The Oft Untold Plight
Of the “nice guy”
He is never #1 in her eyes, but she is the apple of his eyes and the peach of his cheek. She is perfect in every way in his mind’s sight, whereas he is perfect for meaningless conversations about nothing at all. To him, this is the prelude to the greatest love affair he almost has. But to her, this is the perfect love affair that she’ll never have. She desperately wants a lover in all aspects, but all she finds are crooks. He is that perfect lover she is wanting, but she never looks. This could go on for hours, but I choose to stop and ask why such is true. Well its simple, bad boys hog the limelight. Our generation is geared into thinking that all attention-grabbers are some type of hero. Or, they are worthy of all affection generated by what they have done. Usually, the one gaining the spotlight is a notorious fiend. Just think, who gets referred to the most, the out-house builder, or the demolition man? The out-house builder has only one special talent and he serves that need. You don’t talk about him. You call him only when you need him. The demo man? Well heck, he has a movie about himself, he’s slapped Shauna, or, my God, he’s killed Kenny! All these are fuel for topics of debate, and before long, he is all you think about. This is the reason “Nice Guys” have a short life expectancy. Because after the aforementioned treatment she administers, he just might turn rogue, no longer maintaining the status of “nice”. It is only then when the girl he sought after finds him cute!
