--- Quote from: snubnose on 11 Jul 2014, 00:31 ---Well OK "nice guy" isnt exactly a clearly defined term in the first place, but still I dont see how "being honest about your feelings" fits into any definitions I'm aware of.
Nice guys are typically thought of as people of low self esteem, overly sensitive/feminine, they end up too easily in the friend zone of girls they fancy, they are respectful towards women (at least they think so) while the girls they fancy end up with douchebags, etc.
If theres anything Sven doesnt lack is confidence. And he isnt very sensitive at all, either.

However, the core of Nice Guyism is that doing nice actions entitles them to a relationship or sex. And, he's stressing that he's being honest with Faye, as if that's supposed to mean something to her.
pwhodges:
I wouldn't call his present state "Nice Guy", though; he simply doesn't get it. He's in danger of falling that way, though, if he tries using his declaration of love as a cynical ploy - but for now I see him as genuine but lacking understanding.

On the contrary. This is way better than her usual stuff.

Yes, precisely the point. I don't think she will be buying it for her next album.

I think you indeed definitely do read too much into it.
Faye's version got to the point much quicker then your unnecessarily much more longwinded one.
--- End quote ---
She doesn't have to use "my" long winded response ad-verbatim. Hell, even a simple "I'm with Angus you dumbass!" sounds 'stronger' because it reminds Sven that "hey, I'm with somebody, you already know who he is and you should know how much I care about him".
I know that I'm just being picky, though. I know that Faye is very stressed with Angus' possible move and can't be assed to tread on words right now, when the objective is "make Sven go away".
And...even if she had worded it differently, I'm not sure it would have made a difference with Sven anyhow. Because truthfully, I'm not sure how convinced he is, and if he isn't convinced, he needs to come to the realization that him and Faye aren't happening on his own.

:roll: Damn. I was looking forward to royalties from her next megahit.
