This is something a friend sent me after we had this whole conversation about someone I described as a "nice" guy. She had this wry smile on her face and told me she will send me this write up. She kept her promise and here it is. I think it is a very well written piece and though humorous,drives home the point quite well..:)

(I am not sure if I can reproduce it here because its from a journal)
There are female equivalents of nice guys too. The type who constantly get described as "oh she is a guy" or "you should have been born a guy!!" and though at different levels, these nice girls go through about the same as the nice guys! What say?
:)) hilarious
ReplyDeleteFabulous.
ReplyDeletelol!!! nice write-up... just a few days back i had a similar kinda thing in my blog, but that was about girls... i got a lot of negative comments, now i know y... i should have used "NICE GIRLS" instead of girls :-s
ReplyDeleteToo late to regret :(... lol!!
I wish I could say "atlast somebody sits up and notices" but that would be too pretentious ;)
ReplyDeleteI refer to the nice gals as "oh, shes one among the guys". Thanks for bringing it to our notice.
nice :-).

ReplyDeleteHi Misha,

ReplyDeleteYou're utterly and totally mishtaken. The nice girls, while getting the labels you described, are infinitely luckier - the law of supply & demand. Nice guys rarely hook up, while there's a reasonable demand for the nice girls.
No prizes guessing who talks to oneself and sleeps every night :)
Sad but true
i never held with that trash of "you never know the worth of what you have until youve lost it"... this is certainly a kick in the pants to remind us of all the times that people did forget :)
ReplyDeletesorry.. forgot to add: im GLAD that you added that bit about the nice women before the stereotype of aww-poor-guy got built! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you really a daughter of a honest parents???
ReplyDeleteI have some confusion ...
Ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteTrue...really true!!
ReplyDeleteHats-off to the writer and those nice-guys too!!
