there are a few things that I have found disturbing with girls ever since high school and I found an article on the matter that pretty much makes you think

I hope you don't mind a stranger in your journal--I wandered over from roleplayers (your post there will probably get deleted by the moderator, just so you know) and this essay caught my attention. Since I'm going to be rather caustic in my response, let me say that despite the username I'm more of a Nice Guy than an Asshole as described in the essay. I've also been married for about six years

no, not at all. You are welcome to comment here. Well, I will say that you overall point is accurate. Yes, if the "Nice Guy" would show some backbone and not wait out and see if she will come to her senses. I know this for a fact. I wasted 4 yrs of my life on a girl that I never hooked up with.

Rather than drone on in my usual rambling fashion, I'll just link to an essay that sums up my feelings on the Nice Guy vs Asshole debate, if you don't mind:

Thanks again for posting the article, I hadn't ever come across that one before.

Thanks for commenting. I have read the post that you sent me. I agree with some of the points but only a little. Unfortunately with this topic, you are going to get the big two sides of the debate. Gender wise speaking. Its the whole "Male/Female Psychobabble" thing

I believe one of the biggest indicator of nice guy vs asshole-in-nice-guy's-clothing is this
