The Russian lover claims he only dates bitches, because bitches are the best kind of women to date. Bitches have standards, and boundaries, and spines. They treat themselves with respect; they treat their lovers like gold, their loved ones with concern, and everyone else with indifference.
A bitch will always be a challenge, and anyone who isn't up to it fails to hold her attention. And the people she snubs are the ones who turn around and call her a bitch.
Women are supposed to be self-immolating, self-loathing, and above all - nice. We're not supposed to go around breaking hearts, stepping on toes, and spitting in faces. We should always be kind...to everyone, always. We should be doormats with mild preferences. We should pretend to care about things we don't care about if it makes us look nice. Because we're supposed to be nice..to everyone, always.
But people who are "nice" are just people with a pleasant void where other people have emotions and opinions. "Nice" is going for mass appeal, not a niche market. "Nice" wants everyone to like them, so they water down their responses and dull the edges of their personality. They want to be popular, like vanilla ice cream; they don't want to cause trouble like foie gras. And so "nice" has a crowd of approval but never finds genuine appreciation; it is not an acquired taste, and so it has no connoisseurs. "Nice" can never pair itself with something outstanding; and while it never need fear being spat back out as something foul, it can also never enjoy being relished by another.
At best "nice" people are simply dull; at worst they are monsters. Lacquered in something palatable to exploit the unsuspecting. These are the bland people who chat amiably with you in line at the store, and go off to kick puppies or film kiddie porn. They shake your hand with a smile before they swindle you. They compliment ugly women, they donate to charity, they never raise their voice in anger, and then they get arrested for hacking up a runaway teen in their basement and everyone is shocked. Because they were so nice, you see.
Nice has nothing going for it really, but it's easy to deal with and always unobjectionable. It doesn't leave its mark, but it doesn't leave a stain. The bitches are remembered, even if it's only because you hate them - hate them for insulting you. Or for ignoring you, which is even more insulting. You hate them because you are as nice as can be, and the bitch just doesn't care.
Because she isn't nice, you see.
