For us Nice Guys

Sep 13, 2009 18:33

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who ( Read more... )

yeah, I'm in the settling down mood recently. Until I get a girl who'll like me for me, I'll keep on looking.

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't get a toast just because you don't "take advantage of" or assault your drunk friend when you're walking her home. That's a ridiculously basic tenet of human decency. You don't get a prize for not raping or murdering someone--it doesn't make you special, it just means you're not completely evil.

no, but you do get it for being there genuinely. For being a friend when the other person needs you. There's a world of difference between a genuine nice-guy and one who does it just to get into his friend's pants.

I just stumbled upon this, and I want to say thanks, basically. As one of the nice guys you talk about, I can say that sometimes I need someone to say this kinda thing to keep me going. Excellent sentiments, well put.

Cheers man. Everyone needs something to keep them going sometimes :) thanks for the comment.

Thanks, I really needed this. I'm one of those nice guys and it's a bitch... I think I'm kinda at the point of breaking.

agreed

Everyone needs a reassuring pat on the sohulder now and again to say it's gonna be alright eventually. Sometimes eventually takes forever to get there though.

I know this comment will probly get deleted, but it needs to be said:
This, and the accompanying one about the "Good Girls," needs to stop circulating the internet. It fosters a feeling of entitlement among people who are too passive-aggressive to consider that maybe the reason she (or he) doesn't think of you that way is because you've never given her reason to. I'm not saying "Be a nicer guy." I'm saying "Ask her out, you idiot!" If you're friends with her because you're hoping to eventually get her to notice you, you're misrepresenting your intentions and you're not that nice a guy.

Read this, and a couple of the following strips: http://somethingpositive.net/sp02142004.shtml
If you identify with the blonde guy, you need to change your ways.

I don't delete negative comments because everyone's entitled to an uncensored opinion. Your feedback is appreciated, but I think that some of us "nice guys" out there, even though the world owes us nothing, we always have the sentiment of owing the world. It's not passive-aggressive behaviour, I am not aggressive against anyone, I'm just saying that some of us nice-guys just need to keep on keeping on, because someday, people will realise what we're about and when that day comes, we're actually going to be glad we never gave up. I assume, unlike us, you've never been through the abovementioned situations, and I can understand that it may sound a bit like whining, but I'm not whining, I'm just trying to inspire.
