a person who has grown enough to see that some things in life aren't wonderful and sometimes people are selfish or disappointing, but has failed to find the humor and irony in this or realistically observe the many good things that also happen in life. oftentimes cynics seem to enjoy attempting to destroy the faith and joy found by other people--even when that faith serves no purpose than to make its owner balanced and happy as a human being.
Amanda said she believes she can accomplish great things in her life if she believes in herself, and Rob being a cynic felt it was his duty to crush this belief which hurt no one and only helped Amanda, thereby making Amanda sad. Rob needs to get a life.

Someone smart enough to realize that life isn't perfect but too stupid to realize that it's still pretty fucking sweet.
Cynic:
That douche that no one invites to parties because he thinks he has an elevated sense of awareness and a mysterious, dark sexiness that all women must find desirable.

a person who became extremely pissed off when he realalised that the universe dosen't revolve arround him.someone who thinks himself hard to please because no one wants to please him. an optomist who traded his rose colored glasses for a flaw finding magnifying glass. a lot of times a person who would rarher bitch about things than try to change them.
