There are 3 types of guys I have had the pleasure of meeting in Long.
1. The Overcompensator
The first of these guys is what I call an "overcompensator". He looks self-assured and confident from afar. From my experience he is either a looker or seems to be successful. He is usually arrogant and always right. Be prepared to be thrown into a long discussion or debate about something trivial with this man. Usually in the cases of these men, they are too good to be true! They usually are overcompensating for something (whatever flaw they seem to find in themselves). This could be anything from being rude because they short; or to spending a hell of a lot in the clubs because they actually are not rich; or he is really very fat and finds pleasure in lecturing you on how you should give everyone a chance because your parents have taught you better. You know, those guys that buy the expensive drinks with their months salary or always seem to drag you into some kind of argument? He is one guy to definitely avoid on a night out. He will have you so antagonized by the end of the night, you will wonder why you thought that day was a good day for a night out.
2. The All-Rounder
Number two is the "all-rounder". This guy is everyone's friend. He is a floater, striking up conversations with anyone who will listen. He seems to gel to all sorts of people across all boundaries. Or so it seems... From my experience if you take a good look at this guy something is just not right. The following is just an example I mean nothing offensive by it, but: He is usually the the black guy in a group of white friends (yet again I state just an example), but hang on a second... now that you have seen this guy so many times on Long you begin to notice... he tends to speak to everyone of all ages except... black people! Yes, now that you really analyze all those times you have seen this guy around, not once have you seen him with black people. But, he is black! Baffled? Well so am I.
3. The Cant-complain Guy
You know this guy. He is the one when you always ask "How are you?" His response is always "Can't complain." Yep, he is the most content of these three guys. Why? He accepts who he is! He has absolutely no problems with himself. Bad-hair, smelly, badly dressed, unsuccessful or poor; he has no issues. He is actually very nice to spend your time with. He is always up for anything and he's a fantastic conversationalist. But you just can't shake that feeling that he is a waste of time? That's because he is a complete waste of time. How can you be completely content that you as a human being are not moving forward in life? How are you okay with no further education past High School or find it okay to start your day without a shower?! But hey, at least his still a nice guy to hang out with. You seriously don't have to marry the guy.
That concludes my list of the types of guys you find on Long Street. You really don't have to take my word for it. Like I said its just my ill-fated experience.
