This is a very important personality trait that i look for in a woman. Beyond simply being nice, i like women who are sweet. I am realizing that i don't specify this requirement enough in my online dating profiles. I always list that i am looking for a nice and funny woman, but i should amend that and say i want a sweet and funny woman.

Yes, I've been told many times that I am a "sweet" person. I guess I don't mind, but I know I've been taken advantage because of it or sometimes people mistaken my sweetness for having affections for them.

Sweet sometimes, Gamey other times. Variables dictate the current mood of any individual at any given moment. It is in my opinion not possible to be sweet all the time, often yes, all the time, not so much.

Define sweet, please? And what exactly is the differentiation between sweet and nice?

I can be sweet.

Though I'm not the mushy type, at least initially anyways....

"Sweet" is a word I associate with children and old people. I do consider myself kind and thoughtful.

Sweet sounds like someone who lets others walk all over them and who wouldn't stand up for others either. I don't want b*****, but someone who's a good person would be great.

And no, I'm not sweet. I mean, I can be to some people, but to others, I am a condescending jerk, especially if I don't respect or like you. I guess I'm 3-Dimensional as are most people.

Great answer BQ. People are multi dimensional, given the circumstances we can all be sweet, or mean, or kind, or grumpy, or whatever. No-one can be sweet all the time. I would hope in a loving relationship people are sweet and nice and thoughtful to one another, otherwise it's not really much of a relationship.

I am a woman. As such I can be kind, compassionate, giving, generous, and understanding. IMHO, "sweet" is for candy, little girls, and maladapted adults who wear pigtails and have Hello Kitty cell phones.

I consider myself to be (and, am told I am considered by others to be) nice, kindhearted, considerate, sensitive, affectionate, thoughtful, and sincere.

I don't know if this equals "sweet" or not. I feel like "sweet" has Pollyanna-ish connotations, and that doesn't really fit me, despite the above descriptors. In addition to the above, I'm also strongwilled, opinionated, direct, and can be stubborn. I'm sure different people have different definitions of what constitutes "sweet," but to me, it can too easily have pushover-y connotations. I'm very nice, and have a kind, bleeding heart for others...but I am not a doormat. And I feel like, to some, if you have a backbone, you aren't going to be considered "sweet."

I'm a good person, probably with more empathy to spare than most...but I'm not Miss Wide Eyed Little Mary Sunshine, either. I'm a real person. Sweet? Dunno about that. I'll take kindhearted, though.
