Men like Glenn......


First of all, I love this movie and have seen in tons and tons of times. I wish I got the chance to see the actual play production of this but didn't unfortunately.


Anyway, any women here have men in their city just like Glenn? I am 25 and live in LA. Nearly every guy out here is like Glenn. Just substitute the 80s with now, and you have Glenns all over LA.

They wear Ed Hardy, Affliction, have the most up to date things with technology (iPhone, Blackberry, Navigation system, etc), think they are G-d's gift to women, flaunt money in order to get "hot" women, and go to clubs thinking and wanting to be treated like VIPS. They chew gum on dates, text on dates, show up late, and answer their phones.

Ugh. I do the internet dating thing, and most guys I have met from there are just like Glenn. Went out with one 2 weeks ago who told me is wasn't looking for anything serious since he is so busy in law school, and 2 weeks later, I check his facebook and he has a new girlfriend.

I hate Glenn types!!

ME TOO
My guy who i met on holiday i don't trust him coz he made a facebook to talk to me coz i couldn't afford to keep buying phonecards and then guess WHAT?
I found his OTHER FACEBOOK in facebook suggestions
Full of porn and he actually commented on the pictures
He deleted some, but only coz i told the girl to report him coz she kept sending me messages why is he with you and doing that to me for?
So i said OH REPORT HIM coz he left all the other girls on there
I hate Glenn types the most i know loads of guys like that hyporcritical self centered jerks love themselves and think they;re gods gift to women coz they got loads of money i feel like telling a guy in my area to stop showing off
and keep it in his pants
But even if i do he won't get the freaking message
So they got heads full of air

I'd say the majority of guys nowadays are like Glenn. It's pathetic.

reply

There are lots of different types of guys out there, the Glenn types appear to be more common because they are probably the only guys you will look at.

I'd say that's pretty ridiculous.

When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now!

Maybe it's the places you are hanging out?

I am not blaming the women here, because there is no excuse for a guy being a jerk, but in some cases I think women look for the qualities Glenns have without realizing it. They want everything the OP outlined but they also want him to be sweet and sensitive, and that won't always happen. Here is an example: A woman who loves men that have ripped abs but wants to be accepted if she does not work hard at the gym. Men who have ripped abs are usually going to go after women who are into their bodies, so if you want that you better hit the gym hard.

There are some other factors. I have some buddies who are Glenn types and others who only look like Glenn types. The guys who look like Glenns but are faithful often have girlfriends, so they are not looking to meet girls when they are out in bars. This can make it seem as if it is all Glenns out there when it is not, it's just guys with superficial qualities who are also nice and don't cheat tend to be off the market. Glenn types who cheat are going to be out and about and hit on girls so many girls will end up meeting that type and thinking that is the only type of guy out there. But women can do something about this: Do you see a guy in th corner who is handsome and well dressed but not brash? Has a hard time approaching women? Stirs his drink? Go up to him, because he is probably less likely to cheat on you. It's kind of funny to me when women want a guy who is very aggressive in a bar but also won't be the type to cheat. Many of the guys in bars who ARE that aggressive are going to cheat, it's just the nature of the beast. I think if more women took the initiative they would not see the world quite the way the OP sees it. But there are plenty of jerks out there, no doubt about that.

I'm like Glenn only in the fact that I own a DeLorean. But I'm sure not rich like he was.

reply

Well if this formula of a male didn't work to get the ladies then guys wouldn't do it, so blame yourselves ladies.

It's not.... but when women are slapped with logic that hard across the face they go rogue. They make a below the belt comment that has no bearing on the conversation at all.

And 100% agreed with your post. All I see here is a bunch of whiny bitches that can't get a guy.

Women can control who they date. No one is forced to date a Glenn type.

reply

Guess what, get used to it cause it's what women want.

reply

At least the hookers.

Yep. Blame other hooker women for these guys' behavior.

No one says 'no' when they're paid enough.

Wow OP, I wish I'd gotten a chance to go on a date with you when I lived in LA. I'm more like Robbie except I'm not as tall and have a shaved head - but I got most of the rest of Robbie - I sing, I have no money, I'm a sucker of a nice-guy. Even if we didn't hit it off as a couple, maybe we could've been great friends. I sure could've used a few great female friends at that time. But sadly, many women I met in LA did seem to want guys with money and flashy cars and great careers - even if they are d-bags. I went on a few of those internet dates too, and the women I met were totally weird.

reply

The problem with the OPs post, is if she met you in real life she wouldn't want to *beep* you at all. She'd go for the Glenn type. Sad but true.

