I was originally not going to write on this, but I kinda feel I should. I think maybe it might help some people out there in Blogland.

I'm a nice guy. I treat people with respect. I do things for people without expecting anything in return. I'm polite. When you look at my pics and see me in reality, I'm unassuming and generally smiling, easy-going and laid back. Most people look at me and think, "Lion is a good guy. Seems kind of naive and gullible, probably never been in a fight in his life, rarely argues. Nice guy." This is generally followed by the thought of "Push over. Wuss. No spine. Bet he'd fall over in a stiff wind. I can walk all over this guy." Most people think this about me. Employers prefer this kind of person. It engenders trust and friendly attitudes in others. I'm a likeable guy.

So I get a little chuckle from people who try to act on those thoughts. I just smile. I WANT them to think I'm a pushover. It makes kicking their ass later that much easier, both physically and verbally.

For those who don't know, I'm a soldier. While I'm not a professional fighter, I've been trained in both Brazillian Jujitsu and in a specialized fighting form taught to Mobile Forces in the Air Force designed to stun, cripple, break free, and if necessary draw a weapon and kill while the opponent is incapacitated. I've been on battlefields, and while I haven't actually killed someone in combat, I've had weapons pointed at me in anger and with the intention of killing me. I've been in many street fights, generally started by people who thought I was an easy target... I've never lost, and as you can see, I still possess all my teeth and no major scars. I have fought for my life unarmed against an armed burglar in defense of my . I am more than capable of tossing around people twice my weight and dropping them without breaking a sweat. Actually, the only people I'd be in trouble fighting hand to hand are professional fighters... they'd most likely drop me as easily as I'd drop others. I'm one of those "in-between" fighters.

So it was with a surprised blink and a little laugh when I went on a first date with a woman a few months ago, and she got up in the middle of the date and walked off, saying "You're too nice for me... I need a real man, not a wuss." I rolled my eyes and let her go. Frankly, that kind of woman isn't looking for a "real man"... she's looking for a dominant asshole to order her life around. God forbid a nice guy treat her like an equal.

But it also kind of pissed me off. It's one thing to be a nice guy and be under-estimated... after all, I'm a bookworm and I want to have a career as an English Literature teacher, so it's not like I'm a biker with tattoos of skulls and wearing leather and spikes (although I've been thinking about getting a lion tattoo lately...) and slap women around calling them "my bitches". But to arbitrarily label me as less than a man simply because I'm a nice guy? Because I choose to treat people with respect rather than demean them and stomp on them in order to build up a pathetic self-esteem? I have to act like some macho shithead to be called a man? Really?

This is mainly to the ladies, but also to the men... NEVER assume that Nice Equals Weak. Granted, there are nice people out there for whom their meekness and civility is covering a fear of confrontation, but you're a fool if you assume everyone out there who is nice is a pushover. I've left a lot of assholes in my wake who made that assumption and discovered their error too late. And just because some guy is flexing his pecs and talking loudly about how awesome and tough he is, that doesn't make him worth more than the air he's wasting. In fact, those guys are usually the ones covering up their fear behind a facade of swagger. Same goes for women... the loud, brash, ready-to-pick-a-fight-with-anyone girls with a chip on their shoulder are actually more afraid than you are. They're all bluster and blow, a yapping little barking at a bear. They want you to think fighting them isn't worth the fight, that you'll come away worse than they will.

Most of the time, it's all bluff. Anyone who knows even the basics of fighting will destroy them.

But I guess my question is this: are women really THAT put off by a nice guy that they're willing to throw him over simply because he's not Bruno Beefcake? I've encountered this problem many times in the past, where women complain at the top of their lungs that they want to meet a decent guy who treats them like an equal and respects them for who they are... and then throw me over for some prick with money or is better looking, and treats them like shit. They say one thing, but are willingly dating/engaged to/married to the other.

Frankly, if that's the kind of woman they are, who needs 'em? But what's the deal? We're in a society where intelligence and mutual respect and dignity is supposed to be what every woman supposedly swoons for, and Cro-Magnon Man still gets the girl. What gives? I'm a reasonably attractive guy, intelligent, thoughtful, respectful, larger than average dick... why am I getting thrown over for the jerks just because they have muscles and money and act like macho shitheels? Repeatedly? Got news for ya, ladies... the vast majority of those guys with huge muscles and fancy cars have really small dicks. Not kidding. Do your psychology homework.

I could use some insight here. I'm not planning to stop being a nice guy, and I'll be damned if I'm going to perpetuate the image that "Asshole Equals Awesome, As Long As He Looks Good". What are your thoughts? Are you attractive to "Pretty But Jerk"? Would you go out with a guy like me?

Yes, that last question is a not-so-subtle hint...

I DARE you to read my blog and attempt to be unchanged by sheer, utter AWESOMENESS!!! It's like Kung-Fu Panda fighting Super Models with heavy metal music pumping in the background... hyped up on Rockstar energy drinks!

And... whipped cream with chocolate sprinkles! And... laser-guided sex toys are probably involved! And... and... oh, I know... I'm pretty sure Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked it at some point!

That SHOULD have pissed you off. How unbelievably rude she was!

I know a nice guy who told me that all women want assholes and how he felt I had no respect for him because he was too nice. I was completely shocked by that statement. I had (and have) nothing BUT respect for him. But it made me very very sad that this was the conclusion he had drawn by the actions of women over the years.

I'm glad you aren't planning to change. Plenty of women appreciate a guy like you.

2022... it HAS be better, right?!

It's a sad fact of a nice guy's life, Buxom. We deal with it constantly. I can't tell you how many times I've been thrown over for a better looking guy who had the personality of a rock. It's a conclusion many, many nice, single guys reach. It's one of the reasons I've gotten tired of the dating game and started searching for FWB's... at least they accept me as is.

1. Nice guys finish last BECAUSE they last. I ALWAYS have said this.
2. Just because someone is a Dominant does NOT mean that he is an asshole. There is a difference between a Dominant and a domineering asshole.
3. If someone mistakes kindness for weakness why would you want or need them in your life -- or waste any energy explaining yourself to them? Those who know you know you well ... Those who don't can go to Hell.
4. Those who want to get to know you will know numbers 1 and 2 and will want to be a part of number 3.

This is my blog - [blog _Safira]. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
