"nice" guys

i was just reading this post on craigslist. it's a great little piece about how if women would just open up their eyes and see the nice guys around them and appreciate them, there would be more nice guys in the world. essentially.

however, after reading, i have this to say:
some of us have a different problem. our affliction is being attracted to the good guy in the first place and being treated, in return, with only sisterly affection.

this is not to say, of course, that all male-female friendships have to blossom into something more than friendship. that in itself is a ridiculous idea, and some people are much better suited to be friends than lovers. i think people can in fact be quite good at emotional closeness without it leading to physical intimacy. however, sometimes it's not the girl who is being the idiot. sometimes the guy doesn't realize what a catch he's got in his life and lets her go on being the good friend when the two could be so well-suited for one another.

i would like to be so bold as to suggest that not all women are intrinsically attracted to the so-called "bad boy," but may, actually, value a good man.

so what gives, good guys? why are you wasting your time on women who don't appreciate your goodness? it seems that perhaps you are the perpetrators here. you are wasting precious time trying to win obviously brainless women who prefer to have their hearts broken than see past someone's outward flaws when there are genuine and beautiful women under your noses waiting to be swept off their feet.

any thoughts?
