yeah so
Instead of making you all wait for James' thoughts on the "nice guy theory" written so eloquently at http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~jenf/writing/rant04.html, i'll let you know MY feelings on it. Right now. Plus, my feelings are infinately more important than James' will ever be.
After reading this post, and falling victim to this same ideas myself, I've found that every guy thinks that he is... well, that guy. You know. The one who does all the right things... who doesn't take advantage of a drunk girl, etc. The truth to that is, most guys aren't like at all. Truth of this can be seen in our private conversations, sans females. In fact, not one guy that i have talked to has ever not been deprecating towards the oppsite sex in conversation. Except Dan Morrow, who rarely talks about girls period. Three cheers for Dan.
Now, that being said, most of the chats we have are humorous. However, that idealistic "good guy" would never say half of what we talk about. Seriously. I don't want to repeat it. Yes. What we say is hilarious. I've probably shed a few tears of laughter over it.
Anyhow, I'm not really sure any of that really made any sense after thinking about it. I guess i'm just kinda... TO'ed at all the guys that seem to think that 'rant' was written specifically for them. It wasn't. With that in mind, I'm not exactly trying to say that i'm the most awful guy in the entire world. Sometimes, in rare moments of kindness, i'll do something nice for the opposite sex. Please, though, bare in mind that those moments are rare.
Now i'm going to go watch Family Guy. The one where* Peter beats Lois.
