The Nice Jerk Guy

Post Reply New Topic

I am in agreement with Betterclassed that the woes about nice guys are getting tired, and we all know acting like a jerk won't fare you any better. The solution is a synthesis of the two: Behold the Nice Jerk Guy! The nice jerk guy isn't a nice guy because he kind of acts like a jerk, but he isn't a jerk either because he's aw just so nice! He is a conundrum, an enigma, and a gentleman. Incredibly, he can suck up to you and dote on you but at the same time say stupid and asinine things without even realizing it. You will find this cute. The nice jerk guy collects stamps and bottle caps; and you'll think it's the coolest thing ever, the way he talks about his passion. The nice jerk guy isn't a party animal; he stays at home on weekends reading selections from classical literature, watching CSPAN BookTV, and simultaneously getting intoxicated on booze and pot. The nice jerk guy will take his lady on a splendid, unforgettable date but realize at the end that he's forgotten his wallet. The nice jerk guy will unwittingly insult your parents and everything they believe in the moment he meets them but, on the drive back home, tell you how well he thinks of them. The nice jerk guy doesn't have a high-paying job, but what he has is potential to move up from his position as bagger at the local grocery store to assistant store manager of the local grocery store. The nice jerk guy has an air of mystery about him because his life is full of embarrassing moments and faux pas and little else. The nice jerk guy is rugged and athletic; he remembers the time when, in baseball, he got on first base by being accidentally beaned by the pitcher, true story. He makes all the ladies laugh when he walks by and trips over his untied shoe laces.

Anyone want to be a nice jerk guy?

^ Awesome, Plain awesome!

I am sort of like that... only modified quite a bit... more off to the nice side, but the ability to be a jerk remains...

Amusing... I'm voting for the nice-but-without-apology type myself. Trying to be nice for the sake of others is sad to me; it doesn't work. Being a nice person for one's own sake works well, unforced. Then it can be appreciated by others instead of seen as an act.


M.

theories ....theories ....theories ...the truth is simpler than that.

Being nice has gotten me no where now I've had enough with it am i just being a jerk instead mostly especially to women cuz i just dont care anymore

if i cant get the girls i want by being nice why be nice at all it takes more effort an no reward

In my experience the true jerks were usually guys that came off either charming or too good to be true. It just took me a while to really get to know what true jerks they really were. Not that I'm saying all charming guys are a**holes but in my few experiences that's been the case.

^I was about to bring up the same thing but apparently I seem to rant so much in these threads as is..

I find that I have many similarities to the description of the "nice jerk" guy. Some people may see me as a jerk, but I consider myself to be "honest", no surprises. I don't pretend to be nicer than I really am.
