Why I'd Rather Marry the Boy Next Door

I've dated all kinds of guys, from bleach-blonde surfers to the captain of the tennis team, from wealthy private school boys to underprivileged inner city boys who have to work hard for what they want. And through my trials and tribulations, I've learned many, many things. Most important, I know what I want in a guy, and that if I'm not happy with someone, I'm not even going to bother working it out with him, because out there is someone else who can definitely make me happy.

Every girl wants the hot, pretty boy with the killer body and the gorgeous smile. I don't. Those other girls can have him. I'll pass him onto whoever wants him. You know why? The majority of really good looking guys have this cocky air to them, and they know that they can get practically any girl they want. And they do. I've known these guys that have beautiful girlfriends, I mean the girlfriends that most guys will kill to go out with. And still, these "alpha males" feel the need to cheat on their girlfriends with a random array of less worthy women. Just because they can. i find this type of behavior to be vile and despicable, and I won't stand by it.

Everyone seems to forget about the nice, cute boy who sits next to them in math class, or who lives down the street from them. These are the guys society has forgotten about, simply because they're seen as boring and conventional. Maybe they're not supermodel status, they still have so much to offer in the mental and personality department. A lot of these guys are extremely talented, whether it be in a certain subject or an instrument or sport. These are always the ones that go the farthest in life, earning success and wealth, but still mainiting their ackward geekiness, which in a way makes them rather sexy.

These are the guys who are so nice and let themselves get walked on. They would do anything for the right girl, they just want someone they can love who will love them back. A guy from this category would never cheat on his girlfriend, because his girlfriend is the goddess of his universe. He treasures everything about her, and never treats her poorly. He respects her, cares for her, and never takes advantage. Many girls view these guys as "good friends" and nothing more. I think it's because there's no challenge-many girls like guys who don't act too into them because it feels like a competition, so the victory is sweeter. I don't agree, why play games in my opinion? If a guy likes me, then so be it!

The ideal guy in my mind would be the actor Justin Long. He played the leading role in the movie Accepted, and also had starring roles in Waiting, Dodgeball, and can also be recognized as the spokesman for Apple computers. I know he's not a model, but he has this certain charm that makes him practically irresistible. He has a good personality, isn't cocky but nonetheless holds an air of confidence, seems fun and outgoing, intelligent, modest and sweet. He would be the perfect boyfriend, in my opinion. He would also be a great guy to marry.

All the girls can have those good looking, arrogant, stuck up guys. That will mean less competition for me when it comes to the nice guys. And I'm sure one of them will appreciate a nice girl like me, and I can look forward to a wonderful relationship sometime in the future.
