Jerks (and the girls who love them)

For those of you who were waiting for an update about the situation I (cryptically) mentioned last time, I've got nothing for you.  It seems that I got excited for nothing once again.  Sorry to get your hopes up everyone, but yours truly is still a bachelor, despite all efforts.

This leads me to the topic I will be exploring today:  Jerks.

We've all seen them, usually with a girl hanging off their arm, completely oblivious to the guy's jerkitude.  If you're a guy like me, you've probably often thought what's this guy got that I don't?  After some research/discussion with the brilliant minds of the twentysomething bloggers,  I have figured out what this seemingly magical quality is:  confidence.
For guys in my situation, it's a difficult process to get up the nerve to talk to a lady we're interested in.  Maybe it comes from fear, or nervousness, but for whatever reason, it's almost impossible for us to say hello to a good looking lady, let alone ask her out.  This leads to problems every time.  For instance, if the woman in question is someone you see often, the constant inability to talk to the object of you affection can lead to stalkerish tendencies.  (note:  I do not condone stalking people.  Please don't do this unless you are interested in going to prison)  Another problem that has come up with me personally, is waiting.  Several times, I've taken a long time to figure out the best way to ask a girl out, only to lose my chance when she finds a boyfriend, moves away, etc.
Jerks don't have this problem.  They exude confidence all the time.  Yes, they're often unintelligent, crude, and maybe even ugly, but it's their mindset that makes women want them.  They're sure that they're great, so it tricks otherwise sensible women into liking them.  This next part may be conjecture, but I'm sure many of them don't even appreciate what they have half as much as a guy like myself would.  This further aggravates me when I see this kind of thing.
So, what's to be done about all this, gents?  GET SOME CONFIDENCE, DUMMIES!
Ultimately, it's up to us to stop these jerks from taking all the good women they don't rightly deserve.  I've been working on getting in touch with this attitude for a while now.  I haven't had an opportunity yet, but I think I'll be more ready for it when I do.  In short, don't follow my example.  Instead, find yourself a role model of some sort.  Not a jerk, but someone who embodies jerk qualities while still being an essentially decent guy.  For me, the archetypal example of this is Han Solo.  He's the kind of guy who knows what he wants, and goes out there and gets it.  This is the kind of attitude we, the beta-males, have to take in order to get the love we deserve.
You have your orders gentlemen, so get out there and let the ladies know how you feel before someone else beats you to it.  May the force be with you!
