Often, he is a kind and sympathetic person who listens well, and lends a shoulder for women to cry on. He's loved and admired, but not the type of fellow women sleep with.\u003c\/p\u003eIf there is a hell, this is it, and I'm in the penthouse.\u003cp\u003eI was raised to be a nice guy.

Should I shed my skin, get a Harley and tattoos, lose all concern for how I'm perceived, and begin banging lonely chicks by the dozen, just to please my pecker? I can't do it.

His feline companions, Syd and Symon, share his home in San Diego and an occasional dish of leftover tuna. Torcivia loves nothing better than bellying up to the bar with his favorite social lubrication (wine) and watching the bizarre mating rituals of the locals, which he translates into humorous essays. He has been single long enough to be involved in a few train wrecks of his own, admitting that he's \"one relationship disaster away from a third cat.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67159578673267,"sku":"9781490983691","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_aecb0003-7482-4929-bd42-b8238a8149e8.jpg?v=1794313057","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/nice-guy-syndrome-9781490983691","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
