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 shouldnt
worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best
killing spree youd ever orchestrated in Halo2 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 didnt 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 were just friends! And even though you were invited
purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways.
Because youre nice like that.
The nice guys dont often get credit where credit is due. And I
wish I could logically explain this trend, but I cant. 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
b**ches. 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, hes too nice to date or he would be a good
boyfriend but hes not for me or he already puts up with so much
from me, I couldnt 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 cant figure out why the connection breaks
down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do
(Im going to sleep with this complete a** now!). But one thing I
can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesnt
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 youre 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.
