Now don't get me wrong, I love me some nice guys. There's nothing wrong with being a nice guy. They make great friends (I know, something nice guys hate hearing. But it's true!). And if I was single, I would probably take the nice guy next door any day over the quintessential bad boy - that is, if I had to choose and had no option of the perfect mix between the two, cuz y'all know me & my thing with balance.
Although some bad boys make it hard for a girl to choose...
However, I CAN'T stand it when dudes pull the "nice guy" card as if it cancels out other shortcomings, or even worse, when other people do it for that person. Being a nice guy does not automatically exempt you from other douche tendencies. There are many everyday examples of this curious dichotomy of likable & loser.
See:
_The holier-than-thou guy whose preachiness is off the charts. You never feel like you're having a conversation "with" him because it always seems like he's talking "at" you about some shiet he thinks you could learn from. But he's a nice guy!
_The dude whose "Do-I-Sound-Like-An-Asshole-Right-Now?" awareness meter seems to be broken 24/7. One too many snarky comments here and there. But I'm sure he never means it, because he's a nice guy!
_Not the ego-inflated jerk, but rather the one whose self-deprecation is just too much to deal with. We all do it, but you know the guy that never stops? But he's a nice guy!
_The bigot. Self-explanatory. But he's a nice guy??
Take home message of the day: I still have love for nice guys! Just remember that it isn't some disguise or excuse to engage in some dickish behaviors.
I'm going to be materialistic for a moment so here's my wishlist for the holiday season. I don't actually expect people to get me these things; it's more of a what-i'm-going-to-get-myself-with-christmas-money kinda deal.
+ Original penguin Aruba sunglasses + NARS & Urban Decay Makeup + New camera, preferably a Canon Powershot + Black winter coat + Clothes from H&M, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom + Black skinny jeans + Black leather bomber jacket (like this) + Nike zoom blazers size 7 + Flat brown leather boots + Plain v-neck tshirts in any color + Nintendo DS + Classic Ipod + Bangles, earrings, necklaces, scarves + Purple or sunshine American Apparel hoodie + Black or white clutch + Cute picture frames or cool deco for the room + Black or gray leggings/tights + Money for a new haircut/dye-job + Large purses or messenger bags for school
And that's all I can think of for now.
On another note, is anyone else getting sick of Beyonce these days? I'll admit she's probably one of the hardest working artists right now but C'MON I don't need to see her face every commercial break in that horrendous HD Direct ad. Apparently everyone else at the apartment loves it except for me (I'm also the only one not running on testosterone mind you). Dear god it's called overexposure honey. Call me a hater, I don't care. If you're like me, you'll appreciate this video. All hail Queen Bee.
