This is to all who think that nice guys always finish last, those who believe that nice guys never become more than friends, that they never get out of the friend zone. We do not have to finish first, because our women always come first.
This is for you Silas Nyanchwani, a recovering nice guy, who did not realize that while nice guys finish last, they get to sleep in.
This is dedicated to us guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on; to us guys who always hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back because we know when someone actually needs us and we are always available. We know the little things that count and holding doors never get old.
This is in honor of us guys that always complement how beautiful our female friends are at the appropriate moment, because we know in her unpredictable world, we are one amazing source of consistency.
This is in honor of us guys with open minds, laid-back attitudes, and honest concern because we were taught to value honesty, sincerity and kindness.
This is us for us nice guys who actually get laid while faithfully playing by the rules because we know our appeal is not exterior to us. We know we do not have to play dirty to get in the sack; we do not have to take advantage of her in her lowest moments to get laid. We get bedded because we both feel it, we both want it.
I am a nice guy, I do thoughtful things for next to no reason (and they can be little tiny things, not huge gestures). I am kind and considerate of others around me, especially the woman I am interested in or that I am with. I am interested and I pay attention; I make an effort to care about the thing she cares about. I am a bit of geeky and damn proud of that; I have a strong interest in learning and being aware of the world around me. I like to engage in meaningful discourses all night without thinking of getting in the sack.
I am nice guy; I do not mind escorting my female friends home without going past her door. I am perfectly OK to be the backup date because I appreciate her. I am fine with sitting all night listening to her rant about her jerk boyfriend because it cheers me up when she is happy. I am a strong masculine man; by that I mean, not just physically strong (maybe not even), but emotionally and mentally strong; sometimes I can be vulnerable too. I understand the value and importance of communication, even if actually doing it is incredibly hard. I am passionate about the things that are important to me and I will defend them. I know that violence and abuse solve nothing.
I am a nice guy, I am comfortable in my own skin, meaning I can have an interest in something no one else does, but totally own it and because of that feel powerful. I am a man of character and morals. I will fight when I believe is right, but willing to admit when I am wrong (even if it is not easy). I am a good friend, someone who can listen, be supportive and be encouraging.
I am a nice guy because I don’t cheat on my woman. I am nice because I never make promises I don’t intend to keep. I am a nice guy because when I tell her I love her, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. I am a nice guy because I never pressure her, when she says no, I believe it.
I am a nice guy because I value her. It matters not if I am hurt; I will always be there for her. I am a nice guy because I give her my jacket when it’s cold, I hold her hand when she is scared, I always look into her eyes and tell her she is beautiful, I compliment her, I am patient with her and I listen without judging.
I am a nice guy because I will not only give her my umbrella in the rain, but I will walk with her. I am a nice guy because even if she doesn’t want anyone around her, I am always present because I know she needs me. I am a nice guy because when she says she is fine to walk home alone, I insist on taking her. I am a nice guy because I am not perfect and I do not hide it.
So yes I am sorry I am a nice guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
