This is a tribute to the nice guys.
The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends,
that endure hours of whining and ****ing about what ***holes guys are,
while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always
provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs,
those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and
sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is
in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart
/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because
they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of
the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern.
This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her
privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends
back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for
the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the
creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for
compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by
the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who
are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being
boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and
unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and
unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and
when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting
two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you
thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was
all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she
interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant
about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the
most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was
immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two
hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor.
This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows
that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you
to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted
shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing
to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited
purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re
nice like that.

The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more
disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should.
And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I
have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at
other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can confirm is that
many girls are just illogical, manipulative ****es. Many of them claim they
just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they
say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he
would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with
so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating
of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the
lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male
friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys,
girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the
connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what
they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete jerk now!). But one thing
I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last
forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of
thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them
for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier,
finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys.
You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described
as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your
patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party
escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile.
For all the crazy, insane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations
where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement,
and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society,
and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Very nice.. There are a lot of nice guys here that I call friends so thank you!
