Hai Gaiz,
I was on Tumblr today, like every other day, and I came across another post about the whole "Nice Guy" thing. People are always saying things like "the nice guy finishes last" and "girls say they want a nice guy, but they really go after the bad boys" and stuff like that. Well my opinion on all of that is that it's all a load of bullshit. Bull. Shit. Plain and simple.
First off, who is defining this "nice guy?" The "nice guys" themselves! They complain about how they hang out with girls they like, and act like their friends, and then get "friend-zoned" because of it. Well yeah! You're hanging out with a girl, making no indication that you like her, acting like her friend, and you get upset when she sees you as such? I have a problem with the whole "friend-zone" concept to begin with. How are we supposed to know when a guy likes us when you act like our friend? But that's another story.
Anyway, my point is that these "nice guys" are usually not nice guys. They just think they are because they aren't the typical douchebag. They are a more subtle douchebag. A douchebag who feels like he is entitled to a woman because he is her friend. That isn't a real nice guy. A real nice guy doesn't mind being just the friend of a girl he likes. A real nice guy will comfort a female friend, or any friend, without expecting anything in return. Ever. A real nice guy will act totally okay if his female friend decides to date someone else, even if he likes her. He will tell her if he thinks the guy isn't good for her, only because he wishes to protect her, not because he wants to break them up. And you tell me that these guys don't exist? Well, you're wrong. I know a few. I'm dating one.
And that takes me to my other point. Not all girls want to date the "bad boys," no sir. I have never been interested in a bad guy, sometimes I'm interested in guys who are too nice. A guy who seems at all "bad" to me sends me running. No, they are not attractive to me. No, the danger of a bad boy does not wet my whistle. And no, their rebellious attitude is not sexy. I'm not saying the appearance of the guy is at all an indicator. It's when you get to know a guy, you can usually tell a nice guy and a bad guy from one another, and a douchebag "nice guy" from a real nice guy if you have any observational skills at all. In general, "bad boys" are not exactly grade A man meat. And I know for a fact I am not the only girl who thinks this way. You say girls are looking in the wrong place, maybe you guys are looking at the wrong girls. Ever think of that?
And this applies to both males and females. Girls complain that they can't find the right guy because they aren't looking in the right places. (I know a lot of girls like this.) And then, as explained above, guys complain that the girls they like don't like them back and that they can't find anyone. Well they are looking in the wrong places too. I think a lot of people need to stop being shallow, or start opening up their minds to other kinds of people. You never know who you might find. So yeah, this was a slightly better thought out rant. Hope you enjoyed. XD
Much Love,
Jenna
amen!

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: People suck at communicating. I feel like that's the root of 90% of people's problems. There ARE women who are attracted to douchebags, but the men that pursue them end up with douchebaggy tendencies as a result of their efforts, just as you touched on. If people could just learn what they want, and articulate that to each other, the world would be a better place.
