What type of guys are you interacting with? (Age, job, education, intelligence level)
Yep, that's me. The guys I'm interacting with are in their mid 20s to early 30s, education level is probably a few college classes here and there, intelligence level is firmly average. The drug/drinking culture is very prevalent where I live so most of the guys I come in contact with are heavy drinkers and pot smokers/shroom takers etc. and I personally don't like any of that. Plus, I will admit that my tattoos (which are all professionally done)probably push me into a lower 'caste', if you will, regardless of my accomplishments my education or my hobbies.

It's technically my instructors plane, but I've been maintaining it so he lets me fly here and there.

Nice is fine, but much of what OP suggested was wishy-washy. Wishy-washy = no bueno.

For the same reasons "nice guys" come on here and complain women only want bad boys. I dated a guy last year who had a horrible ex girlfriend. She controlled his every move, hated his family and treated them poorly (he has an awesome family), and to my knowledge they barely ever had sex because she didn't like it...enter yours truly - I treated him awesome, did things with his family, was thoughtful and attentive (wink), and yet he didn't want a relationship with me. Shrug. I think some men AND women enjoy being treated like crap. Maybe they enjoy the challenge, who knows.

I don't really get the whole attraction to 'bad boys' or 'bad girls.' However you define it, I'd be totally fine with somebody who was kind-hearted, treated people well, didn't always have to prove herself by being a 'rebel.' Being assertive and respecting yourself doesn't make you 'bad', nor does being a doormat alone make you 'nice.'

I think plenty of guys would like a nice girl. It just depends on what we mean by nice. Like the recent thread about nice guys, if "nice girl" means boring, dull, shy, intorverted, etc, it is going to be more difficult for her to find and keep men. If "nice girl" means, polite, loyal, but also knowledgable, fun, exciting, etc, then it is a different story.

This!! A guy probably doesn't want a "nice" woman who stays home with her 4 cats and never leaves the house.

I just don't think that most men want to dominate over women. The "nice girls" that were being outlined in the OP's post were basically insisting on their guys to do just that.

Being nice has nothing to do how fun or interesting you are, although yes, I suppose that for some people 'nice' suggests not very exciting or something like that, as in a cup of tea or something.

I agree, nice doesn't equate to fun. Yet, when people label someone as "nice" they are generally using the term "nice" as a polite way of expressing a different trait, or traits, which may be more in line with not being fun.

It sort of depends on the definition of "nice." If nice simply meant a kind, considerate, giving, and polite individual, I doubt they would have trouble finding dates or relationships. I don't know many men who stay with women who are rude, self centered, or controlling.

If you swap 'nice' for interesting then i think many men would be happy to date an 'interesting' girl.

'Interesting' holds your attention and makes you want to know/experience more... 'nice' is a cup of tea with your Grandparents