reply

that isn't true. good women dont want douche bags like glenn. however we want guys who have passion, drive and intelligence. so it's a bit unattractive if he lives with his parents and plays video games all day. women date ALL KINDS of men. the problem with guys like you who say stuff like this, is you're just as superficial as you think most women are. because you don't even notice that women who aren't superficial super models DO date guys of all kinds all over the spectrum. you're just pissed girls who look like Megan Fox prob wouldn't date guys who aren't rich and have abs and some kind of power or charisma. but there's lots of beautiful great girls who are certainly not looking for a glenn type. and i bet women who do want you, that give you the time of day, you wish she was "hotter" don't you? which is why all you guys no matter how poor or rich or whatever, you all look at porn because you're all visually superficial. sorry to break it to you but hot girls like nice guys. sorry if the nice guy isnt you. quit being bitter. if a sweet, good hearted gorgeous girl chooses a man with money, its not just for his money. its probably because he happens to be smart, kind, funny, charismatic, loyal, charming, passionate, driven. etc etc. but overall treats her with kindness and respect.

if he has money the first thing bitter guys will say is "oh its because hes rich" or if hes good looking "oh its because hes good looking" -- how about because hes got the whole package, which im sorry don't most humans want that? i absolutely would choose a "robbie" over a "glenn" any day of the week.


and in real life ive dated the sensitive musician types but even they end up screwing me over and being "confused" and flaky and turn into players if their music gets big, or their heads keep getting bigger from compliments on their talents. then i dated a "sweet" guy who was just in school to be an engineer. really nice, kinda nerdy but in a cute way. id play RPGs with him, and we had the same sense of humor overall and a lot in common but also were very different. im more artsy hes more scientific. but he ended up being robotic in terms of feelings and affection. and while he was loyal, he could also be cold and too reserved. so i realized i needed a good balance between a nice guy with his head on his shoulders and a passionate sensitive more free spirited musician type. who also wants to provide for a family one day down the road when and if we wanna do that. its attractive when men wanna provide even though i want my own career and to pitch in. but for a guy to expect the woman to pay for EVERYTHING and be lazy and live with 6 roommates because he has no drive--thats unattractive to most women. doesnt mean we all want douche bags or only look at douche bags come the eff on!

^Exactly. Pennilayne you hit it on the head!

Really and honestly, the smart girls are going to be with the smart guys. I mean, the ones who have common sense and want to build a future for themselves will go for each other. That's just how it is.

The last guy I dated was like how Pennilayne described; he just wanted someone to fxck and only wanted to date a hot girl as if I wasn't hot enough, and it's not like I'm unattractive. He even full out said to me that I shouldn't be bothered that he watches porn, and said he wanted to fxck Blake Lively. Yeah, a real winner.

He got mad at me because I got fired from the company that we worked at for a stupid reason, and for a while I ended up nannying for a few kids who's mother had to be at work at a certain time, so she couldn't get them to school. He hated that I did that because the mom wasn't the most well-off in terms of career and money.

He was a college dropout, and he still had an ego from high school because he was a star swimmer and the swimmers were treated like gods at our old school. (BTW, I didn't know him back then, it wasn't until later). He didn't look like a jock. He had more of a Peter Parker look about him. I received my degree, but I didn't think I was better than him because of that. He constantly called me "fxcking stupid" and said I wouldn't amount to much.

What did make me fxcking stupid was that I took him back two other times because he claimed he "changed," but then the final nail in the coffin was that he was jealous that I got a notification in the mail to participate in some beauty pageant. Why he got angry about that, I don't know why.

I'm so glad that *beep* dumped me because not only did I start doing things that were better for myself, but I grew emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually more as a person. While I still watch the kids I used to, I ended up with a store management job and have another job in the career I went for in writing and social media.

Enough about me, back to what Penni said, it's not all about looks, it's not all about money, it's not all about sex, people really want first and foremost someone they can emotionally connect with, and someone who TREATS THEM RIGHT. The smart people, at least. I was never into the jocky, Abercrombie type guys anyway because I hate arrogance. Obviously, they're not all like that. Yes, but confidence is different. The so-called nerdy guy could be super confident and have loads of people liking him for the charisma he has, but the stereotypically good looking guy could be insecure and not have a lot of confidence, therefore doesn't get all the attention.

It goes for girls, too. What if the "porn star hot" or "Megan Fox" looking girl is actually pretty intelligent? I'm not talking a genius, but someone who keeps up on world events, reads sometimes, and has common sense. A stereotypical douchey guy doesn't want to deal with a girl who's intellectual even if she's stereotypically hot. Men like that hate women with advanced opinions.

Plus, I'm not a shallow girl. My two celeb crushes are Scott Weiland (RIP) and John Lydon. I really loved Scott's voice, his different styles of music, his style of clothing, his handsome face, the beautiful blue green eyes he had, and he was a great lyricist. I liked how he always changed things up. I like John because he's always honest, even if it comes off hateful or random. He changed the rock scene, and came out with something meaningful to backlash the paint-by-numbers prog rock and shxtty disco music. I like how his music has evolved. I like his style of dress, too. I think he's funny. I think he has a handsome face. Yeah, he may not be 80 pounds like he was when he was in the Sex Pistols, but I still think he aged pretty well, and he won't BS anyone.
