Even though I'm a pretty mean and cynical person myself, I tend to have a lot of "nice guy" friends. Common things I notice about the "nice guy" is that they tend to have a soft spot for girls, but it's usually pretty hard to believe they are a member of the "more perverted" gender. I guess one of the big issues is why are they the most frequent victims of heartbreaking girls?
Personally, there's nothing wrong with the nice guy. Nice guys are perfect gentlemen. They're loyal, maintain a pleasing level of sensitivity, and everything about them seems so sincere and genuine. From my experience with my own nice guy friends, they tend to fall for the wrong girls. I don't know, maybe they just want to have a partner that has an opposite personality. Although they're nice and all, they tend to go for a more demanding girl or someone that doesn't really know how to dish out rejection too well. The fact that the nice guys thirst for the most brutal rejections must be just another cruel trick that life has up its sleeve. --Or maybe nice guys are massochistic, who knows?
Just like the nice guy feels like they're not outgoing or attractive enough to attract "the girl of their dreams", there are tons of ladies out there who feel the exact same way. That said, don't get too hung up on a single rejection. Like I've expressed before, if a relationship is meant to happen, it will; don't dwell on ridiculous fantasies or beat yourself up about something that you can't do anything about. Personally, I wouldn't mind dating the nice guy, and I'm sure there are plenty of girls out there with a similar opinion. Nice guys just have to be patient enough to wait for the right girl to come around. :)
ah the nice guy syndrome. "too nice", and never having the sense of adventure/danger as another guy. Definitely agree with what you've said, falling for the wrong girl...there's an idea one can dwell on for awhile.

ReplyDeleteah bah that sounded stupid.... anyways- the nice guy is almost always seen as that "friend" they talk to. especially when it comes to things like their love life and their problems about another guy etc. Quite frustrating, especially when they are using the "nice guy" as a shoulder to lean on until they can sort their life out a bit.
ReplyDeleteDue to the nice guy's nature helping someone else tends to come before helping himself. andddd that is the shortcoming of the nice guy. They help someone, and after get tossed to the side and forgotten.
