Nope. Chasing after or pining for women who don't want you isn't the same as specifically seeking out and dating someone that does bad things bc those qualities turn you on like nothing else.

And most guys do notice nice women. However, noticing a woman and actually having a shot with her are two different things.

Yes, that changes the interpretation a bit. She's trying to make sure people don't get the idea that she married him for his billions of dollars, she married him because he was nice....... sure......

Her quote does make sense though.
Somebody was trying to change nice to "good" recently. That will just make good a 4 letter word to women, like nice is.

Basically, the issue is that most women see any man who has difficulty attracting women as automatically unattractive to them, sight unseen. It is an automatic gut response. Such women all want the guys that other women want. It's a competitive, ego driven thing and they don't want to lose status with their girl friends.

Once a guy is labeled "nice" or "good" or whatever word you choose, he is toast. He may as well move. The opposite is also true. Desirable men can be grade A jerks, everyone is aware of it and women will still line up to try to tame them.

"Nice" men who are desirable, open their wallets wide. A rare breed indeed.

Why?
And in related news, today's paper has a front page article telling us that the women's shelters are overflowing this Xmas.

I'm 92% sure that was taken out of context.

Truth be told, I'm led to believe many women were conditioned to think men are creeps by various media outlets to scare them to thinking that way (Like rape scare tactics). It's amazing how powerful a tool "fear" can do to a person. They could easily confuse a nice guy as just another guy that wants the goods. Beyond the fact that being nice has been shown as some act of de-masculinity.

The moment I've decided to stop all that white-knighting and kept to myself is when the attention starts. Lots of stares, hidden smiles, even flirting (mainly from married or single mothers) to real bizarre but rare incidents like finding a phone number behind a grocery recipt, facebook requests from those who wouldn't of given me the time of day so long ago, anon phone/text, etc. I just have fun with it for a day and leave it at that. I'm not really rolling in the dough, or have the right physique, and drive an inexpensive car so make that what you will.

It's that mysteriousness I guess, they're trying to figure me out and I keep them guessing. A fun social experiment if it doesn't backfire!

I don't have a problem with his looks. He's very well-dressed and probably charming. However, THIS is a bit of a problem...
