A few weeks back *and by that it’s probably closer to a month or two* I received an e-mail from Lucky over at Cocktails at Tiffany’s. My memory fails to recall how I came across the literary musings on that site, but it did not take very long for me to become a faithful follower.
Turns out she and Gizzy *the other half of this incredible awesome and talented duo* decided they wished to pick my brain and see if they could figure out what made me tick. Well, maybe not so much tick but maybe get some insight on my particularly unique perspective about the male gender. Who better to ask than…well…a male?
Talk about being flattered. Honored even. When the blogging began I figured no one would really care about the words that stumbled through my mind. Color me surprise that not only are there people who actually read the dribble that I publish *;)* but now I’m being asked specific questions that weigh heavily on my point of view, opinions and some facts.
Whhhaaa??
Taking this task extremely seriously I toiled over the proposed questions where hours turned into days. Many sessions at the laptop were spent in the shared space of a local coffee shop observing life and sipping a tasty brewed coffee beverage.
At times I felt like I was doing an interview with Entertainment Weekly, or Maxim, GQ…perhaps Cosmo. *minus the weirdly artistic photo shoot*
Am I really what I claim to be? Do I live up to my moniker? Have I provided any possible insight that single ladies can use when searching for a suitor? How does one separate the Good Guys from the D-Bags?
Check it out on their blog titled ‘Mr. Nice Guy‘ *not to be confused with the Jackie Chan movie from 1997*
Great interview Matt–Loved getting to know you a bit better:) You’re GF is a lucky girl!
Posted by Melissa's Meanderings | July 7, 2011, 11:10 amThanks Melissa. She would very likely agree with you, though I have to give my typical response and say I’m the one who really lucked out.
I mean really…I found a girl who will put my with my antics. Come on. I’m lucky.
Posted by Matthew | July 8, 2011, 10:51 amYey Matthew! You’re famous!
(i love that blog – funny girls over there)
Posted by Grey Goose, Dirty | July 7, 2011, 4:33 pmI don’t know really about famous (like I said, I didn’t get a photo shoot). Bummer.
Great blog over there. Great girls.
Posted by Matthew | July 8, 2011, 10:53 amAre you always such a perfectionist???
Posted by Surrey gal | July 7, 2011, 6:16 pmPerfectionist? How have you come to this conclusion?
Wait. Have you been talking to my girlfriend???
Posted by Matthew | July 8, 2011, 10:53 amI have to come back and read the article but I like what I read so far
Excellent job! (I have to go get ready for work before I stress my day out unnecissarily! )
Posted by mysterycoach | July 8, 2011, 6:35 amWork!? It’s Friday. Read on. Read on!
Posted by Matthew | July 8, 2011, 10:54 amLoved the interview – great job
Posted by Catherine | July 8, 2011, 9:47 pmThank you!
Posted by Matthew | July 11, 2011, 7:50 amNo I couldn’t read on but I read it this morning. Very well thought out. I’m not sure what how you like your coffee has to do with it though. LOL
I have a friend who is married who used to say nice guys finished last and I couldn’t figure out why. So, one day I told him, “But you’re happily married aren’t you? How can you still be saying that?” I told him he needed to stop saying that because it wasn’t true. He was a nice guy and married a woman who got sick of the dummies who had no clue.
Posted by mysterycoach | July 9, 2011, 4:39 amPrecisely. I used to say that all the time too (because many times I used to believe it). As I got older I realized I wasn’t going to change and not too long before I started this blog I realized that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my approach towards things and sooner or later I’d find someone who truly appreciates my “finer” qualities.
Thus, ‘to prove the nice guy doesn’t always finish last’.
And fortunately, it didn’t take me too long after to find someone who not only has helped me not only prove my theory but helped me realize that all of this time being single was just biding time until the day I would meet her.
Oh! And the coffee deal, the way I see it everyone needs to know how others take their coffee. It’s becoming a social norm.
Posted by Matthew | July 11, 2011, 7:55 amYes as did my friend believe it.
I can’t see why you should change at all, you have it nailed. And GOOD FOR YOU … and this is what you deserve as well, someone who appreciates your finer qualities. No fighting about it, no proving it, none of that nonsense. Just “be”… 
Aaaawwww… ur mushy moo, good for you guys, makes me happy for you! Oh… really? (as to the coffee) I only have some in the morning, I stopped drinking it many years ago as much as I did … it’s not all that good for a body. It’s just … the social norm 
LOL 
Posted by mysterycoach | July 11, 2011, 6:53 pmWowza! Love and appreciate all the comments here! Gizzy and I are always happy to have a male’s perspective on our site…even we get sick of ourselves sometimes.
Thanks again, Nice Guy, for answering all the questions and taking the assignment for realz!
To MysteryCoach, the coffee thing was my question—it was really just meant to break up the seriousness a bit…and, I always like to see how people prepare their coffee…if at all. I drink mine black (hot and bitter, just like my men).
Thanks for reading errybody!
-Lucky
