Nice Guys Finish Last

We've often heard that cliche "Nice guys finish last." Well, it seems that my life is completely based on this saying.

Any of my friends will tell you that I am one of the nicest, most caring, honest ans friendliest person you will ever meet. Even if my old volunteer coordinator back at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario once described me as "the example of the gentle giant, because of his imposing frame", I would not hurt a fly. I don't like confrontation and can't stand people who mistreat others, or lie to them.

The last few people that I've dated had many things in common with me. Same likes and dislikes, and we had loads of fun together. Now I try to not take things too fast cause that's how people get hurt, and sometimes hurt bad. But no matter how hard I try, I always seem to get the eventual email saying that things would not work out between us. The message is always the same, too. "It's not you, it's me". To be honest with you, I don't buy that! To me, that's just something that people say when they don't want to be honest with the other person. Seems it's just a way to get out of being honest. And that hurts me more than anything, because I've always been honest with the people I dated, so why aren't you with me?

I've also received a few of the previous messages by email. Again, to me that's just a way for one person to get out of dealing with the person. It's just so much easier to write a message, hit send and then forget about it. Well, next time you are going to do that, please stop and think about how the other person will feel. It's always easier for the person sending the message, because if the other party decides to reply, you can just delete their reply without reading it, if you want to. Please have the decency to tell the person face to face or by phone. Or any way that you will be able to hear their reaction. It's only fair. Ending a relationship with someone is not an easy thing to do, no matter how short it was.

I was told many times not to give up on relationships. But I say to myself, why not? Seems all the people I meet aren't interested in "nice" guys like me. Case and point. Out there, there are men who cheat on their wives/girlfriends and who beat and abuse them. And when those pieces of shit are done with the one that they wronged (by cheating or abusing), they just move on, find someone else who will be with them and they start all over again. And while that's going on, I'm here alone on a Saturday night or on New Year's Eve, or Valentine's Day. What should I do, start drinking and become violent? Well, that'll never happen, because it's not in my nature to do that, and those men are the lowest form of human shit on the face of the Earth.

So I guess I'm going to be alone fro now. I think the time alone will do me some good. It's hard to maintain faith in relationships when they never work out for you, and all you do is be yourself.

What can I do differently?

Thought you were having a bad day?

I Hate Chain Letters

Hello, my name is Lewis and I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000?

How stupid are we?"

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!"

What a bunch! of bullshit. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by Peter in 5 AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower.

Fuck 'em.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity. The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on.

Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the ass of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.Have a nice day.

P.S. Send me 15 bucks
