If you want a woman whose ego is validated only by a man, then good luck because you'll need it. That is an insecure dumbazz with no concept of dignity or self-respect. So you are trying to be a player because this is what players do. Just go for the insecure 'hot' chick who has no brain. You are not a 'nice guy', just jealous. This site sums it up quite nicely: http://www.heartless-*******.com/ran...uys/coin.shtml

To be completely honest, the truth is, I guess I wouldn't really know, about guy friends helping their female friends, to find romance. For the past 15 or so years, I have my full efforts into friendships / dating / relationships with only females; haven't really been hanging out even as pals, with many guys for years now. I had 1 bff male friend who I go back years with as a buddy, but yes, he tried as best he could, to help me in the past.

For example, for a semi-formal school dance, he let me go to the dance with his girlfriend at the time, platonically of course, so that I wouldn't have to go alone, or not go at all. I have always deeply and genuinely admired him, for that gesture of kindness and friendship.

ETA: one lesson I've learned though, the hard way, is *never*, *never* mix, friendship and love, with a girl! You'll only get heartbroken and/or lose her friendship, in the end. If you love her romantically...pursue her romantically, only. If she's just a friend to you, *only* be a friend to her. Don't mix both though...a losing combination, any way you cut it.

I dated a guy for close to six years. We were engaged to be married. It did not work out between us but we parted as friends. A few years later I fixed him up with a girl I worked with because they both surfed and loved to travel. They dated for four years.

I think all you can assume is that, for whatever reason, your female friends don’t know anyone who they feel would be a good fit for you.
You may be being overly judgmental by blaming the person instead of the situation; since, it could have just as easily have been a situation with a less altruistic girl friend.

You seem to be implying that you can't be "upfront" with a (girl) friend; is that what friendship is about?

They say they want a nice guy. But actions speak louder than words. Their actions tell a different tale.

You may not be differentiating between sex and love. Are you being ambiguous on purpose?

Does that make is simpler for women to not have to guess a guy's true intentions?

Are nice girls being themselves only when a nice guy leaves the room; or is it only bad girls that are more upfront about it and then waiting for a nice guy to leave the room?

Nice guys usually want women to confide in their sincerity, that is why they practice being sincere.
