Dear women of the world,
Allow me to introduce myself. Although some of you might already know who I am as you have called me this. And honestly, I can't tell if this thing you call me is a compliment or an insult. I'm a nice guy.
Before I air my grievances, please understand that I am not pounding the keys on my keyboard in fury and I am not doing this because I'm being bitter or spiteful. I'm typing this letter because it is a subject that has laid heavy on me for a while now.
Now that we've got that out of the way, let me tell you what perplexes me.
How can some of you possibly say that there are no nice guys out there when you have barely scratched the surface? I understand you saying that comes off as frustration but, to quote a line from Moliere's "Tartuffe," "Repetition of a lie can make it true." so therefore, if this lie keeps swimming around in your head that no nice guys exist, sooner rather than later, it will become truth.
Another thing. Do you really think I won't stand up for myself? There's a difference between standing up for what's right and what you believe in and being stupid and standing up for stupid things. Just because I'm nice doesn't mean I don't have a backbone. I just know when is the right time to use it. I pick my battles wisely and that turns you off? What a world we live in.
Every time I have asked for advice if I was looking to progress things with a woman, I got this advice from guys. "Dude you can't care about them." Wait, what? And get this. It works! Being a jerk actually works! Blowing girls off, treating them like garbage, and being an overall nasty person towards women actually works for a good bit of them as I have seen it unfold numerous times.
So ladies, that leads me into my next question. Why in the world do you go for that? I just can't wrap my brain around why in the world you would choose the guy that blows you off and treats you like crap. Oh and another thing. You complain about it yet you do nothing about it. "I want a nice guy." as the girl goes right to the next guy that acts the same way as the last guy did. But hey, we're nice. So we've got that going for us. But we get the same excuses over and over and over again. "I don't want to date." "I need to work on myself." Newsflash: we still have social media after you end things with us so we see you and your new boyfriend hugging and kissing and other couple stuff a couple of weeks after you end things with us.
Which leads me to my final question: If we're so nice, then why can't we get the truth from you? Yes, the truth hurts but I appreciate a girl that will tell me my faults so I can try and fix them. Did we really not deserve the truth of "Hey I like this other dude. I'm sorry!" If there is one thing that gets under my skin, it's when I devote attention and affection to a woman and they take it, crumple it up into a ball, then toss it in the trash. But hey, that is life, relationships, love, etc. Not every story is a happy ending. I understand that. But if you called me nice, don't you think I deserve better?
How does that old saying go? "Nice guys finish last." Well, nice guys, if you've made it this far, I have encouragement for you. Women will come and go. They'll crush you and not look back. That's life. But just because we may finish last does not mean we will never finish.
And thank you to all the tools and jerks that have made it this far. Your charm may override ours and you may lie excessively to get what you want, but it's thanks to you that women learn their lesson.
Now there are other questions I didn't include because they won't fit in my letter but I'll end this with something I read.
Nice guys may finish last, but at least we'll finish.
Sincerely,
A Nice Guy
