As a single girl, it’s hard to resist the urge to curse at Ryan Gosling’s latest enchanting movie character, or throw Nicholas Sparks’ newest captivating love story to the ground. At one time in our lives, each of us, as young women, has reserved the right to declare, “There are just no nice boys out there!” Now, c’mon ladies. Let’s get down to the nitty, gritty, not-so-nice truth of the matter- the secret that no one wants to share because it sounds too superficial, too pretentious. Girls simply don’t think there are any nice boys who are also cute. It’s true. Most hot guys have a big head and a serious attitude problem. It’s time to put down the torches and pitch-forks and step away from the Disney World princess, because there is in fact a nice, attractive young man right here on Temple University’s campus!
