It’s hard to explain. You’d have to identify with some of those things to get it. Rueful, self-deprecatory, then amused smiles will then ensue.
Strangely enough, there are at least two people I know who said, “that’s me!” (and it was true, too) — I wonder how many guys truly believe that they’re nice guys.
Brainwashing starts at home (heard while watching a family drama):-
"Oh, you wouldn’t do that to me … you’re such a nice guy."
Somewhere in the lines of gentlemen don’t wage war on women or million other things which is called Chivalry (in other words, be what you not are). Forced to conform or be part of evolution’s overflow from the gene pool (ahe).
The obvious thing to do was to give the running of the world over to women. There was Thatcher in the Falklands and Indira Gandhi in Bangladesh, it was true; but still it would be worth trying, it could hardly get worse! And given the maternal instinct, it would probably be better. Give every first lady her husband’s job. Perhaps every woman her man’s job. Let the men care for the children, for five thousand years or fifty thousand, one for every year of murderous patriarchy.
Frankly, my dear, I don’t think it’d change a thing (and no, I can’t pull the Casablanca look, in my dreams, even – smiles).
My guess is MOST guys would classify themselves within.. simply coz you’d like to think so. Exceptions would include guys who have found the converted girl.:)
At least they recognize the fact. Not that they do too much about it.

The @Flipkart folks are nailing service right now. Wonder how long they'll be able to keep it up. :) 2012/05/16

What’s amusing about this? :)
Someone like this might help him.
And me! ;)

You’re not a nice guy are you? :D

Well, I made one believe it. I am sure there are others who can, too. :)
nice guys don’t finish last. they merely sleep at the office.
That would make me a nice guy. Yawn
Naah, nice guys work at office and don’t read LJ. :D
Good, god! Why would you do that to anyone?
Because he IS truly a nice guy. Bleh.
Poor chap.

No, but I certainly qualify for nerd status. ;)
chooth, stop patting me on the back
Yeah, that you do :p
I have to. I might be joining that Honour’s course all over again. Muahahaha.
Wasn’t this from somewhere near new years or something ?
Sort of makes sense – after you have a season of joy, something has to compensate.
Because nice guy is a euphemism for loser these days.

Yeah, so you see there are so many men suffering out there and women rule the world. Bleh.
Yeah and not-so-nice guys like you would think so!
I think it’s pretty obvious who is the loser. Sour grapes, eh?
Yeah great humour too!
/me points to 100% humour loss
Read that rant more closely and read the penultimate paragraph :)
And these grapes are delicious – forbidden fruit often is sweeter …
Hey, don’t take all this too seriously. This wasn’t intended to be a rant against women. Humans are humans, gender notwithstanding.
But your comment did trigger a memory from a story I particularly like:
Frankly, my dear, I don’t think it’d change a thing (and no, I can’t pull the Casablanca look, in my dreams, even – smiles).
I speak of my intention in posting this.
You’re in good spirits! :)
