Beware of Nice Guys

Hey y'all.  So I was musing over things things, and I've realized that there's nothing so misleading as a nice guy.  They can be the cause of so much heartache and trouble, and most of the time they don't even realize it.  Notedly, this is a thing that every girl technically has to learn for herself, but there's an old saying that goes you should learn from other people's mistakes rather than your own.  So here's some advice that younger women should be aware of.  Probably older women know this already or have matured to the point where they behave as if they're aware. 

The advice is this: guard your heart around nice guys.  Imagine yourself, a young lady looking for love, and through one circumstance or another, you find yourself talking to a nice guy.  Not just any nice guy, but a sweet dude who not only is smart, but also is very good at listening and considering your opinions, making you feel smart and respected (Hint to men: this is how to be attractive). 

Naturally, you fall head over heels for this gentle intellectual.  Then, a bit later, as you are obsessively watching this man while trying make sure he doesn't notice, you catch him talking to another young lady.  And he's being just as nice to her, being entirely respectful and uninsulting.  You realize with horror that this man wasn't attracted to you at all, but simply is the sort of person that converses considerately.  He's a nice guy.  You might be suspicious that the other girl is attracting his attention, but overall you're aware it's just the guy's way of talking.  And you feel heartbroken.
