Alright boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Get your knives out, because in the tradition (at least of the last few weeks) of throwing some kind of tidbit out there for people to wrassle over, I bring you a fun one!
We’ve all heard of them, the nice guy (or Nice Guy, as the case may be.) Hell I’ve been called myself alternately a “Nice Guy” and a “nice guy” - in some cases the capital N and the lower case N. This is always a ripe topic for discussion, diversion and dissection — in some cases with some men and women squirming uncomfortably in the corner afterwards.
Tonight, we have point and counterpoint, a writeup of the classic Nice Guy perspective from two points of view. Read, enjoy, and discuss.
Heartless Bitches International - Why “Nice Guys” are often such LOSERS
best of craigslist : “What Happened to All the Nice Guys?”
I add nothing of my own to either one - as I feel there’s significant amounts of truth to BOTH takes. How do you feel?

Oh yes, I would be amiss if I didn’t throw this in. Its a third take on Nice Guys — one that takes a much deeper take on the discussion, and one that’s ultimately a bit more balanced overall. Its also quite a bit longer, and a little too… well.. NICE for the point of this post. divalion’s “No More Mr. Nice Guy”

I’m being driven bugfuck nuts by the parents.
In effect — the lack of a girlfriend basically makes me a social outcast. (In the circles that my parents walk, that is..) The lack of interest in simply dating the first person I find is making it worse. *sigh*
Its as if not having a girlfriend means I have no friends at all. I can see it now. The next social event, I’ll need to bring a ringer, a stand-in, or I’m going to never hear the end of it..
*smashes head into wall repeatedly till he faints*
*edit* Note — Its not that I’m saying I don’t want to date. Jeesh, if you read my journal its pretty clear that isn’t the case… But the pressure just doesn’t help..

A few random tidbits to entertain and dismay.
-
Its an absolutely beautiful day here in the city. Blue sky, cool spring weather, the flowers are popping up everywhere.. A wonderful day to be indoors and feeling the full impact of this fully functional battle station allergy season.
-
Tax season is near its end! Its April 15th, either you’ve paid up or you’re still working, but don’t worry the pain is almost over. Unless you’re one of the procrastinators that likes to file extensions. For you there’s still another 2-4 months or more of pain, suffering, anticipation and dread.

TANSTAAFL. Unless you’re a rich trust fund baby. In you case, TSATAAFL.

Fans of the female body, rejoice. With the warm weather the eye candy will be there for you to see. So will the eye poison, the hidden traps, bait, and the occasional slap in the face.
-
Fans of the male body, rejoice. With the warm weather the eye candy will be there for you to see. Also appearing tonight will be plumber’s crack, hairy back, the wholf whistler and the occasional slap in the butt.

I checked out my profile in one of the dating applications on Facebook. Being open to opportunity is good. This also means I’m open to the scathing power of the fully functional battle station internet. Out of 150 some odd screenings, I ranked zero in the “would date” category, ranking me in the lowest percentile of Facebook. Mmmmm, excellent confidence builder — i t brings to mind a classic quote… “why don’t you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? We’re closed!”

I slipped my spinal column back into place on my own this morning. This felt wonderful. …. …… I slipped my spinal column back into place on my own.
-
I applied for a debt consolidation loan. If it passes, I may be able to look at moving by the end of the summer. If it fails, I’ll have slapped my credit rating back by half a year for nothing.
-
The price of oil is at an all time high! However, the cost of walking remains the same!
-
This is the end of the post. I’ve run out of beautiful dismaying thoughts.
You know this sounded like a fun post at the start, but I really did run out of things to say. Whoops.

Yeah I clean up and dress nice once in a while, despite what you might believe. And yes, I did go speed dating.
Satisfied? Yes? Okay glad, because damn I’m tired. My trip to the meet market (yes, I’m spelling it that way on purpose) was interesting and different. Sure, I’d do it again.
