the two men in a woman's life

i think no matter how many men you meet in your life they will either be divided into two categories: the mr nice guy and the mr bad guy.

Mr. Bad-guy is the guy you're attracted to but you know it wont get any further than that. he's that elusive guy who seems to have all the trappings life can offer. whenever he smiles you feel your insides turn jell-o and you feel all inhibitions fly out the window. he's the guy you drink beers with and go over the limit. he's the guy you smoke cigarettes with even if you cant smoke. just so you can endear yourself to him and make him think you're exponentially cooler than what you really are.

Mr. Nice-guy is the guy who will tuck you into bed after a wild party night with Mr. Bad-guy. He's the guy who turns jell-o when he looks at YOU. The kind of guy who will whisper sweet nothing in your ear and mean them. The kind of guy who will berate you for drinking too much and for smoking at all. the kind of guy who will wrap his arms around you and you know that it's a perfect fit. He's the kind of guy you push aside for Mr. Bad or take fore granted coz you know now matter what happens he'll still be in the sidelines.

I'm pretty sure you ladies out there know what kind of guys I'm talking about. perhaps you don't consciously know this but subconsciously you separate your guy friends into these categories. i don't know how i got snapped out of my naive-ness but perhaps it's because i came in contact with two of my top Mr. Bad Guys in a span of two days. and in those two days my top Mr Nice-guy has been so pushed into the sidelines it's a wonder he's still here.

there are two inevitable questions that come to mind: do we ever grow out of it? and who do we end up choosing?
