Prince Charming

If you could describe the perfect man, what would he be like. Aside from his dashing good looks and wonderful physique (all hail Boris Kudjoe, and with a name like that he needed it), what would his personality be. I’m sure that most women would say they’d want someone open, honest, caring loving, supportive all the typical characteristics of a modern day Prince Charming. Now I’m sure ladies more than once we thought we’d met our Prince Charming and the only thing that turned out be so charming was how he CHARMED the pants off of us(Literally)!!! Generally the stereotype leads us to believe that “Prince Charming” is a nice guy. My reason for asking this question is, is it true or why is that in certain situations the “Nice Guy” thinks he always finishes last. We’ve all seen it before. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl breaks boy’s heart. Boy stalks girl, hunts her down, kills her. No seriously, I’m just playing, ignore the last sentence. And for all you brothas on parole for completing or attempting the second sentence, SHAME ON YOU.

I hear some guys sound or feel discouraged because they say that women don’t or won’t talk to them because they are too nice. They see themselves as being left out in the middle of the blizzard, while the “bad boy” uses his object of affection as his own personal pair of earmuffs[who caught that one?, waive your hands if you did]. However, let me start off by saying, there is nothing wrong with being a nice guy. Being courteous and doing little things to show you care will always be welcomed by a true lady. The problem that some women might have with the nice guy is not that she’s not into the so-called “Nice Guy,” it’s just that you might not be the “Nice Guy” for her or maybe you've reached her at a time where she doesn't want any guy. I guess that’s where the whole “bad boy” thing comes from. I’m a “Nice Guy” and you don’t like me, so obviously you don’t like nice guys. Now, I can say that as for myself I don’t want a “bad boy”, but I also don’t want a wimp or a man who seems to be willing to do whatever it is my little heart desires. And as much as I wanted to be Alladin, I need a man, not a genie in a bottle. Yes I want a man who is open willing to communicate and sensitive. But I also want one who will scare the living daylights out of me with just the cut of his manly eyes.
The problem is that nice guys figure that since they are nice guys, and you don’t like them, then you must not like nice guys. Upon hearing this, I realized there are two flaws with this theory.

1. Why must I like you in the first place?
2. There is a difference between doing nice things because you want to and doing nice things to get you somewhere with a lady [SIDEBAR: there is also a certain tactfulness that is needed to complete this task, without being flat out ANNOYING]

Let’s examine the first flaw in your little theory. Answer this question for me "Nice Guy", why must you assume that since I don’t like you, I don’t like nice guys. Since I don’t like you, I obviously want a man who is going to stomp all over my heart, use and abuse me and toss me out like yesterdays trash. Why is it that you just might not be the nice guy for me. And before you get all, “whatever, you like thugs,” please don’t go there. See the problem with you “Nice Guy” is that you wear your heart on your sleeve. Be like the rest of your species and replace it with your ……. [On second thought, don’t do that but can you at least put it where it’s supposed to go]. Don’t get bitter because the now, “Not So Nice Girl” didn’t want to date you. And maybe the effort that you put forth might show “Nice Girl” that hey, boys can be pretty surprising and do some pretty thoughtful and caring things for a girl he’s interested in. So even though you might not have won the battle, you’ve left an impression that might help her pick a better guy for her in the future.
Secondly, weaseling your way into a girl’s heart by doing “nice things”, does not classify you as a nice guy. The “Hey, I’ll cook for you,” only hoping that your impersonation of Emeril will have her screaming “BAM” in the bedroom [yeah uh not so nice]. The true “Nice Guy” does things because he genuinely likes a person and wants do something for her just because he does. And in the end of things, you are also not permitted to become angry or bitter because things did not work out the way you planned. That is not cool. – I will not take this time to send out a disclaimer to females so that we don’t utterly break poor “Nice Guy’s” heart. If for some reason, you do not share the same feeling for “Nice Guy” as he does for you, please inform him of this information. Therefore, if he continues to do nice things for you, it’s on him and you don’t look like the blood-sucking leach that led him on-end.
Now for the “Overly Nice Guy” that becomes the “Wait, is he lightweight stalking me guy”, PLEASE STOP. We do not like surprises. No showing up in town unannounced(my bad girl for not warning you, ha!), or do not plan dates or things YOU want to do not knowing if we even want to go there WITH YOU. Basically don’t make yourself out to look like a fool and don’t make me want to “Eak, Eak, Stab!!!!!!”
So Mr.“Nice Guy” are you satisfied? You probably aren’t. Probably still bitter at some girl who didn’t want your flowers, your trip to the zoo, or sadly the sappy poem you wrote for her entitled “I see heaven in your eyes.” Mr.“Nice Guy” I’m sorry, but instead of getting angry or the worst ever, turning into a vengeful slut, wish the girl luck and hope that in the end she finds someone that she enjoys that will treat her with all the kindness and love that you wanted to.
AAAAAW HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.
