i think only a handful of guys on here are truely nice and a gentleman though. Most just wine.
True PF. But I made this thread because I've heard the term used on threads that had nothing to do with nice guys.

You know, I didn't think this whole "nice guy" victim mentality thing was such an epidemic. Must be all the food additives.....

Because people will throw the bad boy/nice guy arguement into about every thread.

it depends if they want it or not, if they simply give up out of being rejected one to many times, but secretly want to be in a relationship, then they are somewhat pathetic, and probably shouldn't enter into a relationship as they are hard to be in at times and require testicular fortitude, which they may not possess. On the other hand, socializing, being friends with people and being in relationships may not be a good fit for certain people.

Constant rejection can make someone go insane. If a guy can't get a girlfriend he should spare the whining and pursue other interests. I think the whining about it is what makes it pathetic.

I'm a woman and can verify this. I've had a horrid past few months because of constant rejection in real life, and through online dating sites. I realized that it simply isn't in the cards to meet someone right now so I've been focusing on other pursuits. So far, I've been surprisingly happy and I save a TON of time not getting 'ready' and looking 'nice' to impress guys that aren't even interested in me.

So far, so good

I wonder about these threads, I read them and I can't help but get major lolz from time to time (like right now).

Because it is the Whack-A-Mole of the CD Relationship Forum. Every time we bash one of these whiny things into submission, another pops up. Let's examine the average life cycle of a "Nice Guy" thread.

STAGE ONE -- OP can't find a woman in his life. Rather than take an objective view of himself in regards to his innate attractiveness, his personality, his timidity, or any number of other obvious flaws, he decides to lay all blame on the opposite sex. The equivalent is a woman writing a thread that starts with "I realize that I weigh 400 pounds and have dime-sized moles all over my face, but why can't men love me for who I am?"

STAGE TWO -- Some well-meaning women say, "Oh, we love nice guys."

STAGE THREE -- OP and other self-proclaimed Nice Guys come back and talk about how women are only interested in bad boys, i.e., investment bankers who ride Harleys all day and treat women like something out of a Raymond Carver novel. Of course, during this stage it emerges that these guys all have rotating charge accounts with the local thrift store for their clothing, live in their mothers' basements, and have unhealthy pallors that come from a diet of nothing but cheeseburgers and Doritos. Several also evince signs of Aspergers. None seem to understand that their theories are self-congratulatory, essentially stating that they are morally superior to idiot women who don't recognize their special qualities.

STAGE FOUR -- The well-meaning women say, "Oh, I love nice guys, but I don't date socially-retarded men who don't respect themselves enough to move out of their mothers' basements, wear clothes that look 20 years old, and can't climb a staircase without being out of breath."

STAGE FIVE -- The Nice Guys then reveal their character a little further, showing themselves to be not Nice Guys, but rather passive-aggressive manlets who lack the innate courage to ever make a move on a date, and then take it out on the female half of the species because they can't get laid.

STAGE SIX -- Petty bickering. Followed by the thread being closed by a moderator.

Hope that explains things.

Anyone proclaiming themselves as "nice" and blaming their bad luck in relationships on the opposite sex not wanting "nice" is probably not too nice at all.
