College Checkered: A Letter to Nice Men and Boys

I’m writing to apologize on behalf of all the females that have been asses to you.  There seems to be a lot of male bashing, and the whole, “guys suck and you’re beautiful” type of theme. But you know what, we’re asses too. Females are just as capable of stepping on your soul and ripping out your heart. So I just wanted to say, women also suck and you’re beautiful. Yep, men can be beautiful.
Now, I don’t have to state that some members of your pack can be some real douchers. I’m sure you know this by now. Mainly because we remind you all the time that we have met these douchers, and most of the time we meet them before you. It’s not your fault, bad luck of the draw. And if a woman can’t appreciate you, then you need to find somebody who will. Someone who is ready and open to have you and all of your awesomeness. Because like I said, women are also capable of being asses. It’s not a rare thing at all.
We’re all not like that though. We all want the same thing, to find someone that is worthwhile. So I appreciate you still continuing the dating life, regardless of the mean women you’ve come across. The ones that used you as a buffer to get to your best friend, the ones that never called back, the ones that used you for an emotional booty call, the ones that used you for a rebound, or the ones that said you were just too nice for them. Screw them. I can tell you this; I’d date you. No one is ever too nice for me, and I’m sure there are plenty of women who’d say the same thing.
Now I know many females are probably reading this saying to themselves, “well guys always say that to me too.” This isn’t about you, this about guys who get the short end of the stick as well. We’re not the only ones who deal with douchers in men, because ladies, we have some douchers on our team as well. This isn’t about that, this isn’t a “who has been more of a jerk to the other gender” debate. This is just one woman, saying to her male audience that has come across some mean females, I’m sorry. We’re all not like that, and you’re an awesome person. And if you ever want to grab a coffee sometime to hang out, let me know. We can swap war stories and have a fun time. I know you’re a nice guy, and you know what, I like nice guys.
Your Friend,
