Hold my earnings... PLEASE

I'm with Snooki on this one. How hard is it to find a nice guy?

After getting rid of one loser in my life, I feel like all there is available are the following: Men who will exploit and use women, and men who subtract from your life. Where did all the nice guys go? Someone please explain this to me, because I can't seem to figure it out. What ever happened to holding the door open for a woman? Are manners extinct? I always knew that nice guys were on the endangered species list, but now I feel like they are extinct.

Take yesterday for example. I'm coming back from running some errands, and I notice the (then gentleman) loser behind me picking up his dry cleaning. He has his hand(yes, single hand) full and is on his Iphone. He is heading for my door. I too have both of my hands full, but being the nice person I am, I hold the door so he doesn't have to bother to find his key card and swipe in directly behind me. SEE: BEING COURTEOUS.

As I am standing outside the door, you would think that he would thank me, and get the door pressing on my shoulder and relive me of holding it. NO. HE WALKS RIGHT THROUGH. AND......HE SAYS ON HIS PHONE "PEOPLE ARE SO NICE TO ME IN THE BUILDING, IT'S LIKE THEY THINK I'M A ROCKSTAR."
No A$$hole, I don't think you're a rock star. You're just a bald-late-thirty-something that shaves his head for his obvious said balding reasons. You're black muscle tee makes you look more like a bouncer than rockstar, and as I held the door, I don't recall asking for your autograph? Point taken, he walks right on through, not even bothering to help me? OR GOD FORBID, LET A WOMAN GO FIRST. NO MA'AM. That would be squashing my ability to express my femininity, as my ex would say, as he told the night he handed me my own bill to pay for my $6.00 pizza on a dinner date he asked me out on.

I don't seem to recall a woman ever taking a stance and protesting that women don't want chivalry anymore. Why would we want a ghastly idea like that? I know that Rosie the Riveter coined the phrase "WE CAN DO IT" but I don't recall her plastering herself on posters saying that applied to dating too? Yes, oh yes, Women have fought to be treated as equals in the workplace, getting paid the same salary as a man, when we all know that a women at the end of the day can do a better job, and will be able to multi-task while doing that job too. Point is, no one ever took a stand saying, "If my boyfriend pays for my $6.00 pizza, I will feel less than equal". No, sorry, it actually proves that you have some respect for me, because any self-respecting gentleman wouldn't even think of letting a woman that he's dating, let alone his girlfriend even see the figures on the bill. Then again he would be a gentleman, and not a loser. One thing I've come to understand is this. Women do pull the "let's split the bill" line, not because we feel it's our given right to exercise our femininity. We use it because we don't want to feel like we're indebted to a loser like you who we know is no good, all because said loser, now expects something from us because he picked up a 20 dollar tab. Every woman that I know would be more than delighted to never lay eyes on a bill again. We only do so, because we realize that pickings are indeed slim, Nice guys are extinct, and by paying ensures that we can go home and never have to answer a text message from such a loser ever again. It's a known rule, that a nice guy would never put a woman in a position where she felt that she had to do something because she "owed" a man. Only losers do that.

Rosie was only trying to prove one point: We can do it. We can do the same work men do, we can be just a strong as men. We can hold their jobs, we can make more money then they do, and we can lead, happy, strong, successful lives without them. She also proves, that I too, can pick up my 6 dollar pizza bill, and I can hope and wish that maybe-- someday, I'll find a nice guy. After all...Isn't that what zoo's are for?
