Man I've been having to deal with Nice Guys at work a lot lately.
The girl I'm seeing now and I met at work, and there's really not a deep bench there in terms of ladies, and she's easily the best looking one so she gets a lot of attention, especially from these scrawny little weenie "artsy" types because she's got sort of an "alternative" look going on. They do things like buy her cute little cactus things, bring her tea unsolicited, try to chat about all their "unique" artsy tastes. Thing is they really don't care for me because as a crass, boorish American (I know I've mentioned I live in Prague) who watches sports and exercises (and can see right through the sort of people they are because they're complete stereotypes), I'm "not good enough for her" and she "can do so much better!" So you know, the typical sneaky Nice Guy shit where they run their mouths to the girl about how "You never say anything good about him," where she has to respond that "I don't tell you anything about him because it's not your business."
So the latest thing is with some little French dork who's complaining that her being with me is the "basic, boring, predictable" thing to do and it's "disappointing." They were talking about cider, because she likes it, and he starts talking about how she should try this other exotic cider, because "Why would you settle for something basic when there's something so much better right next to it? Seems like a waste to me," which is a way of talking about cider that no one in the history of talking about cider has ever talked about cider, so it's obvious what he actually means.
It's really annoying because off the top of my head, there's at least five of these guys all trying to pull the same shit. None of them know me at all because we don't really talk and they're obviously not the sort of people I'd care to hang out with, but they all feel qualified to judge me and try to horn in on my girl because I know how to read AND lift a weight every now and then.
tl;dr, I'm banging the office hot chick and nerds are peanut butter and jealous
