A friend commented that she wanted to find a nice guy, to which I burst out laughing. She’s a senior and a great girl, but I had to respond like a jerk. “Oh now you’re ready for a nice guy? What have you been doing the past few years? You go for the loser guys over and over again, knowing exactly what they wanted, ignoring the nice guys, who now have either become losers themselves in their attempt at ‘companionship’ or have decided to play for the other team.”
Nice guys, how do they do? Not that great. I myself am a nice guy and have combated this handicap with alcohol. It’s amazing how “charming” (less caring) you are when you’ve had a few (and have plenty of loser friends to bring out the best in you). But that doesn’t change the fact that I see plenty of my friends who are unable to take advantage of a girl because they are looked over for those who can and do.
But it’s a two way street I must admit. Nice girls may get overlooked as well. Who’s fault is it? The Jezebel type girls who seem to always captivate the guys attention? The guys themselves who always seemed to be captivated by the Jezebel’s? Well with girls, I point to an obvious self esteem issue.
Both ways of acting I see as defense mechanisms against dealing with us guys, who of course are immature and treat you as objects.
But what is there to do? Guys who suck, and girls who are stupid, all of course end up in pain and heartache, with those who are the nicest and end up last. Bottom line, you gotta have faith I guess. Maybe everyone will grow up (guys taking much longer only cause you girls keep putting up with us, or we find new ones that will). But remember, we’ve made this situation for ourselves, and have no one to blame but ourselves for the choices we make. Play the game, cause that’s all we got. Try real hard, hope you come out on top.

Lighter note: Seniors, see you at 200 nights, chicks, wear something backless or with a high slit, or both. Thanks.
