i think i've got a lot to rant and rave to make up for not blogging the past few days. so getting on to it.
i was on my favourite GURL website when i came across this comic. it's kinda on the old side but considering that rachel nabors is my fave webcomic authoress there, i made it a point to read EVERY SINGLE ONE of her comics -including the ones i skipped previously. and lo and behold, i came across this - http://www.gurl.com/showoff/comix/pages/0,,605672_714667-2,00.html
read this comic and then you can continue on the next following sites.

2. http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2007/12/16/the-internet-nice-guy-rears-his-ugly-head-once-more/
and the GRAND FINALE.

and for those who just want the short version. the no. 3 link was anonymously posted by 'A Recovering Nice Guy' who was 'taken advantage of' by what he deems an undeserving female.
lemme quote parts of his letter to the 'bitch' who hurt him and changed him into a 'not-so-nice guy'. btw, i'm not attacking guys. this applies to girls too. we've all been something like this before. but we're human, we make mistakes.
(p.s. the guy's stuff will be in italics)

What happened to all the nice guys?
The answer is simple: you did.
like WTFFF man. what did we women do to you?

See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He’d tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn’t feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were fucking treated you.
oh yeah. i'm sure most girls would have come across this 'nice guy' before. btw what NORMAL guy would follow a girl shopping? even my dear bf doesnt follow me. he sits outside and waits, rather impatiently, but he's not perverted or clingy enough to follow me around the shop. that's just FUR-REAKY. also, which female would run to 'nice guy' first when she's got plenty of female friends who would have gone through the same issues, wont they offer better support and understanding?

At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. hey probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you.
i have a vague idea that EVERYONE laughed because they knew you were borderline obssessive. probably feared for said female's life. by the way, i think we would have treated a puppy dog with a lot more loving than you, 'nice guy'.

Besides, he totally wasn’t your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn’t know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.
oh, i'm sorry. did it hurt that i want a boyfriend like Brad Pitt/Leo/George Clooney/Chase Crawford and has enough money to keep my great-great-great-great-grandkids swimming in money that they won't have to work until they die?

So, now, you’re single again, and after having tried the bar scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, “What happened to all the nice guys?”
OMG. he cant even spell. its DOUCHEBAG, not DOUCHE BAGS. but you're a WIND BAG i confess. what happened to nice guys? THEY GOT MARRIED. duh. that kind of man is worth his weight in gold and i doubt they stay single that long despite being dateless in high school.

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy.
-random guy sits and listen to my woes-
me (feeling better): thanks for listening to me! i feel so bad, there must be some way to repay you. -thinks-
me: i know! let me give you a BJ~! it'll be the most mindblowing exp you'll ever have!
LIKE HELLO?!?!! for being MY friend, i have to pay back in kind? even the barter system was better than this. if you wanted physical attention, find a ho, give her 30 bucks and she'd make you the happiest man alive. wtff is this? if that were the case, i'd have a line of females awaiting payment. good golly miss molly!

So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do:
1.) Build a time machine.
2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass.
3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab ahold of it.
I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.
If you were five years younger.
GOOD LORD. if i were five years younger, i'd be twelve/thirteen. I'M JAILBAIT YOU SICK PERVE.

So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've fucked yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bullshit and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't fucking want you, now. Sincerely,
A Recovering Nice Guy
what the.... fucked myself over? i'd give myself a pat on the back and say 'NICE SAVE, LAURA'. who'd want to get saddled with a saddo like 'nice guy'? i'm pretty capable of making my opinions clear which obviously 'nice guy' could not which is why you're still a loser while the rest of the world has moved on.

p.s. i know this is like from 2007 but i just read it and i felt totally annoyed and disgusted with this guy's behavior. so i just had to say my share.

what we could have been, 10:18 pm.
