Default Editorial: Nice Guys

Well, on my posting spree, I decided I'd link y'all to this article I recently read. It's an editorial about how nice guys finish last, and after reading it, I definitely sympathize. This describes a good chunk of my life, but lets hear what you all think.

Or you can RIGHT click on it and open in a new window. Then the horiz scroll must be a mile long. Best to copy the txt and paste in wordpad or get dizzy from the horiz scroll.
Yes, the article sure has a lot of truth in it, which is why Ann Landers always gets plenty of letters asking " Where are all the nice guys " ? , after they get tied up with an a**hole.

You know. You guys really stink. Maybe if you weren't trying to go for the idiot chicks, with big boobs and butts, you would realize there are some of us that are really nice.

Why don't you try going for the brainiacks -- oops, I forgot there can't be any. All girls are idiots - and like the article said you all fall right into the asshole category.

Clearly there are some generalizations being made, but I don't think the article said that all chicks were stupid in the sense that they went for assholes.

Think about this though: are the nice guys going to be the ones who are only interested in the "big boobs and butts?" I'll make a generalization and say no, they generally won't. The assholes, like the article said, are just interested in getting some action (involving the "big boobs and butts"). Not to say that nice guys don't appreciate some nice physical features on women, but that's generally not their only interest (if it were, then I think by the article's definition they would no longer be nice guys, but assholes).

I also don't think the article ever said there weren't chicks who don't fall for the assholes. I know for a fact that there are both kinds of women, and never claimed otherwise.

Propig, I sense there might be some bitterness about chicks with "big boobs and butts," based on your saying that guys only go for them. Wouldn't that then be supporting the article? I think that chicks who fall for the assholes probably are assholes themselves, to some extent, and therefore deserve the assholes. These chicks, however, use nice guys simply as objects to fill what's lacking in the asshole boyfriends they have. Hopefully, the nice guy eventually realizes what's going on, and will then devote his attention to the nice women, who will reciprocate the attention and feelings.

When I talk to women, who I feel to be those who go for assholes, and say "why aren't there any nice guys?" I reply, "There are, and in fact, you know him. The guy you ignore, but is such a great friend...he's the one" (well, something to that extent).

I don't resent the girls. It's the guys. For the longest time, whenever I met a guy, he always seemed to be after one thing. I always gave him a chance to prove me wrong and I was always right. Until one day. I met a guy and actually ended up spending the night at his house. He never even tried to lay a hand on me. I grew to respect and like him very much. Unfortunately, before I could really get to know him, he died of an insulin overdose.

Not all nice guys finish last. Many finish first. It all depends on where you look...............

I did not mean to make it sound like I was jumping on anyone, but, being pretty much the only girl posting to this site, I did not appreciate the stereotype. That and I was having a really crappy day at work (all guys) and needed to vent. Sorry.
