Yeah whatever! I was just trying to be honest, but that wasn't good enough for you. It's too bad I can't delete my profile on here because I would've done that already. Let me guess! That's off topic, right?

It does contradict if you think that all women think the same.

You don't need to elaborate further on who you are attracted to. You said what attracted you whether or not it offended the equal opportunity people.

I read that post before it got deleted. You're not a nice or good guy. Stop decieving yourself.

Unfortunately, guys like you are simply justifying OP's and most of the women on this thread's opinion about most self-proclaimed nice guys. I still think they're all wrong though. Guys like you are just the loud minority.

Dangerous men can behave just as nicely as you can. They are like wolves in sheep clothing. Isn't that the lesson you were trying to teach all little girls?

Controlling men, bad boys, can behave just as nicely as you can. So what is the lesson here, really? It is about concealment.

I never said it was bad. Let's clear that up right now. Not once did I ever say women were supposed to get rid of their kids. What I said is that it's not MY job to raise the kids. I'm not the father, okay? Why is it my responsibility? I know children always come first. That's a no-brainer. That's why I won't date a single mom. I'm not going to get pushed on the back burner and go sit in the bullpen because Junior wants to monopolize all the attention. Call that selfish, but it is what it is. Like I said though, if it isn't MY child, why the hell should I have to arbitrarily come in and take on the dad's role because she made poor choices in the past?

I'm only dangerous when I'm pushed. I never went off on anyone who didn't have it coming. The guy whose clock I cleaned assaulted me with brass knuckles. However unkind you think I am, I'm fair. I've got nothing to hide, either. Bad boys aren't as slick as they think they are. At least not to me anyway. Maybe that's because my sister has a long track record of bringing home stray dogs. Whatever the reason, I'm not a walking time bomb. The most dangerous things I've ever done was being on the battlefield in Iraq and putting out fires because I'm an ex-firefighter.

Okay. I am trying to see where the problem is. You are a guy who can protect himself mentally from women who take advantage. You are a guy who can protect himself from other guys physically.

Are both a common occurrence?

Says you! I'm sorry my truth hurts you so much! I'm not a pushover if that's what you're wondering. I am a nice guy and a good guy, okay? Last year when I went to go fill my car up with gas, I heard some woman screaming bloody murder across the streeet. She dropped her baby and smacked its head on the sidewalk. I ran like hell over there to see what was up. I was the one who called 911 and tried to calm the woman down before she had a panic attack while several rubberneckers stood around with their thumbs up their butts not lifting a finger to help.

Three years ago, when I worked at a restaurant my senior year in college, I faced another similar situation. One of the cooks caught on fire as the flame from the grill backdrafted. I grabbed the spray nozzle from the sink while she was engulfed in flames and told one of my coworkers to call an ambulance. I did what I could to console her. It was all instinctive, yet nobody else lifted a finger to help, either. You see when it comes to those situations most, people flight but I don't. Just because I'm not a warm-and-fuzzy touchy/feely lubby dubby type of person, doesn't mean I'm not caring or compassionate. You must seem to think because I'm a nice guy I'm supposed to bake everyone brownies so we can all sit around a campfire, hold hands, and sing Kumbaya or something.

Sometimes! Let's just say from past experiences, I'm not the kind of person who trusts people right off the bat. I'm not paranoid, but I like to keep my guard up. I assume you saw me explain to that other person I'm a good man, but not the kind of nice guy she expects. The problem with "nice" is that it's an ambiguous term meaning it has more than one connotation. I always treat people with respect, but I hardly ever speak when I'm out in public. It's not that I'm antisocial; I'm just observant. Only when I feel more comfortable do I start to socialize more. That's my modus operandi.

I know who I am and what I'm made of. I know I'm a honest guy with a good heart, and I don't have to explain or justify anything to anybody.
