So, last week I realized that the (Internet) world was really excited for the premiere of the sixth season of the lovable, addictive comedy series, "New Girl." As a huge fan of the show, I was excited to learn about it too, BUT only because it meant season five was put on Netflix and this girl started on the "New Girl" train late and is only finishing up season four. However, it got me wondering — will I continue to fall in love with Nick Miller as the show goes on?
The answer is probably. But why? I'm here to tell ya.
He's attractive.
Let's get the more "superficial" one out of the way - mostly because it's the most obvious. Looks do matter, guys, and there's no denying that he's a cutie (Shoutout to Jake Johnson who sort of deserves this credit). He may not have a chiseled jaw or a clear-cut six-pack, but he still has us swooning. Plus, I think he made the Dad Bod cool before it was.
He's hilarious, kind, and charming.
Come on, Nick's got a killer personality. He's always making anyone in/visiting the loft laugh with his ridiculous jokes, ideas, or inventions, but he's also the one they all go to if they need advice or are upset. Despite his self-deprecating humor, girls like him because he's sociable, flirtatious without even trying, and just so damn likable.
Regardless of what he says, he has an expressive face for every emotion.
Especially what's referred to as his "turtle face".
He's an excellent friend.
Even when they're in the midst of a fight (or in Jess's case, breakup), he puts those he loves first and can't stay mad at them for too long. He gets annoyed easily, but is always ready to make up right away so they can get back to having a beer and discussing zombies.
He provides the best quotes.
As a sucker for quotes, I genuinely appreciate when a person or character provides me with some good ones and Nick Miller has definitely delivered. Some of my favorites are:
"I'm not convinced I know how to read. I've just memorized a lot of words."
"Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably."
"I like getting older, I feel like I'm aging into my personality."
"When life gives me lemonade, I just turn it into a bunch of lemons."
And as much as he loves to joke, you gotta love how Nick can be sentimental
"I know this isn't going to end well, but the middle part is going to be awesome."
There's nothing wrong with falling for a character once in a while, and this one is even more guilt-free because he's no prince charming. But why should he be? So, yes, Schmidt is charming, attractive, muscular, and driven, but I'm just a Nick Miller type of girl (as I believe many are).There's something very comforting about someone who doesn't have it all together most of the time but still manages to live such an impactful, happy life.
Cheers to that, Nick.
