whispers,gossip,full out lies
rumors,envy and pain
on these the world seems to thrive
relentless as a pouring rain.
judging by appearance instead of acts,
they tell you how you should live,
never knowing all the facts,
before their opinions they give.
this world is addicted to misery,
they share it with who they can,
passing the virus to all they see,
it run rabbid throughout the land.
our WORDS ARE SUCH POWERFUL THINGS,
they can build or they can destroy,
to someone depressed it can give them wings,
or with their emotions toy.
so break the addiction,don't spread the hate,
speak kindly,live and let live,
instead use your words to create,
it'll be understandind and happieness you give...

if you wouldn't lower your standards when buying a car, or a house... why would you lower your standards with something so important... your relationships...

being relaistic is important, settling and lowering standards... someone simply get's hurt in the end...

been there, tried that -- realized it would never work.

Hahahaha!! Thankyou. It was fun! And a very out of the norm night....

No I agree, he looks like a run of the mill, real guy.


Not some whiny, whingy, moaning, complaining.......... victim.


Just be REAL Darkknight....don't lower yourself to play games...stick to being authentic.

the way these times are, you will run into shallow people for sure, but there are great people here, too many friends to count, and i've met one very special here that has my heart..... and where you are there are many as well, if you look, that are not hung up into this temporary society that is advertising superficial qualities in people....media generalizes!!!

i think if you are just yourself......one, the "nice guy" image doesn't apply, because you are behaving in regular terms, how people are behaving to you, and if they behave badly to you, you have to decide how to act. you can change this, by putting their very behavior back in their court, and not lose face with anyone, by diverting the scenario back to their diotribe or rant, such as" wow, you're really having a time of it! if i can help you to get your day to be more positive, well, let me help", and they will respect you, and that includes handsome or pretty parties of both sexes, whether they are bottom-wipes or not, for you weren't nice or mean...just truthful. it will get you respect, and maybe a friend....
these guys you speak of......
being a tough guy to "get chicks" gets you no-where, and usually the wrong "chick" anyway. to get the attention of the right one, back-up your talk, listen, and be a man of action to back up your talk with quiet positive methods to get your respect that you so much seem to desire.

"tough guys" i've seen a dime a dozen, and they'll leave the woman hanging everytime when the road gets rough...a STRONG GUY, how-ever, will be there to see whatever it is to the end, and respect will follow, and never does he have to act like a jerk. He's a man's man, and a gentle ladie's man as well.

"tough guys" run from STRONG GUYS. unless they have a way to shoot them in the back......but if they do that,,, STRONG GUYS have friends......

so..........................be a strong guy

you are obviously familiar with leading men and super-heros,(batman) what qualities do you and they have in common? what makes women look at them, in or out of their regalia? what are their actions like? be yourself, but observe and absorb these traits into yourself....

It's funny you don't look like the typical "nice guy."

Im hoping so!!

I like nice guys! BUT (big butt ) I think there is such a thing as "too nice". No one wants a person that is so willing to please that they end up being a doormat. The "Whatever you wanna do", the "I like what you like" and the "I'm flexible for you" guy isn't very attractive because he's willing to compromise himself for someone else. JMO

I disagree.What I see so far in this thread are some sound minded ppl.offering this young man some beneficial advice that he will greatly benefit from.There's a huge diff.between whining & informing someone.Yes there are many whiners at this site & much more however your comment is not applicable at the moment.Godspeed!Cy

What does it mean "nice guys finish last"?

Finish last at what?

I can't find my keeeeeeys

my socks need waaaaaaashing

I'm sleeeeeeeeepy where's my coooooooffeeeeeeeeeeee (that one is real)
