Me too. This puts it all in perspective.

It is a little out of proportion, however. Handsome men who are nice are exceedingly rare and smart ones, while more common, usually use their intelligence entirely for their own purposes.

But it just means you can't be more than one of these. I recommend just being "Nice" if you're gonna pick one. Because even if you top out on smartness, this doesn't matter AT ALL to most women
I'll agree that intelligence rarely cuts much weight. However being nice is the kiss of death. Most women have experienced good looking men faking it and therefore won't believe the real thing.

Perhaps but it will get you many, many chances to find someone who is appropriate for you. Other guys have few or almost no opportunities. Women will not give up on finding one of these guys until it has become obvious that they have no further hope.

Yes. Quit looking for women and you'll find the happy single life.

SO that is where the Handsome/Nice intersection are found. Never seen any in real life.

So far, all I get is guys who get giddy over 2 for 1 beer on Friday (and don't get me wrong, that is pretty exciting ) , but it seems hard to find true intellectual curiosity in many men.

And your description of 'nice' wouldn't be attractive to me. One of my biggest pet peeves is people who just agree with you all the time and tell you what you want to hear.

I have to agree. The women I've had relationships with all hate this. They may tolerate it, but only before you marry and ONLY if they find you to be a distinct improvement over the type of man who they should be trying to attract.

In other words, if a man is interested in a woman, he better get used to saying "Yes, dear" and be able to say it convincingly or divorce is on the way.

I love geek/nerd men. That's exactly my SO sweetie.

Note to OP: Try looking for women that are in the background, the so-called non-hot. There are diamonds in the rough there who would be more than happy with you.

So, basically, lower your standards until you meet someone? Great advice...

That's not what she said at all. She said "Diamonds in the rough" meaning they are worthwhile women just less obvious.

You know, Mark Zukerburg is a Nerd but I bet he can get almost any woman he want because he's a billionaire...

All, when I posted the Diagram, it made me laugh, maybe because it is funny, maybe because it is true. - I find that as a "nice guy" I tend to get crapped on more, then when you are a dick.
I have not been on this forum for about a year, while I was moving to Las Vegas (I'm ALWAYS on the Vegas forum) and have gotten some very nice DM's from people.

Thanks

Jonathan
