Good is you are acceptable as a general rule; no serious character flaws. A good date is the person did not do anything offensive but the conversation or company was not memorable and you don't feel a connection except general friendship.

I don't know that all good things have more depth but generally I would say that a good person is more considerate, makes and effort, and generally is more dependable and predictable than say a bad person or concept that usually exploits someone; some how.

Pleasant would be someone I have companionable values and interests with and when I am with them enjoy the activity and conversation; the time seems to fly by and I hope to see them again.

The problem with your limitation, is that these words "good" and "pleasant" ARE the kind which are entirely dependent for meaning on context, intent, and so on.

I wont ask you to explain why you are asking, but while keeping my integrity entirely intact, I will point out that

* for many people I know, when they say something is "pleasant," they mean that they actually don't care for it themselves, but are going to be polite and gracious, and allow you to enjoy it.

* many other people use the two interchangeably. Context and so on, again.

* some really picky people, especially when speaking in a religious or philosophical context, will insist that "good" is a very important and difficult thing to address, requiring much study, and possibly designation of an official authority.

I myself use the words interchangeably at times, and with strict definitions at other times, depending on what's going on, my mood, and very much, on who I'm talking to.

Okay?

for me good is deeper

for me, good implies an inner character

where as pleasant is only the outer appearance/presentation

When I read that, first feeling is:
Good is GOOD! It's what I want, it's great, wonderful!!

Pleasant is okay. It's nice. It's something on the way to what's good, or something that's good enough for now, but not what/how I really want it to be.

So it's slightly less than good.

I'm going for a good (great) relationship, not a pleasant one. A good relationship is also pleasant, but it holds more premise than just that.

I am going for a good partner, not a pleasant partner.

Pleasant is more level, comfortable with a slightly boring edge to it. It's like sitting and remaining deep in your comfort zone. Nothing happens in your comfort zone though ... Things happen outside of it.

Good is something or someone with acceptable and admirable qualities or characteristics, a real gem or real gentleman. It possess the positive traits that are valuable. Like a good guy is someone who has no flaws, with whom any girl feels safe, respected and protected. While pleasant would mean only a certain quality is likable not the totality of a thing or person. You see some flaws in it, nearly good but not perfectly good which urge you to seek for options if only there is.....if only you could find something good or better that you are really looking for, you will not settle for less.

A good thing or good person has more depth because they are dependable, trustworthy and reliable wherein you can always count on to be there for you no matter what happens. The depth of their goodness never waver and stays stronger and deeper even when some bad people take advantage of them .

I agree with this remark... Good is something or someone with acceptable and admirable qualities or characteristics, and even humorous at times ... as far as Pleasant for me ...could be all of what is good ... and I would like to be compatible and have a pleasant time with them ... pleasant to be around... good to be around ...
