Men don't like "meangirls" they like hot girls. Doesn't matter if she's mean, nice etc..

If you're an attractive woman, you will NEVER be turned Down because of being too "nice"

Alpha males? The guys she describes are anything but alpha males-more like pathetic omega males that ain't got no game.

I knew this one guy, he had the "White Knight Syndrome"...he only wanted messed up women. I dated him briefly after my divorce, I was his perfect "type"...after I got it back together, he dumped me for a woman who got a DUI, went to work drunk, got fired, was going thru a divorce, and had her kids taken away by CPS...she completely used him...insisted he take her on expensive vacations, moved in with him, it was crazy. He only wanted women who were completely down and out...I think it was a low self esteem thing.

I got 6 phone numbers. SIX FREAKING PHONE NUMBERS. I actually got in an argument with some guy, poured a gin and tonic on him and he asked me out. He also bought me another gin and tonic.

I tripped someone and laughed at him, he gave me a hug and asked if I wanted to hang out sometime.

I told some guy his car sounded lame and that maybe he should be hitting on men instead of women (it hurt me to say this, to be honest ) and rolled my eyes. No smile, dead serious. He laughed and asked if I wanted to go for a drive sometime.

I TOLD 3 guys to buy me drinks. One said no, the others did with no hesitation. I didn't even say thank you, got my drink and walked away. One of them followed me around asking me out until I left.

A few other things happened, but those were the biggies.

Maybe I should just start acting mean to get dates. I had one of them write his number on a cocktail napkin, I looked at it, said I changed my mind and tore it up. He proceeded to try and give me his business card.

Wow. I'm just stunned. It took a lot out of me to act this way (I'm never mean unless provoked) so I don't plan on doing it again, but it still shocked me.

But hey, at least I can't say I've never been hit on anymore
Well, It worked with these guys, But IMO If you tripped me or asked boldly for me to buy you drinks in this manner, Or had an attitude, I would have told you to take a hike! I understand this was a social experiment and not the real you. Just an alt view here.

I am nice, But have enough confidence not to be played, Esp from a stranger.

i think the problem is you not them

They probably thought you were flirting, breaking the ice. You were probably more relaxed than in prior situations. I would call one of those guys if you are interested but be yourself this time.

I suggest you don't repeat the experiment. You got lucky Some guys have anger issues and this could have ended very badly.

LOL, that's hilarious. Sounds like the mean girl thing works great for you.

well if you are as tall as your profile says and you look like you mean business then I can see a lot of guys not approaching you. But then again I love the pictur and the tatoo.yes a lot of guys finds mean girls interesting but in the long run they get tired of the hassle.

I don't think you can conclude men like mean girls from this experiment. You put on a lot of makeup and went out of your way to interact with as many men as possible in a bar, and used a "mean" attitude as a way to talk to them.
I challenge you to do the exact same thing next weekend: same make up, same outfit, and interact with as many men as possible. But instead of being mean, be nice to them. Report back with the results.
