-{ Ode To The Nice Girls }-
This is a tribute to the nice girls. These are the girls who are safe. The girls whom guys who have girlfriends are allowed to hang out with because they’re not viewed as a threat. These are the girls who dress respectably . . . they don’t go and get “skank clothes” and parade themselves around, catching the attention of every drooling, testosterone-filled boy on earth. These are the girls who are okay with going to chick-fil-a on a date, hanging out, watching a movie, playing a game, or doing some other low-cost, high-fun form of entertainment. Because after all, it’s really about the quality time that they spend with the guy and not the amount of money that is flowing from his pockets in order to please her every whim and desire (or so he thinks) during the date.
This is in honor of the girls who take the time to ask their guy friends “how’s life?” and to listen carefully when the answer is given. The girls who go out of their way to make cookies or cheer up male friends in distress. Yeah, we know “men are from Mars” and “women are from Venus,” but a simple “thank you” is pretty darn universal.
This goes out to the girls who must sit complacently while their guy friends discuss the “hotness” of the girl at the next table over. They watch as these guys date or lust over each and every self-centered, trashy, insecure, flirtatious, and flighty girl they come into contact with.
When asked, most guys say they would like to date a nice girl. However, when faced with such an opportunity, they claim that “I love her . . .like a little sister” or “there are no such things as nice girls. They’re all evil.” These guys continue to complain about how all girls are “manipulative” and “gossipy” and wonder why in the world they all go to the bathroom at the same time.
But, we must confess, there are guys out there who realize the value of their nice friends who are girls. These are the guys who should be praised for their willingness to go with the flow, hang out, and chill. These guys, however, fail to consider these nice girls as anything more than friends or to step up to the plate and consider them for a Saturday night date or the upcoming dance even though they possess all the qualities that guys claim they are looking for. But, a note to the nice girls. Eventually all guys will (or at least should) realize that they don’t want to have a relationship with a girl who wants all of their money and who will only date them until a guy who is better or more enhancing for her social status comes along. So, until those guys realize what is right in front of them, a word of encouragement to the nice girls. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of being treated like a doormat. In all honesty, you are valuable. Clearly, you possess qualities that cause your guy friends to want to hang out with you. The world needs your encouragement, your willingness to take part in spontaneous activities, your ability to continue to enjoy life even though you watch as countless nasty, malicious female sirens blind the nice guys with their alluring ways. For all of the random, frustrating, and seemingly non-sensical things you tolerate, don’t lose hope. Nice guys do exist and will someday realize that nice girls, who are not evil, exist as well.
Fear not, your day will come. And perhaps your prince will too. | |

"For all of the random, frustrating, and seemingly non-sensical things you tolerate, don’t lose hope. Nice guys do exist and will someday realize that nice girls, who are not evil, exist as well."
Because sometimes... well, hope is an elusive thing.
And on some days, hope is your mind telling you to be patient, while your heart is begging you to stop trying. | |

Posted: 5/2/2005 8:24:57 AM | | the problem with nice girls are the wolf in sheeps clothing girls...the ones that are nice at first and then once you are commited to a certain degree do a 180 and decide they haven't partied and gotten crazy enough previously to deciding they were ready to settle down. I LOVE the nice girls, but I just can't seem to find any that are REALLY that way, they start there yes, but I have yet to find one that is that way down in her bones so to speak. *sigh* It makes me want to look for something not-so-nice because at least the expectations are lowered and disappointment doesn't run so high. | |

Posted: 5/2/2005 1:17:59 PM | Maybe because we tend to blend into the background too much? I dunno.
No diva qualities. No temper tantrums.
In some ways, probably too soft. Not very noticeable. Not that I'm complaining. That's how I prefer it. I have strong opinions, but I don't want to be the dominant voice in a group of people talking. I enjoy listening, and when someone gives me some time and attention, I can talk up a storm. I just don't need to be "all that" for every man in the room.
If you're serious about finding the Nice Girl, check out the quieter one who sits beside Miss Personality. Miss Personality burns big and fast and bright. Nice Girl smoulders... watch out for the sparks. *smile*
Remember the expression: "The candle that burns from both ends burns twice as fast."
Nice Girls endure. | |

Posted: 5/3/2005 4:24:59 PM | Don't worry Alias, there are a lot of NG's out there.... Just look carefully. And dance lots! *smile*
P.S. One bonus. You don't have to sacrifice "beautiful" for nice. If you really look carefully, you can probably find both in the same person. Just widen your perception of beauty and you'll see she may be someone you know already. | |

Posted: 5/3/2005 4:32:46 PM | Sharon, if someone tells you that you are too nice for them, trust them at their word. You probably are.
It's flattering to hear it, but frustrating because what you really want to respond to the guy is, "No... you're great too... really." Then he is flattered, but nothing is accomplished because he still doesn't want to be with you.
If a guy is interested, he will not give that line. And if he's not... well, why would anyone want to waste time with someone who doesn't appreciate them?
Realize that you are worth being with a great person. A guy who thinks you are awesome. Someone who isn't looking to validate his life with a woman, but is looking to complement it with a partner. If someone thinks you're "too good"? Then darn it, you are.
And go find someone who thinks you are "just right". Call it a Goldilocks moment, if you will. *grin* | |

Posted: 5/3/2005 6:30:14 PM | Hello SweetChristina:
You have got some VERY valid points, and KUDOS to you, well said about ALL the Nice Girls out there. In the end, it is the Nice Girls, who are the REAL WINNERS of the Nice Guy's heart. Because, it IS, the Nice Girl who also has the good looks, a loving, caring personality, and a LOT of CHARACTOR, with a BIG, BIG HEART to offer.
They are the kind of girl, who likes us, for us.
They are the kind of girl, that will stick it out with us.
They are the kind of girl, who will be there in the end.
They are the kind of girl, who are the REAL TRUE WARRIORS.
I take my hat off, in Tribute, to ALL you Nice Girls, for your EFFORTS.
Yes, we Nice Guys, don't mind, and in fact, welcome being CHARMED, and WOO WOOD, every once in awhile by ALL you Nice Girls. Let's TEAM UP, and go, and enjoy each others company. As the hit song by Fleetwood Mac goes, You Make Loving FUN, or better still, You Nice Girls, Make Loving You, SO MUCH MORE FUN, because, it is ALWAYS A PLEASURE to be around you.
OK guys, we have heard it from SweetChristina, the Nice Girls are out there, they ARE AVAILABLE, and they have fought hard through thick and thin to WIN our HEARTS, and now thier day has come. So, let's start to see these Nice Girls as our future partners, and Princesses, rather then Just As A Friend, by leaving the Bad Girls, far FAR, behind.
Thank you SweetChristina.
Sincerely
Neill Johnston | |

YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY with yourself? before you can share the happy with the nice gal that makes you happy...b/c she is content...THE TUNNEL OF LOVE has two shovels...not sexy but it works. | |
