Nice guys finish last...or do they?

~ON WITH THE SHOW~

I want to talk about that old adage ‘Nice guys finish last’. It basically goes hand in hand with ‘Treat ‘em mean, keep ‘em keen’. I only bring it up because recently I was told I am too nice to women. I found this absurd. But, it got me to thinking; a cliché saying is only a cliché saying because it bares some semblance of truth. Women of the world, is this true? I have posed the question on Facebook with responses like ‘Yeah, I don’t want a pretty boy’ or ‘Mean to some degree, not an abusive drunk or anything’. So, it would appear that women actually don’t want nice guys. Maybe I should harden up a little, throw in the occasional ‘Bitch you be trippin’ get back in the kitchen’. I’ve pondered and thought for countless hours over this and I have come to the honest conclusion that I will not be turning into Kanye West anytime soon. Already I hear scores of women cry ‘you’ll die a lonely old man’, this may be true, but you know what? I don’t want to be with a woman who is happy to be mistreated. I don’t want to have to ‘treat her mean to keep her keen’! I want her to be assertive, confident, happy in her own skin and above all else...proud. I want her to be proud of who she is. She’s out there somewhere.

Also, I want to touch on yesterday’s blog just briefly. An astute reader of the blog contacted me and asked, and I paraphrase here, ‘Celibacy? Really? Do you mean until you’re next girlfriend or marriage? Or do you mean...forever?’ to clear things up, I do plan on having sex again. A lot of sex. Over and over, copious amounts of unbridled and probably illegal sex in some parts of the United States, namely California. Great sex, awkward sex, funny sex, what-the-fuck sex, alone sex, partnered sex, three-way sex, foreign sex, domestic sex, mile high sex, mile low sex, standing, sitting, bent over, against a wall, on the ceiling, inside, outside, in the car, on the bonnet, in the woods, on the beach, up a tree, in the hay, her house, my house, the in-laws house...sex! Anything not in the aforementioned list I will not be taking part in...I’m not a pervert.

~INTERMISSION~

I’ve heard women constantly complain that chivalry is dead. Is it? Have the women of the world united, banded together and decided to kill off any and all remaining traces of chivalry just so they can complain it doesn’t exist? Who knows? I for one will not be changing who I am. I enjoy opening the car door, letting a woman go ahead of me in a queue, using my please and thank you’s and giving up my coat on a cold night (even if she is only wearing a mini skirt with a strapless and sleeveless top on a 3 degree night). I don’t believe it's dead. I believe women are cherry picking certain qualities they want in men. “Hmm, I’ll take ‘him paying for dinner’ he can keep ‘opening my car door’ I’ll take ‘letting me on the lifeboat first’ he can keep ‘running back into the flaming house to save the cat”’ if I am coming off as cynical, please let me know.

Comment below and tell me what your thoughts are. Do you want to be mistreated? Is chivalry dead? Men, am I alone here? Is there a healthy balance between mean and nice? You tell me...

Until next time,
