Guys Like Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by overanalyzed 

Cover art for Guys Like Me lyrics by Aimee Mann

I think this one is about being attracted to men who exude macho, but are emotional infants. Sort of falling for the strong silent type. The problem is these guys lure women in, but have no real substance to their personality. They do not express emotions or deal with conflict in mature ways. Frankly, they do not have to since the pool of women drawn to them seems inexhaustable. The kind of guy who is cool in high school is not the guy who will remain faithfull and help raise kids later in life. Aimee does a very wonderful job of lyrically illustrating this simple point. She is a wonderful writer.
