Nice Guys!?

It’s something I’m sure everyone has heard at least once in their life. It’s become a redundant cliché that Hollywood has used and abused for countless bullshit teen movies. The idea that “nice guys finish last” has been recycled over and over again and yet people keep feeding into it. Everyone wants to root for the underdog. I’m here to tell you that the “nice guys” are pussies.

I’m not saying they have to go out and be all about the thug life but there’s no reason to sit at home waiting for the perfect girl to magically fall into his lap. “Nice guys” have this amazing habit of sitting around all day complaining about how the “perfect” girl always falls for the bad boys that treat them like shit and take them for granted. With them, it’s a constant stream of self-pity bullshit that makes you want to rip your own ears off and mail them to Guam. These guys sit around all day waiting for the girl to come around and finally realize that they are meant to be together, meanwhile they make absolutely no effort into letting the girl know how they feel because they’re “afraid of messing up an amazing friendship.” They’re so engulfed in the idea that they’re going to crash and burn once they confess their feelings that they don’t realize one simple fact; The longer you withhold your holdings, the longer you’ll remain in the friendzone and end up being the gay bestfriend that’s nothing more than a crying shoulder for the girl when the bad boy breaks her heart. You’re perpetuating your own stereotype. You’re the cause of all your damn problems with your self-consciousness.

It’s a sucker move. You want that amazing, Nicholas Sparks love but you’re not willing to risk your friendship? That’s a piss poor excuse. If she was truly that amazing and that “perfect” why would you let another second go by without giving it a chance. Just a chance.  One single chance. Why let another moment waste away with you only watching from the background and thinking of all the what if’s.  Those who are not willing to risk will never be rewarded.

Get up off your ass and go take a shot. If it doesn’t work out, it wasn’t worth it from the beginning and it’s better that you found out sooner rather than later.

Thank me later.
