"That" Guy

In my personal experience, I have found that two opposing forms of "that" guy exist in our society. On one end of the spectrum, there is "that" guy that is a cut above the rest. He seems to be almost flawless. Usually that flaw is either a significant other, he's gay, or he's just not that into you. For whatever reason, he tends to get the most of your attention. He becomes this intriguing, unattainable object of your affection. You find yourself playing mind games and doing things most would, under normal circumstances, be considered out of character. On the other end of the spectrum, there is the dreadful "that" guy. The one that may be a bit attractive, if you are lucky, but simply isn't for you. He will bend over backwards to get your attention. With the incessant text messages and voicemails consistently being ignored, one would think he would get the hint. But I am convinced this type of man is lacking the cognitive ability to recognize the red flags flying up right and left. If you are anything like me, you don't have the heart to break his seemingly unbreakable will. Simultaneously, I hold no feelings other than those of pity and irritation. Why is it that we always want what we can't have? Can we still blame it on the good ole' basic animal instinct of the thrill of the chase? Or have we evolved into emotionally famished beings demanding the right to have our cake and eat it, too? It seems that nothing is ever good enough. I can't help but wondering if the problem truly lies in "that" guy, but rather in us. Ideally, women prefer the middle ground. I have yet to find him, but he's somewhere. If you are in the same boat as me, I bid you happy hunting.
