Oh, fear and loathing you have truly peaked my curiousity. Please explain how hippies are oxymorons, I'm dying to know.

I think for sure hippies are less idealist than anarchists.

Thought we was talking about the nice guy's?

I whole heartily agree with this for if one has to claim they are something or prove it then others don't see them that way.

Besides in reality it is not the nice guy I'm looking for it is one that can be a man act like a man but knows that communication is the key to a relationship as well.

Ohhhhhhhhh and using the theory that if they are a hippie they are lower then low just burnt your brownie points with me for I know some that look and talk the hippie so called way but........are some of the best people you will ever run into.

And by the way that goes with bikers too I have met bikers that would do anything for a friend and treats a woman like they are gold. Don't let the rough exterior of a person fool you. (by the way all my brothers friends are bikers) So yes I do know what I'm talking about even though I have never dated one I have the highest respect for them and never judge them for the way they portray themselves. You see that is not who they are within.

Yay bikers!

Sorry i nodded off

Watch what you say,you step on oldtimers toes???
They know it all about Life!

Txsgal, I thought that what you described was a nice guy. It's very refreshing to hear that the majority of mature women don't see nice guy's as less than masculine, and very motivating to recieve all those kicks in the arse for being whiny, I'll try to curtail it in the future. But I'm still dying to know what makes hippies oxymorons.

I didn't see the original "nice guy" post so I don't know to what the others refer unless it WAS the typical "nice guy" posts we see here. And, since when are we allowed to use the word "d!ck" on here? Thought that was verbotten!!

As for this post, I understand what the op is trying to say. I will take a genuinely NICE GUY over a jerk anyday. But genuine means just that. He had better OWN being a nice guy. Nice guy doesn't mean "perfect". It means owning good character and being mindful of the world around him, pretty much as the op described, and making the right choices is NATURAL for a nice guy.

It's the men who claim to be a nice guy who are only behaving like nice guys to get what they want that rattle and peeve me. They want what they want and will "morph" into nice guy mode to get what they want, and once they have what they want, they morph back to their normal.

But, that said, the genuine nice guy also had better have a stellar personality and a lot in common with me and be attractive to me, or he's relegated to the "nice guy friend pile".

You know after that post, it makes me think about the "nice guys" ive met, that were just angry little nasty resentful men..


EWW!! *POP* em right on the head!

oohh god. i'm desperately craving one of those right about now.

thanks a lot

As we all know, a "nice guy" doesn't proclaim to be one. He just is. This thread and, all other's like them are pointless.

I auctually have been doing some thinking, to me at least, when someone claims they are a nice guy. Well I think they are full of it in all honesty. You don't need to tell someone you are a nice guy, people should automatically know you are one. I gave up on trying to prove I was a nice guy. I may have good intentions, but the nice guy who steps aside for his buddy to move in might lose out on something (more than just getting in bed, I am talking about almost all aspects of life.)

The phrase nice guys finish last is true to its fullest, but not because they are pushed aside, but because they step aside. Me personally, life is a game, and I am out to find that grand prize for me. I know it will involve alot of competition and I plan on fighting for my grand prize when I see it.

Either way, thats my opinion, burn me at the steak, agree with me, call me whatever names you want, just please, don't call me late for dinner.

I count 9,773 since I've been here....

C'mon, my brain was finally challenged ,fear and loathing, by a new idea to wrap my mind around, and you won't offer the pearl of wisdom that caused it to perk up it's ears? Really, I must know. how is a hippie an oxymoron? I'm sorry SKPCG and all others who were offended by me saying dick. I only meant it as a more colorful description of a jerk. I didn't realize that it was unacceptable. I thought we just weren't supposed to cuss.

ok so point taken.

Hippy=Peace, love, harmony...in and of itself is a contradiction, there will never be, has never been, and simply cannot be full peace, love, and harmony. Get off your pedestal of life and go outside, no one likes you for this or that...really meager reasons of hate; color of the skin, religious beliefs, which side of politics you are on. Hell, just above you see this "I think for sure hippies are less idealist than anarchists."...we live in a world full of hate and comical idealness.

There will never be peace so long as man roams the world, want peace? Man must not exist. People don't like me cause I'm an anarchist, people don't like me because I don't believe in a God...people don't like me for some of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my life. People suck, buy a dog.

I was sincere in my query about the word d!ck as we used to not even be able to discuss Cheney on here without it being edited out. I know they've made some changes to tighten up on the nasty euphemistic, (yes, somewhat another oxymoron), terminology for anatomical and sexual parts, so I am shocked they allow that word NOW!!

Wisest words I have heard in my life.

Earthy I hope you weren't referring to my question as to how are hippies oxymorons as being being angry or resentful, I was just curious about her point of view. I'm not challenging her opinion, but I like to hear things that make me think.
