There's a difference between nice/ good guy and shy/ smothering type of guy who think they are "nice/good guys" and get offended when women don't respond to them well.

Would you mind elaborating on why you think shy=smothering
I was responding to danielpalos's continuing assertions that nice guys are nice because they make it known up front all they want is sex.
I didn't read the entire thread. But I don't understand that type of reasoning. This is how I would describe guys like that: Bad guys that admit they're bad and they think that makes them nice guys for being honest.
However, admitting you're the bad guy is better than being a hypocrite and pretending you're good. If you're going to be the bad guy, at least admit it. But it's best to actually be a nice guy.

Didn't mean to imply they were equal because they are not.
I was just giving an example of nice/good guys that are also shy and/or may smother a woman that shows interest in them. Honestly, I was speaking from my experience with two nice/good guys. One who was shy and though its kinda cute at first, it wears thin after a while, especially when you end up knowing the person for a while. Another one was telling me he missed me and asking me if I thought about him while I went away for the holidays. Intense feelings so early on when its not reciprocated is unfortunate. Anyways, those were both nice/good guys who didn't quite work out; sometimes, being nice/good is not enough if there are other qualities that stand out.
You may not be differentiating between sex and love. Are you being ambiguous on purpose?
In my post, I was talking about friendship and love (the LTR, committed kind), not including the physical intimacy part. But I suppose if you included physical intimacy into the equation, then yes, it would still be the same idea: don't mix friendship and intercourse, either.
I never have, and never will, engage in a "FWB" scenario, with any girl I am friends with, ever. To me, it just seems morally wrong, because it would be almost the same as getting physical with a sister, or a female cousin.
