Heh.
Seen the Zits comic where Hector is horrified when he's labelled a "good boy"?
Hector: (horrified look) But I don't want to be a "good boy"! "Good boys" are not cool!
Hilarious, yes, but brings up something to ponder on. Concerning image, that is. More specifically, the question is, are "good boys"/"nice guys" ever cool?
As I'm constantly being labelled a "nice guy", I guess this particularly concerns me. Not that I want to be cool or anything, I've accepted that I'll probably forever remain only on the edge of coolness, and I'm fine with that. Still, I don't want to be unattractive or unappealing, nor do I want to be unapproachable or uncool.
So I'm wondering, does my "nice guy" label automatically qualify me for any of the above?
Hmm.
I guess is a matter of opinion again. Some people like nice guys, others don't.
Still, in romance novels, or any novel for that matter, nice guys never get the girl (or at least they hardly ever do).
In fact, "nice" guys are the ones who (usually) get DUMPED by the heroines for more "exciting", "mysterious", "wicked" and "passionate" guys.
Dang.
What's a "nice" guy supposed to do?
p.s. The label "nice" is not my own. I'm no better than the next guy (but no worse, either =P). So why am I a "nice" guy?? Aargh!

Hey, being a nice guy doesn't make you uncool or unattractive and it definitely doesn't mean that you won't "get the girl".. Ok, girls are attracted to "bad boys" but in the end, they'll still end up with "good boys" coz they're more dependable. Need I say more? ;p
you actually care about this?
i get the feeling that being labelled "nice" isn't the real issue here.
i think it's the "get the girl" part that's the crux of our little predicament here.
i repeat: you actually care about this?
you'll meet her someday, and she'll tell what a nice guy you are.
WUAHAHAHahaha!
Jia wern, jia wern. XD XD XD So funny.
Nevermind, I appreciate you and I'm a girl. Isn't that good enough?
Oh wait, I forgot. I don't think like most girls. XD Too bad.
Anyway, not all or even MOST girls are attracted to bad boys. I have an aversion to them, for instance. Ah Bengs just aren't my type. Lol. My point is, there's just no accounting for taste. It's a pity you read too many novels and watch too many cliche movies.
Btw, you mightn't even suit the kind of girl who would go for bad boys. Something to think about, no?
Elaine: No, no need to say more. i understand. But I hope most girls share your sentiments. =P
J@ve: Bro, you always see right through me. No, I don't really care, actually. It just crossed my mind. And you're right about the "get the girls" part too. *wink* Guys will be guys.
May: I wish there were more people like you. Good points, as always. And yes, you're good enough for me. =P
Well, I suppose much depends on which part of the world you are in. Kuching may be what May be describing (pun!!!) but even in West Malaysia, the concept of BGR is so 'budaya kuning-ized' already. Just imagine what it'll be like in the US.
Jia Wern's gonna come back with a wife! Lol.
Hey, what David said makes a lot of sense. Environment does affect one a lot.
