Not So Nice Way of Thinking

Fully understanding the Double-X chromosome is a feat that has yet to be accomplished by any man throughout the course of human history. I know, the whole "figuring out women" thing is overdone, but I have to throw my 2 cents in on one aspect of it. Last night I was called out by a couple of friends, one male, one female, on my approach to courtship. They said I was "too nice." Whatever the concept lacks in originality it completely makes up for in utter ridiculousness. I'm going to attack this issue on a few levels...

First off, the notion of having too much of a good thing is idiotic. It's pretty fucked up in a society that promotes gluttony that positive attributes are the ones that have quotas. Even beyond that, think about applying this principle to other areas of life. While it's a bad thing that I'm "too nice", it sure wouldn't be bad if I were "too handsome" or "too smart" or "too good at making a delicious dinner." This way of thinking has developed over the years and is now a staple of the average human brain in 2008, despite how nonsensical it is. People have lost normal ways of discovering adventure in daily life, and have to draw excitement from their inherently flawed relationships. If every guy out there fit the "too nice" mold there would be no rape, no physical abuse, and the divorce rate would actually look somewhat respectable.

Secondly, if I had a dime for every time I heard a girl talk about how she just wants a Prince Charming to come sweep her off her feet, I could probably fill up the tank in my Toyota, which is saying something given the times we're living in. The ones who constantly are vocal about not finding a decent guy are the ones who consistently settle for the larger-than-life-ego-dopes that give the male population a bad name. Females, at least the ones I seem to encounter on a daily basis, seem to run on dysfunction. There's got to be something to fight about or the relationship turns bland. Can't we just go back to the days where romance is all the spark you need to be a great couple? There are people out there who don't lose the butterflies around their partner, though they are few and far between.

I'm speaking up for the male population that supports the theory that chivalry is not dead, though it may be on life support. As much as I appreciate my friends advice, it would be absurd for me to go against my character and actually attempt to be an ass so I could appeal to a broader range of females. I'll do my thing and attract the winners. Besides, I don't want a chick who's dependent on drama for her daily dose of adventure. Get your drama from Grey's Anatomy, and let's share a few laughs over a cup of coffee and enjoy each other's company. We won't be the fighting couple that makes everyone around them feel incredibly awkward. We'll leave that role to someone else. These words apply to the females who don't think that sweet is boring. To those women out there who don't want their Prince Charming to be a deadbeat with a temper and baggage, I salute you. You are a dying breed, the last of the remotely comprehensible double-X chromosomes.
