Nice Guys

Mona (the hot room mate) said something casually that really bothered me a few days ago. We were watching Superman and Lois was all annoyed by Clark and we started talking about how funny it was that she was in love with Superman but annoyed by Clark.

So I said something along the lines of “Poor Clark”

and she said “Clark is so annoying though”.

Me: “What? Clark is awesome. He’s the nicest guy in the world. He’d bend over backwards for Lois”

Her: “That’s annoying. He’s not a man. Nice guys are not men.”

BIGGEST.

TURN OFF.

EVER.

I am a god damn combat veteran. I have been through some pretty shitty situations. I didn’t hold open that god damn door for you so you can tell me I’m not a man. Next time I’ll slam it in your fucking face, if that’s what it takes. I was just trying to be nice. Not cut off my balls, apparently.

Nice guys choose to be nice guys. And believe me… we CAN stop anytime we want. In fact, most of us do quit being nice after being taken advantage of long enough. It is much more difficult, it takes so much more strength, to be NICE, than it ever does to be an ass. I could easily go through the day being an ass. That’s effortless. I could do that in my sleep. But it takes discipline, restraint, and compassion to be nice. Do not mistake kindness for a weakness.

You all have been warned.
