My Ode to the Nice Girls

Happy Wednesday, All!

This past weekend my friend pulled out a book entitled, "Why Men Love B*thches." She had pulled it off her roomates shelf thinking it was going to be a comical romance novel. Nope, turns out it was exactly what the title said.

We read a couple pages and the ideas became challenging for me.

Why do women have to be considered b*tches to get the guy?

I am a self-proclaimed nice girl. I always have been. It's been a blessing and a curse. I love that I don't have a mean bone in my body, but I also have been walked all over because of it.

However, I believe nice girls get a bad rap (which is ronic, don't ya think?)

We are called pushovers. We are told we aren't acting like strong women. We are told we don't have a backbone. We are made fun of for NOT making fun of others.

You know what I say?

Nice girls are awesome and we do have backbones- tough ones. We are strong women. I have learned to get my point accross without being mean. It's taken me time to find that voice, but I finally have it. And I've learned I don't have to sacrifice being nice to express my point.

And I didn't have to stop being a nice girl to get the guy.

So, this is my ode to the nice girls:


Keep being nice-you'll find a guy that loves you for it.
Keep using your backbone without being mean.
Keep loving yourself for who you are.
And all the people who say you have to be a b*tch?
Smile and wave at them like the nice girl you are.
You rock on, Nice Girl.

  5. There was one time in my life where my nice girl side faded. When I was with a terrible ex boyfriend. He was a jerk and very aggressive in every part of his life. I was young and in love and didnt really think. But The nice girl is back and I'm beyond proud of it!!

  11. It took me a long time to find that voice you describe so well. I think nice men have it equally, if not harder than nice girls. Always pick the nice guy/girl is my advice to people I meet searching for their perfect partner. There are plenty of bad boys out there, leave them for the B*tches :) What a great post, I found you through your guest post on Another Clean Slate - quality begets quality :)

  12. I love this post, and I think I love you (but not in a creepy blogstalker sort of way, obvi :) )! You have described me to a T! My friends will always say, "You always speak your mind, but you have such a gracious way of doing it that nobody is ever offended even if they disagree." I think that's such a nice compliment. So go, us! I'll be following; welcome to blogland!!
