Batman rejects Catwoman because of the law

[BWDK]

I can't understand Batman why he rejects Selina just because she's stealing some stuff. I mean she just steals from a bunch of rich snobs who would probably not even notice that they have been robbeb.

But then Batman feels attracted to Talia, who's a lot deadlier and evil than Catwoman, believe me Talia is capable of killing innocent people and I don't think Catwoman would kill innocent people.

Bruce needs to get alive! :D

I hate that saying, it's too true.

[Nightwing]

Oh I dunno, you'd think the nice guys would stand up and make that adage untrue. Lord knows some have, and that's something I know from experience.

Maybe in a way Bruce picks the ones that are poison so he could never be happy. Just another part of that obsession and manipulation that keeps him inside the walls of his curse of being Batman.

i think you read into little stuff a bit too much nice guys finish last

[Shriek]

I know I have bad taste in girls. Horrible taste. I choose the damn teases.

[DR. BELCH]

You too, eh? I'm surprisingly passive in love; I'm one of the rare (?) men who likes to sit back and let a dame make the first move. I don't think I've ever said the L word first to a woman. Of course, up-front girls also tend to be little tramps; nice girls are seldom up front about what they want, and tend to be prudish and frigid. That I don't like. A girl like that could never fathom my passion or darkness. It's hard to find a woman who is unschooled in the ways of men yet is willing to try anything once. And like I've said before, I don't mind a woman who knows what she wants, but I don't want one who demands the impossible of me (cf. my mini-rant in the "Prime-Time Glick" thread at A & GT on rabid anti-circs). Those scare me. :eek:

[optimal321]

For me, i usually don't care for, or maybe can see through the teases. I'm a good guy who likes good girls. Problem is, the good girls usually like bad guys. And then they complain that guys suck or stupid things like that. Well, if the nice guys don't get any attention, what do you expect? Imo, they encourage the behavior. Ah well, i did say "usually." So i guess there is some hope for us nice guys.

[Shriek]

I can't see through anything at all.

[mxyzptlk]

so far although i am only fourteen the girl i like is not a tease. although i have no courage and could never ask her out.

[joker]

girls are nothing but troulbe and all they cause is pain. the same goes for love. its a very useless emotion that only confuses you. makes you look like a fool. and break your heart.

[mxyzptlk]

i dont know you would be alive if not for love

[Batgirl]

Nice guys do NOT finish last... they're all ready taken... at least that's my experience. I'm seventeen and have never even come close to a date! And all the guys I like are taken or too shy to ask. Not to mention I'm too shy to ask!:P And Joker, guys do their share in breaking hearts too. I had a guy who was dating a friend who would act like he was interested in me! Not only that, but she went along with it too! And in highschool guys aren't really interested in the mind, they're interested in the outside. They go for the super model looks and outstanding popularity. (Sorry if this sounds like a guy bashing thing, this is only from my personal experience in my own school... then again, this particular thread has been a little one sided seeing that most of the respnses are from guys with bad experiences, any how). When do these boys ever grow up?!?!?!?! But Myx is right, love keeps every one alive. To love is nothing, to be loved is something, to love and be loved is everything. It may hurt, but it keeps us alive. I guess the saying true, all's fair in love and war, and pertaining to Selina and Bruce, that pharse has never rang more true.

I find many high-school girls aren't much better. That's why I gave up dating them in college. In addition to the teasing and making promises they don't intend to keep, they can be very superficial. I had one with whom I'd been carrying on a phone relationship for five months, and we finally managed to clear our schedules and meet. The first words out of her mouth was, "What's with the getup?" (Feeling puckish, I wore my favorite "How do I spell relief? W-E-E-K-E-N-D-S" cap, green field jacket and purple Joker pants that day.) Then she told me she had to take her mom to work but she'd be right back so we could spend the weekend together. That was 3 1/2 years ago, and I never saw her again. Scary thing? I think I still have feelings for her (she did things for me that I'm not sure another woman could do, and most of them I can't say in mixed company). I don't know if it was my clothes/height (6'1")/ beard that turned her off, or whether she was angry/jealous because I was seeing another woman on the side (long story)...but the point is, dames can be very flighty and fickle and, esp. if they've had other lovers, come into it with too many g.d. ureasonable expectations.
Also, what's a man to do when he's torn between two women-- one whom he doesn't really have a lot in common outside of sex, but she's convenient since she lives only 15 miles away...or one who lives 2000 miles away and is inaccessible but he's able to talk to here on a deeper, more adult level because they share common loves and interests?
Then there's the whole thing about upper-class women and lower-class men and why that doesn't work, but I can see Batgirl's and KyleWayne's eyes drooping, so I'll just leave that one to the imagination.
Note that all the men here seem to have the benefit of experience and all the women seem to be innocent things yet untouched by a man, sort of seeing things from the outside--that may explain why it seems to one-sided. We need a woman here whose been in at least one frig-her-and-leave-her relationship to share her take on it....

[joker]

girls can be as cruel as guys and vise versa. all i have to say is i've incounterd very indesive girls that cause nothing but confusion and hurt feelings.

I'm seventeen too, Batgirl, and have only been out on, like 2 dates. And that is because i have been too shy to ask, except these 2 times. This is just the "nice guy" in me, but i don't care about the super models or the popular chicks. The girl that i'm starting to date now got me hooked because of her insides (not putting down the outsides, i like them plenty too:)). But my thing is that the arseholes that are bad guys and immature do get dates. So why even bother being a nice guy if you end up like me? I mean, face it, those type of boys get all the attention. And i'm trying my damndest to break the stereotype, but most of my experience thus far has been that nice guys finish last.

[mxyzptlk]

thats right optimal, preach it brother.

[The Mad Hatter]

I've found that a lot of kids in high school can be just plain cruel. If it's any help, I didn't date that much in high school, but I started to date a lot more afterwards. People in general tend to become less superficial after high school, at least the good ones do. :) So don't lose hope yet.

It probably doesn't help to add that I haven't been in a long-term relationship in two years, simply because I don't meet many single gals anymore. That's the danger you run into when all of your friends are married and so are your co-workers. Le sigh.... Then again, a lot of truly wonderful people remain single for long periods through no fault of their own. It's just a matter of time for you all... me too.

Oh, a tip for you gals... men LOVE it when women ask them out. Really. It's a huge ego boost for them, even if they aren't really interested in you. So if you can't get them to go out with you, you can at least make their day.

And Dr. Belch: yes, women tend to get a wee bit turned off when men see others on the side. :)

thanx hatter i am goin to high school so make me feel better about the next four years.

[Clayface]

I agree with Hatter - what you go through in high school is not at all representative of what you'll go through the rest of your life. Just about everyone changes pretty dramatically after the high school years. Lots of people mature -then again, a lot don't. I didn't date a whole lot in high school, but that changed when I went to college. There, I found a lot of people that were a lot more mature, and a lot cooler than those I went to high school with, and I eventually met the love of my life there - a woman I've been with for 7 years now. Just give it time folks - things will change.

sounds good but i still gotta go to high school

That's right. If the real world was anything like High School years, I'd be defending the nice guy way of thinking a lot less! But people are smarter than that, which is why I don't think nice guys finish last because they are not only smarter than those HighSchool fools, but stronger than that as well.

Wasn't this thread about Bruce's relationships? lol. Anyway, Bruce is a very nice guy and could definitely find the girl who completes him. Unfortunately it's the darker reality of his life specifically that holds him back.
