I see this question posted all of the time in the personals section, so I thought I'd take a minute to explain things to the ladies out there that haven't figured it out. What happened to all the nice guys? The answer is simple: you did. See, if you think back really hard, you might vaguely remember a platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn't feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the other guy that you were screwing treated you. At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you denied having any romantic feelings for him, and told everyone that you were "just friends." Besides, he absolutely was not your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease. Eventually, your platonic buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you weren't dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. So, now, you're single again, and after having tried the bar scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, "What happened to all the nice guys?" Well, once again, you did. You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating with physical intimacy. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive platonic friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open, or make dinners just because, or buy you a Christmas gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset, or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an asshole than he ever wanted to be. The fact is, now, he's probably getting laid, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, and only if they are lucky. So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do: 1.) Build a time machine. 2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass. 3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab a hold of it. I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you. If you were five years younger. So please, either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've really screwed up. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bull**** and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't want you, at least not now. Sincerely, Jimmy F An Actual Nice Guy Nice try, but it can't all be summed up this way, too many variables...better luck next time...I guess you see yourself as a nice guy...nice guys can be a@@holes too... I'm afraid I'll have to agree with this. I went for the "nice guy." He didn't end up being so nice. Stayed with him for 26 years. Realized...other than my beautiful children nothing was nice, at all. I never had my head up my a@@. I think I hid my brain for a while. The nicer I was, the meaner he became. --His Loss! Divorce papers coming in the mail, maybe today. --My Gain! |

I may not totally agree with everyones opinion here, But we all have the right to our own.
After many years of being married, Being able to watch other relationships around. What I have seen works both ways. Food for thought. Image and money plays a big roll in todays dating. Really think about it for a moment. These people who say "what happened to the nice people that I want to meet" Greed and Image took that from you. You were so narrow minded in finding your dream person that you were taught to find, You didn't take a couple of minutes to look at all of the other flowers, Instead you focused on the one you are to believe is the "rose". Well in looking at its beauty, you didn't take the time to look the whole thing over from the ground up. You missed those sharp edges, And got yourself cut when you picked it up. And like all the other flowers out there it eventually "DIES". And you probably still have a scar from it. In reality, People with money , Image and those "rose" Looks are after what. You guessed it , more of those thing we seem to need to have been over looking. These people will use you for the same thing you are using them for. So reality kicks in. Boo-hoo. So you come on here asking what happened to the "Nice People", Well lets just say they are probably with the person who actually excepted them for who they are and not what they may have, YOUR LOSS ! Face it you will never be happy with your life until you get out of that mode. Case: Person a finds the image person. Hook up.. Date .. Then find out the " image person is not whom they seemed to have been. You find..been cheating on you. Lieing to you. Basically "Using" you to there content. So who is to blame. Not the "Nice People" And back to where have they gone. HEY WAKE UP.. They moved on to be with the one who excepted them for who they were. They took the time to listen to your "Image Person". And laughed at you silently saying" What a fool ". As you can take notice. Niether gender has be used here since it happens on both sides. So with that said, Take the time to move away from the main stream, Slow down and look at all the flowers. You may notice they may not be the "IMAGE", And could possibly have more qualities that you really are looking for. |

No not really, Same boat here. Dated a few since my ex's loss. (She is still alive) And when they found out that I actually pay my support, Then realized that my income is not what they would like to have, They tend to move on. So I am on my own.
One actually have the gull to come back (after dating some one else for a while and being cheated on and lied to.) And say that I was for real, And i didn't make and "Image" of who I wasn't. And wanted to get back with me... My answer was.. Sorry your loss, Not mine.. So yes todays dating is really based on "money, Image, And so on" There are some that will say "NO its not" They probably are lieing as well. Not saying that there are none out there. But Damn it is hard to find them. I feel I am doing right in my life, Taking what I have and making the most out of it. Going to College, To better myself and show my sons that I can continue to better myself. Don't miss understand me, I do make decent money, But I pay the higher bracket in child-support, My Ex likes her new Bmw, But I love my 98. LOL |

I make decent money too, but I don't seem to keep any of it. Raising a child by myself; putting myself through college, moving around a few times; it all took a toll. So although I have a good job, I don't have cash to dazzle the gigolos with. And although I try to take good care of my health, I don't have a body to dazzle the older guys with. All I am left with is a great mind and an amazing heart.
Nobody wants that kind of thing. |

Bottom line is any guy who BLAMES his "niceness" for losing or not getting women....Has no grasp on reality, or cannot take responsibility for his own actions that caused the downfall of his relationship.

All this proves is that you can copy and paste.I have seen it before. Guess what -you have to be more than nice.You have to be smart and interesting and fun. And if you chose to behave badly now, blame it on yourself- not the girls you went to high school with. Grow the hell up. OUCH. LOL |
