I dont know what in my post indicates thats my stance. If you want to post less on CD and date more women, shoot me a DM for life saving tip.

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.
Oh. My. God. Just fell out of my chair laughing

Hey hey, to be fair, cheeseburgers and doritos are delicious.

And if you combine the doritos on the cheeseburgers? mmm

There haven't been any nice guy threads. There have been "average looking" guy threads, short guy threads, bald guy threads. The nice guy issue is about some of the guys here insisting that all women want bad boys and that nice guys finish last, while the C-D women generally say they like nice guys. I guess the guys who think they're hot want to believe that that's all it takes to get women, they don't want to believe women will turn them down for being jerks. idk, go figure.

Women love nice guys. I know lots of married nice guys. Some are average-looking and what some people on the short guys thread would call "short" (5'6 or 5'7), others are great looking. None are doormats. All have good-looking wives, hot, even. Reality is so radically different from the simplistic formulas spouted around here, you have to take the negativity with a grain of salt or two.

I've seen a lot of threads where the nice guy question comes up and gets discussed. Haven't seen any with "nice guy" in the OP. Could be they were before my time, if there were any.

I feel like a referenced character from a David Allen Coe song, as I inform you that you have almost written the perfect country-and-western song.


You have almost written the perfect Nice Guy-vs-Evil song... but you didn't mention anything about Game... or the 50's housewife... or Child Support... or the presupposition that foreign women really know how to treat their men...

Because if they know they can get women just by the way they look while treating women like garbage, why change it if it works? I know quite a few men who have multiple women on speed dial using them for sex or money, while these women believe they're going to change these guys somehow. Once he's finshed with them he drops that women and picks up another. It's too easy for some men. All I can do is shake my head.

Ladies if you don't want to date these so-called 'nice guys' then don't even think about them.

Guys if you can't stand nice guys because they're wusses and wimps than don't even be around them.

If you can't stand a group of people than why talk about them ad nauseaum?
I don't know any "nice guys". I don't really know any "bad boys" either. I know men who kick both their asses.
