Nice guys

by Andrew   Jul 13, 2005


This is for you nice guys out there.

So have any of you guys out there been called “the nice guy”?
Does this stereotype on you give you joy or fill you with resentment?
Well in my case I feel both sides of this double-edged sword.

Going through life I have been called the one nice guy.
I have been told that I was the nicest guys that these girls have ever met.
I’m the one guy who these girls turn to for help with their troubles.
I get praised for being different from the other guys and that I would be the perfect guy.
I am like the shoulder that these girls cry on and find comfort in times on distress.
I honor their problems and help them through the rough times with honest concerns.
They know that I respect every facet of them are a women.
Yet I these feelings for me will never move beyond the shoulder to cry on.
Is this what its means when people say nice guys finish last?

Is this the drawback to being the nice guy?
Do I not get credit for my nice actions and thoughts?
These girls tell me countless accounts of their lover’s faults.
Then they stick a dagger to my heat telling me that I would be a much better boyfriend.
Why is this the way life works for the nice guy?
Is his punishment for being too nice and open minded?
Was I wrong to support my friend as she longed for the love of her ex as I loved for her love?
How is it that she does not see the man here waiting for her?
Or is it the blunder of the nice guys to just be in the background?

This is for all the guys who have heard “this is the nicest thing someone have ever done for me” as the girl gets ready for her new hot date.

This is for all the guys who have heard girls say that you would make a great boyfriend, just to be left at home waiting for the call when she gets home from her awful date.

This is for all the guys who have loved the girl in secret just to support her wishes for the punk who makes her cry on the phone.

This is for all the guys who feel the need to be the nice guy since it gives you joy to make her happy no matter what.

so yeah this was just something for you nice guys to think about. Oh and also for you guils to think about next time you see that guy who has been there for you.
