. Instead,
he was nibbling on a soggy little tuna sandwich with a toothpick in it.
He could have been watching a world-class Vegas-style show,
instead the highlighted entertainment on the agenda was
Tupperware containers: Gingerbread-shaped ones, star-shaped
ones, and even heart-shaped ones.
Rob still remembers it with disbelief. “There I am listening to a
bunch of cackling women, watching them go AWOL over some
plastic bowls. I drank coffee in a fancy teacup with a teeny tiny

spoon. I could not believe it. I was thinking, ‘No. This cannot be
so. I don’t hold a candle to a this?’”
Was Laura being mean? Not at all. She just didn’t go down the
beaten path of giving up her own interests in exchange for something
he thought would be better. What blew Rob’s mind was that her
activity meant more to her than the cruise or being with him. He
said, “From that point on, she had my full attention.” And the
unlikely couple became a hot item.
Rob had put on his best “mack-daddy” show-stopping routine,
and Laura 
wasn’t that impressed.
Unlike the bitchier woman, the
nice girl will often appear easily impressed. She’ll make her desire
to have a relationship much too obvious, which often 
invites
mistreatment.
