Xander is such a quippy dude I didn't take that very seriously.But then, even a Nice Guy probably thinks he can get a better Nummy Treat than me, so I've never really faced one off the interweb.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Oh, I agree. Plus, he's talking to Larry, and he's trying to be all manly.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Ple, am I correct in remembering you have a similar disgruntlement with Ducky in Pretty in Pink?
Yes. I hate him like burning.

So extravagant male hopes and dreams about girls they like are now a syndrome? What's the female version, where she's planning the wedding and the names of the kids, after the high school quarterback smiles at her in the hallway?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's not the sort of Nice Guy most people here are talking about.

(For the record, I hate that aspect of Some Kind of Wonderful EVERY BIT AS MUCH as I hate it in Pretty in Pink.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I didn't like any of the male characters is "Pretty in Pink." None of them. I so wanted Molly Ringwald's character to reject them all. I could not stand them.
"Some Kind of Wonderful" I liked better, but it was much thinner on plot and realism than the previous movies. The ending of course was unrealistic.
The thing with Xander is that we aren't really rooting for him like we are supposed to for the lead character of SKOW. So I think it is okay to like him some times and not others (especially Season 6).

My favorite character in Pretty in Pink was Annie Potts. And I sort of assumed Ducky was gay, maybe even before I knew what gay was.

Until she rejects her cool vintage style to be some Yuppie's girlfriend!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I don't remember: did Xander keep his romantic intentions secret from Buffy? If he did disclose, are the romantic intentions in someone who is just friends still NiceGuy behavior?
