The movie Captain America came out this past weekend, and I just had to see it! Captain America is definitely my dream guy. He's kind, honest, loyal, strong, sincere, and devastatingly handsome! What an amazing combination!
It's difficult to believe that guys like him actually exist in the world. In a way, they don't. He is, after all, a superhero! And those are fictitious!
But the thing about Captain America is that his superpower isn't really his incredible strength or indestructability (nobody could jump out of a plane or off buildings or bridges and live. If they did live, they'd have only broken bones.
To me, though, Captain America's real superpower isn't his strength or indestructability. It's his personality. That is, after all, why they chose him to do their experiments. They knew that he'd use how power for good. He was just that way. Captain America, the quintessential good guy, has the power of kindness.
If the world is lacking in good guys, I am curious to know whose fault that is, really. No, guys aren't perfect by any means, but how do girls treat the good guys in their lives? How do they treat the "bad boys" in their lives? Do you see what that does? It causes guys to strive to be bad boys because we not only allow that kind of behavior, but encourage and reward it!
I was out with some friends one time, and one of the guys did something for me to make me feel more comfortable (I get anxious sometimes). Another guy there saw what he was doing, but didn't know why he was doing it. The guy came up to us and started making fun of my friend, who he didn't know, to us, who he didn't know. He was calling my friend a baby and just being really, well, mean. Now, there was a girl with us who was particularly pretty. And I have no doubt that this rude, obnoxious guy was only trying to impress this girl in our group, by putting down our friend who was being a gentleman. And you know what? It worked! I couldn't believe it! She totally gave him her attention, and it was a positive kind of attention! Now, this is the kind of girl who always goes for the bad boy, and always ends up crying because she's been hurt by them.
With an attitude like that, it's no wonder that guys don't want to step up, be gentlemen, and do what's right.
Let's step it up, girls! Let's celebrate the good in our lives, especially the good men! They respond to the kind of encouragement you give them! They'll respond to this, too!
So here's to the good guy! The guys who never lie, the guys who do what's right even if the consequences are severe. I hope that more women out there do what's right and take notice of the nice guys in your lives. They are true treasures. Superheroes. And you don't want to let them go!
