I liked it, the message was trong and it was deep. I enjoyed reading your essay. Alot of the girls can ignore the actually nice guys, but it also goes vice versa. I am not saying that you failed to point that out, because there are too many essays opn how guys are **. I enjoyed the new prespective. Nicely done.

hey, i just wanted to ask you something, don't you think that those nerdy guys notice quiet and insecure girls? they are also just looking at the girls with the great body and perfect boyfriend at their side.

People like you need to broadcaste yourselves more (no you personally though). The normal ideal has diminished from days gone by, and just as there are a feww guys who still adhere to it, so also are there girls. "Once upon a time"s and "Hapilly ever after"s have become next to nonexistent. For once I'd like to meet a real guy like you who is sweet and likes you for you and not trying to "get anything". This essay gives me hope, quite frankly, that chivalry is not dead. Not that it has to be totally traditional or anything, but it'd be nice to live in a fairy tale one day. You have a beautiful soul, from what I see from your writing. Keep up your writing, I can see great things in store for you. Also, tell your girlfrien that I think she's very lucky to have someone like you.

This is so sweet!

Sorry too add another somewhat negative review, but Chivalry is quite seriously dead (or at least should be in my opinion). I mean girls/women have fought for years for equal rights (at least in america) and to a degree have gotten them. Thus if they are the equals of men there's no reason why they should be glamorized. But I digress, you are way too romantic in your writing and your use of stereotypes probably defers from the main point of this piece, whatever that may be.

...Can i burn this? Who needs emotion? Only makes people weak. Especially a weakling bakayaro like you.
now DIE! SHI NE!

Good essay. Nice writing, good vocabulary. I'm to lazy to say anyting else, but, again, good job!

Yeah, damn straight we're not a bunch of **. ;-)

Y'know, you are right. 'Geeks' do, in fact, get overlooked... It's not nice, but neither is life...

Me? I'm a girl. I attend high-school. And nearly every rugby player sickens me. I honestly don't understand where the whole 'geeks are perverts' thing came from; a huge bunch of those 'people' on the rugby and football teams look for nothing but boobs. Not to mention their usual lack of intelligence.

However, don't glorify me [As if. :)]. As much as I'd love to say I don't care about looks one little bit and that I go right for the brains every time[Which is true to a certain, fairly high, degree], nothing turns me on more than a pale, stocky guy with heavy-rimmed glasses.

Too bad all girls can't be like me.

...Or not. ;) Good essay; I liked reading it.

I think you are sweet.

No, the only difference between the lovelorn geeks and the "normal" guys is that they know they can't ever get some. Trust me, I hang out with them, they're just as ready and willing to feel up the first pretty girl that comes up to them. Remember that they're teenage boys just like everyone else. Quieter and more socially awkward perhaps, but still adolescents in the throes of puberty.

On a brighter note, it's rather well-written, grammatically speaking. Maybe a little too idealistic though.

This was very good, but you have to remember that not all of those girls out there are confident. I know, I myself have /never/ approached a guy I liked. Lovely piece here, great use of words. Keep writing!

Quiet One

That is so incredibly sweet, but still somewhat of a fairy tale. Where I come from I know those boys who don't get noticed. I know the boys who never have dates. One has 4 full laptops of **. Another almost never speaks and is extreamly boring. My observation is that the only nice awsome guys are gay. I'm sorry I find your words hard to believe.

::snort:: Oh, sugar, I've had just as much experience with "geeks" (having been one myself for a while) as with "normal" guys, and I can vouch for the fact that they're just as desperate to get their hands up a girl's skirt as anyone else. Not that I'm holding that against anyone, I just think you're painting the whole group a little too romantically, and this whole essay sounds like a rather desperate plea for attention. I'm also not sure why you think it's only girls who get hurt in relationships -- is that perhaps the chauvinism that was often bread with chivalry? It might be well-intentioned, but it's still condescending.

Personally, I'd rather a reformable rake than a knight in shining armor -- give me tarnished and dented plate mail any day, it's more interesting, and it's proof of more battles fought.

That said, the essay's well written -- you've obviously got a good grasp on mechanics and vocabulary, unlike most of the cretins that wander around fpc.

ooh i like! The last paragraph kicks **! Go nerds. I'm kiddin..you aint a nerd, you my homeboy ;p No i'm not high, I'm not actually in favour of poisonous death sticks. *Mutters under breath* Anyway I feel like I'm just making up for not being able to talk to you right here right now *sobs* So i'll stop before I scare away all the ladies
*GR* My Angel. Mine. All mine.

I am a person who thinks totally opposite from most of the ladies I know. Nearly all of the guys at our school are perverted, and this is something I can't stand. I am looking for a guy like that, someone who will treat me like a person and not just an object. But I too have a fear of rejection, and can't go up to someone i may think feels dejected and unwanted, since I too feel the same way.

What my point is, is that you just need to tell the person you think you're in love with. I really cannot give you apathy if you never go up to a girl or at least try to talk to her.
I know that a lot of girls are shallow in more ways than one, but to assume that all of us are like that is a tad bit insulting.

You have good writing skills and for the fact that you probably take pride in your work and strive to do good in your classes is maybe a cause of why they don't want to talk to you. Let me say that they arent worth the time of the day if act like that.

Like I said, look for the right people.
Some women actually want a knight in shining armor who will treat them like a princess and practice courtship that existed long ago.
