not ALL women want a man that thinks more about himself. I for one like the nice guys..


I like nice guys, too. There still has to be that spark, though.

being a nice guy really does not have to mean all those listed items...cause that really means you're a Putty

In my personal opinion I can understand why they dont want that...nor would I in a woman.

Probably going to catch heck with this one...... but given all the threads ad nauseum about "Where are the nice women? Why nice guys finish last?" I felt compelled to contribute this list.
Ladies, feel free to add your own thoughts. This is not meant to denigrate anyone, but rather to point out some characteristics and behaviors associated with the "typical" nice guy, and how it may be perceived by the ladies..

If you are a nice guy, who does not exhibit the negative behaviors listed, and/or do exhibit some of the others..... all hope is not lost!I'm not bashing nice guys here. There are plenty of nice guys out there that already know this stuff.



10 Reasons Why Women Turn Away NICE Guys
1. We want a guy who does not have “Doormat” or “Pushover” stamped on his forehead.
2. We want a guy who doesn’t call us 40 million times a day just to hear our voice.
3. We want a guy whose backbone is at least as strong as our own…. Who has opinions, expresses them, and does not necessarily back down when challenged.
4. We like challenges as much as men. Let us wonder about you a little bit. Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve too soon.
5. Being a little bit bad is NICE…….. and sparks excitement.
6. We want to feel like the guy we’re with has more testosterone than we do.
7. We want a man who does not come off as “needy”. If you demand all our time, or push us too fast…..or insist on a commitment a week into a relationship….. as is sometimes the case….. we run. (Men do the same thing with women)
8. We need a man who will not smother us. There is sometimes a fine line between attentiveness and overdoing it.
9. We like it when a guy can bring out the “bad” girl in us. Many “nice” guys (not all) have a hard time doing this.
10. We like men who take ACTION…….. accept responsibility for themselves and their actions….and who do not whine.






No such thing as a nice guy
I beg to differ

you can differ, but don't beg :wink:

If everyone has always told you you're sweet, thoughtful, nice... and you KNOW you're not a pushover or have any other severe hang-ups, then by all means, DON'T assume that just because you've met up with the wrong people means that being a nice person makes you miss out. All you're missing out on are the jerks, the losers, the desperate, the users, the whiners, the drama queens, etc.

If that's the type of people you want to pick you, then sure, become a jerk. If you want to meet the sweet, genuine, loving, considerate people, then keep up the sweetness. Your time will come. flowerforyou

Upland, you're right. I did not mean for the list to appear that all nice guys have these qualities. Real men and real nice guys have many more admirable qualities. These are just qualities that alot of guys have, who classify themselves as nice and may not realize they come across that way.

I know for a fact that I have at least two things on my mind at all times. Sometimes even three. drinker

yeah they seem ok, right even...but honestly i just want a guy that wants more than to just get in my pants...and actually means what he says, and isnt saying it just to sleep with me.
