Nice Is In

Lately, I realized ladies are beginning to go for guys that are nice. Bad boys are well boring maybe. Gasp! Geeks are so yesterday. Now nice is the in thing. I lost count of how many times I get this compliment that I am such a nice guy and they got this friend they would like to introduce me to. Last count, I’ve even gotten a volunteer scout all the way up in Bangkok whom I believe at this moment is checking on the family background of all the nice, hopefully hot single ladies who like nice guys. I did throw in a couple of extras suggestions to her which would be a bonus to have, young, rich and her dad’s name’s Thaksin. My Thai scout said she will try her best. Come to think of it maybe I should have also given the full name in case she’s thinking of a different Thaksin.

Previously all I ever gotten with you are a nice guy statement was a not so nice ending. I just want to be good friends with you only. Now it’s I like you, you are such a nice guy. Will you not treat me as just a friend? Which is hard to say no to since I am supposedly such a nice guy. Guys are supposed to be thrilled by all the love declarations. I get all stressed up cos nice guys don’t break girl’s hearts. I hate being a nice guy.

My best friend told me recently that I lead an exciting life. He’s married with three young kids. I guess anyone married with kids will look at the single guys and go man you got it all set. I am frigging close to the big 40 and I don’t even have a family. How does that translate into an exciting life? Perhaps the very thought that you can sleep through the night without having once to get out of bed to change a diaper of a screaming baby is exciting. My biggest concern is when I reach the stage of my life where I have to wake up at three in the morning to change a diaper, I would fall into a slumber while in the midst of doing that and slam my face into a pool of warm pee. If I am lucky it’s only pee.

So once again, I am back on the market checking out what’s available for nice guys like us. I know I mentioned slow cooker’s for keeps but its taking forever. Perhaps she wasn’t even plugged in from the very beginning which means an even longer cooking time. 40’s beckoning and I doubt I can afford to redo the whole cooking process again. Now how does a nice guy tell a girl that he’s moving on? Or just do it the bad boy way. Don’t bother to even bring the whole subject up. Yeah being a bad boy is a whole lot easier.
