The one who you made the promise to that if neither of you are married by the time you’re 40 then you two will get married. The girl that you ask to help you pick out the best outfit and the best cologne for your first date with some random chick you asked out at a bar.This is to honor the girl who patiently gives their guy friends “girl advice” while watching their friend’s girlfriend manipulate and twist his heart around until finally she’s had enough and is bored enough to cheat on him and dump him. Then in a blatant rebound he comes to her and makes a move on her because his bed feels empty that night. This is to the girl that all the guys flirt with but never ask out because she’s only loved in a “brotherly” way. The girl that is sweet, smart, and honest but not hot enough in that supermodel sort of way to get noticed. The one that is beautiful in her own natural way but is overlooked because of all the made up, faked up girls out there who share the IQ of a blender. The girl who studied in school instead of sleeping around and who went to prom in a group of friends rather than go with a guy who just expected her to put out. This is to the girls that don’t feel the need to wear push-up bras and skimpy clothes to attract a guys attention because they know that they won’t attract the kind of guy that will respect her even though they know that any guy that will respect her will be ogling after the girls who are wearing push-up bras and skimpy clothes wishing they had the courage to ask them out.This is dedicated to the girls that the guys call late at night and have secret friendships with. When late at night they get called up by their nocturnal friends and talk and laugh into the wee hours of the morning but the next day he passes without so much as a glance. This is for the girls that don’t gossip and complain and for the girls who will cook breakfast for their guy friends when they have a hangover and the girl they had spent the night with had disappeared with the moon. For the girls who don’t kiss and tell and who, well let’s face it, pretty much don’t kiss at all because their too busy saving their guy friend’s butts when an ex girlfriend comes along with her new boyfriend and her guy friend is so crushed because he hadn’t moved on yet so she pretends to be his girlfriend so he can save face while on the inside she wishes that one day they won’t have to pretend even though she knows that he “loves her… but platonically.” So while I also raise my glass to the nice guys who are claimed to finish last, I again raise my glass to the nice girls, who are always “loved like a little sister” and who are overlooked when their guy friends have on their “hot girl radar”. I trust that maybe these nice guys that are claimed to be out there will one day find this nice girl and help her believe that she isn’t just “one of the guys” but in fact a beautiful woman that makes all the difference in the world to someone.

Very Nice!!!!

Look what sis by the way your name is not everybody is the same, there is good and bad on every culture but that doesn`t mean u got to point out SALVADORIANS maybe u got involve with the wrong guy and he happen to be a serote.I`m a proud salvatrucho and i`m not even half of that, i know a lot of ecuatorianos, nicaraguenses,ticos guatemaltecos, catrachos, mejicanos amigos mios that could fall on the same categoria yo los conosco pero no significa que son mala gente so  porque no tratas de nuevo To some people yo fui categorisado asi hasta que me conocieron mas afondo  ...

Ode to the Nice Guys



 


It seemed very long at first, so I skipped it.  BUt it's worth reading.  It's true.  Nicely said. 


Nice guys are  the faceless, nameless heros,  no credit given.    (but they are not always unnoticeable )

Good question. I look at it this way. Treat people the way you want to be treated. If you want people to respect you, you have to respect yourself first. Even though you take the time to  listen and you provide the shoulder to cry on does not mean that you should also carpet the floor they walk on with your back. There is somone for everyone. Keep looking.  

PREACH ON EL REP!

This is definately true. Nice guys are just place mats for girls to step on, wipe their shoes with and then be thrown back in the closet until the next time their shoes need wipping. Even when a nice guy is lucky enough to find himself in a relationship....often enough it is only to be at the mercy of his female partner who will take advantage of the "...it's ok..he'll understand...he's a nice guy" type of attitude. Why is this?

It's a shame, but most women are suckers for drama and nice guys don't really provide for it. We also like a challenge and we're a bit masochistic. I don't know, there's no way to explain why us women fall for jerks, but we just do. This was really nice, though.

Ode to the Nice Guys

This rant was written for the Wharton Undergraduate Journal

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and ****ing about what ****s guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn't worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you'd ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn't have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing "serious" between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: "oh, but we're just friends!" And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you're nice like that.

The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don't seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can't. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative ****es. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship." Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I'm going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.
:)





DAMMMM that was long!!! jaja anyways i find this very true to a certain extent but nice guys bring it to themselves and its like nowadays you need a little bit of that bad ass in you or else every girl will walk all over you. Im not saying to become a player but to know when to draw the line
