"Nice Guy" Syndrome

"Nice guys" who think women owe them sex

I'm sure you've met one of them before: "nice guys." (Not to be confused with an actual nice guy.) They open the door for you, listen to you, and even treat you like an actual person! Everything is going great, you become good friends with the guy, you listen to each others' problems and care about each other. It seems too good to be true, and of course, it is. After being nice to you, nice guys think you owe them a relationship, or in even more disgusting cases, sex.

Come on, nice guys. Really? The term "nice guy" here is so hypocritical, considering these 'nice guys' have their heads so far up their asses that they think they're entitled to a girl. What's nice about expecting a girl to do sexual favors for you or commit to you? You hear these guys whining constantly about how, "Nice guys finish last." These guys believe they're the knights in shining armor there to rescue you from jerks; however, they're more like wolves masquerading as sheep, preying on women who have issues with their current boyfriends.

So what happens when you reject these needy, pathetic guys? They start whining about another fundamentally sexist social construct: the "friendzone." This magical zone functions as some sort of romantic limbo, and is usually all in the nice guy's head. If you reject a nice guy, you are, in their words, shallow. Or, you "don't know what you're missing." These 'nice guys' tend to go for women already in relationships as well, like parasites trying to leech off of relationship problems. There's an unmistakable parallel they seem to draw between women and property, as if they're entitled to women after being nice. I mean, come on, women are not ATMs; it's not a right to deposit kindness and withdraw sex from women.

Ladies, if you suspect you have one of these guys in your life, cut him out immediately or make sure he knows you don't feel enough pity to date his sorry ass. And nice guys, reality check: the only reason girls don't want to date you is your disgusting leeching and massive amounts of self-pity. Grow up and find a girl who isn't already in a relationship and stop whining about 'finishing last.' It won't help you get a girl.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
