A General Education About Nice Guys and Nice People in General



What is a "nice guy"?


Well, from what I've seen on GaG, you all seem to be split into one of two groups. We have those who think we're too nice. We never disagree, we live to serve, and we allow ourselves to be trampled on. Wrong. These are doormats. Ok, another group thinks we're fakers who act nice, but turn out to be jerks. Wrong. Those are just jerks. Now let's start the lesson with some important notes.


How to tell a Nice Guy from a Doormat?


We WILL state our minds.


We won't go completely out of our way to be nice. (If you're mean to us, we won't be nice to you.)


How to tell a Nice Guy from a Jerk?


We'll be nice to everyone who deserves it, not just you.


We won't try to change you right off the bat.


We're much harder to anger.


We respect you, and it shows.


General Nice Guy Facts:


Now that those are out of the way, let's go over what makes a Nice Guy nice in general. I'll make more MyTakes describing the different kinds of Nice Guys, but here's some things we all usually have in common. First off, we don't usually like confrontation. It's annoying, and to be honest, boring. Unlike Doormats, though, we have no qualms about arguing. If you piss us off enough, or do something stupid, we'll tell you. A lot of people think this is us being jerks. Some might be. But it's more likely you just pushed us too far or gave us a reason.


Next, we are HUMAN. We WILL make mistakes. Now if you get pissed at us for being human... well... I don't need to say any more. We are unique, and not all of us are the same kind of guy. Nice Guy is not a personality. It's a lifestyle.


Third, we WILL give up if you ignore us or push us away. We hate drama. Our lack of drama is usually what makes us nice. So we pretty much avoid drama, even if it's from someone we like. This should go without saying, but as humans, we have LIMITS. We can only put up with so much. This goes along with hating confrontation, but we have rage buttons. It's like having real diamond armor. It may be strong and durable and can take a lot of damage, but if you hit it in the right place, it'll fall apart easier than paper.


So now you know the difference between a nice guy, a doormat, and a jerk. Doormats are the "do everything without question". Jerks can be nice, but they're pretty easy to spot (to those who complain about it, it's your own fault for being blind.) Nice guys are genuinely nice. Yes, we get pissed off. Yes, we like serving sometimes. But never to the extremes as the other two.
