My Interests



I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone that can bring me out of my shell and make me do more things. I need to try new things (that aren't illegal, no drugs or alchohol [haha Kris u've corrupted me.. i can no longer say no alcohol]), I want to experience things. I want to go some place exotic but not scary. hehe.. I want to meet someone that will make me smile just because they came into the room. I want to meet someone that wont care what I look like but will push me to want more for myself. I want to meet someone that is willing to put up with me even if I become very unwilling to be with them. I would like to meet someone that just likes me for me and isn't playing me or pulling my leg or be the butt of a joke that they think is very amusing but in the end all it does it hurt me and make me dig my hole even deeper! So let that person I meet be kind, generous, sweet, attractive (if need be), funny, outgoing, patient, nice, artistic (doesn't have to be but would be very nice) not just in drawing but anything more like CREATIVE.

OK i know this is in tribute to nice guys.. but this is the kind of guy i want..

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and complaining about what jerks guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girls every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldnt worry about it. This is also for that time she didnt have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing serious between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: oh, but were just friends!? And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways because youre nice like that.

The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative beaches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship." Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say. But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, insane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.

Repost this if you're a nice guy
Girls Repost if you're lookin for this/or appreciate these guys

i got that from one of my good friend's Kris, he's one of those nice guys and he found his girl, which i am happy for.. :D now all i gotta do is snag myself one of those infamous nice guys, where ever they might be, know this i'm looking for you.. hehe.. so come find me it'll be easier that way.. well for me that is..
