Topic: Are you wondering where all the nice guys are? | |
---|---|
Just had time to read page one so far, of this thread:
Thought this article below might help offer a different perspective..... Hope this helps. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The Nice Guy Syndrome" "I'm one of the nicest guys I know." "How come I always seem to give so much more than I get?" "All I want is to be appreciated, is that asking too much?" "I can never do it right." Sound familiar? These are typical Nice Guy sentiments. A nice guy's primary goal is to make others happy. Nice guys have been conditioned to believe that if they are good, giving, and caring, they will be loved, get what they want, and have a smooth life. Who is a nice guy? He is the relative who lets his wife run the show. He is the friend who will do anything for anybody, but whose own life seems to be in shambles. He is the guy who frustrates his wife because he is so afraid of conflict that nothing ever gets resolved. He is the boss who tells one person what they want to hear, then reverses himself to please someone else. He is the man who lets people walk all over him because he doesn't want to rock the boat. He is the dependable guy at work who will never say "no," but would never tell anyone if they were imposing on him. He is the man whose life seems so under control, until BOOM, one day he does something to destroy it all. In general, nice guys share the following characteristics: Nice guys seek the approval of others. Nice guys try to hide their perceived flaws and mistakes. Nice guys put other people's needs and wants before their own. Nice guys sacrifice their personal power and often play the role of a victim. Nice guys tend to be disconnected from other men and from their own masculine energy. Nice guys co-create relationships that are less than satisfying. Nice guys create situations in which they do not have very much good sex. Nice guys frequently fail to live up their full potential. If the characteristics listed above fit you or someone you know, read on. No More Mr. Nice Guy! presents a proven plan to help passively pleasing men stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in love and life.

Sometimes guys ARE being Nice Guys for all the RIGHT reasons, and still aren't appreciated for who they are.
This happens a lot, too. And to these Nice guys out there ..... stay true to YOU , cause a RIGHT Lady WILL come along..all in due season. But in the meantime, all the wrong relationships, can serve as steppingstones ,towards meeting that RIGHT one out there.....and can actually BETTER prepare YOU for that right person, still to come. Trust me, there ARE still women out there, who WILL appreciate You ,for being a Truly Nice Guy !! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for Princess: (awe Princess ,YOU are the Beautiful One, .. ) |
