you know the saying that nice guys don't get the girl? i've been thinking for a while now that it works the other way too. nice girls often don't get the guy either.

let's analyze. many guys say they want a nice girl (well, the ones who don't want just a hot one). yet when a nice girl likes him, even a cute one, i have usually observed that nothing comes of this. guys tend to be either apathetic or just anti-commitment. nice girls will want to talk things through and respect the guy enough to believe what he says. if he says he's not ready for a commitment, but she's a really great girl, yaddayadda, she'll probably believe him. or if not, she'll pretend to because it's what he said.

not-so-nice girls, on the other hand, have less scruples. they can use others, use him, and make the object of their...affection be with them. guys need prodding; they're like big, stupid animals at times. a nudge, poke, or heavy shove may occasionally be necessary to push them out of their comfort zone or singleness. nice girls? we don't shove enough. we listen. we let you be yourself. we want you to come to us of your own accord because you want to be with us badly enough.

we're losers.

Wouldn’t it be nice?

If life were like math
the simple kind
One and a half is almost two
add another almost-two - be more

But almost plus almost
does not equal success
Twice the effort of nearing the top
will not push you over
if you fall in between

All or nothing
what a bitch.
