"I just want to be friends." "I'm not ready to date." "You're a nice guy and someday you're going to make some girl feel very special." "It's not you, it's me." You've heard all of our lines, haven't you? Yet, you keep throwing yourself at us like you're a piece of meat; hoping that someone actually will catch you and realize your worth. You're tired of being that "Nice" guy. The guy that gets left in the friendzone. The guy that we turn to when another douchebag comes along and hurts our feelings again. And again. And again. Well... Luckily I'm here to help you take the saying "Nice guys finish last" and put it in your past (catchy, eh?).
First, let me define the positives of the "Nice Guy": A nice guy goes out of his way for others. He is sweet, kind and very genuine. He gives emotional support. He is not controlling. He avoids confrontation, fights and arguments. He does favors for others. He opens doors, pulls out chairs and lends his jacket when you're cold. Nice guys are typically sensitive, emotional and committed.
I'm sure many woman are reading this thinking "Ha! Where is HE at?!"..... He's in the friendzone...  where you left him... when you went chasing after whatshisname who turned out to be a prick. Now, I'm not saying you're wrong for leaving him there. There are downfalls to the "Nice Guy". For example: He is BORING.
Nice guys tend to be too clingy and desperate. They lack the ability to take control over any situation. They typically are followers; overerly possessive. Often, they are weak and have low self esteem. They blow up our phone with text message after text message. They smother us to the point where we feel we can't breathe or even think.
Now that I have your attention. Are you tired of being the go-to guy when she's had a bad date? The shoulder to cry on? The guy that feels like he wants her to need him? Tired of waiting around for her to come around? Here's my suggestion: Take control of your own life.
No woman ever wants to have all of the power in a relationship. We want a manly man. We want a man that will debate with us if we are talking about something you dont agree with. We dont want a pushover. We want a man that isnt afraid to grab the bull by the horns. We want a man who will take us to places we've never been. Isn't afraid to try different things. We should never feel like we have to take care of you. We want to feel protected, secure and stands up for what is his.  We dont want a man that feels like he Needs us, we just want a man to want us.
So there you have it. If you can create a balance of Nice guy and Manly Man then you will be the Perfect man. So what are your thoughts? Do you think nice guys finish last?
 
I seriously cannot believe that the day has come where technology has overridden my life. It seems like every ten minutes I have to check my phone for a text message, see my friends "tweet" or check Facebook to see if anyone has updated their status'. It's really pathetic.
I've never really been one who can sit for hours on end in front of a tv; however, stick a phone in my hand and I will be amused for days. It's not even like I'm making phone calls. I play games such as SongPop and Draw Something. I sit for hours on Twitter tweeting absolutely nothing important. Oh, let's not forget my newest addiction- Pinterest.
Now don't get me wrong, I love pinterest. Along with every other female out there. For those who dont know what Pinterest is: pinterest is a social site that allows its users to share pinboard-style photos with themes such as hobbies, foods, interests and do it yourself ideas.
If it wasn't for pinterest I wouldn't have made these adorable butterfly memorabilias. However, I would also get a lot more work done at work. I get so distracted by pinterest that my typical work day flow has dropped tremendously and it's all my own fault. I feel like I should go to a rehab center and say, "My name is Amy Adelman and I am addicted to Pinterest.". At least the first step would be out of the way, try to take my phone away however and I'll bite your arm off.
Soooo.... What's your thoughts?! Is it possible to be too addicted to technology? Or even pinning crafty projects or food ideas?
