As most nice guys get older, they come to realize how lucky they are.

Thanks Mom. You saved me a bundle of money and/or from a life of irritation and anxiety.

Maybe you all can start by treating all women with respect and not a piece of meat looking for money. Women watch the way you interact with others and that includes other women, female relatives and the like. A pleasant person does not pathetic make.

Okay im a nice guy and still a virgin ..though i was in a relationship got engaged and broke off .. still consider sex before marriage as a taboo ..not because of my culture or religion ..simply because i want to have an intimate relationship with that someone who values it .. someone special ..when in relationship i thought shes the one ..so i restricted myself to just hugging, kissing and caressing .. i practiced self restraint in every way ...but anywayz things dont always work the way u want it to .. if a girl cheats me for sex and cant be patient to wait for 2 months while im away at work ..she couldnt be less than a ***** .. and im definitely not a dog to get laid with every other woman i meet in the alley seriously .. its so degrading .. im not saying that the grapes are sour .. its just that im a guy with integrity .. who values love and respect .. a relationship could be a play ground for some ..but it leaves emotional scars on your mind .. so dont make it a necessity ..rather play safe and dont let people take advantage of u simply for quenching their lust .. as for the nice guys ..girls would like u if u're really a nice guy .. and a nice guy would never let himself down by being a slave of his own desires .. so if u desire a girl .. dont become a slave try and be the master of the art ... and treasure it !! ..

The things that I find women responding to repeatedly are men who manage to worm their way into or create a group and to offer something that the group likes and respects. This will engender respect, status, and novelty and this is what women really notice, appreciate, and get turned on by.

What you "nice guys" consider as being nice is probably a toxic mix of being passive aggressive, boring, submissive, and clingy. Women smell this stuff like a dog smells fear.

For once in your ****ing life, look at guys who get laid a lot. Examine what they are doing. These guys who get women are sometimes jerks and sometimes really polite....but what do they have in common? They make things happen and they make things fun. And, you quite clearly do not. Notice the difference? Instead of whining about this **** how's about you emulate the guys who are finding success?
I always laugh at posts like these. The stereotypical nice guy may be boring, insecure and a pushover, but telling him to emulate the guys who are out there getting laid a lot is bad advice. Trying to act like someone you're not isn't the answer. The real problem with these nice guys is they project that they don't like themselves and that's what turns off women. Instead of trying to model themselves after the guys who successful with women, what these nice guys should start by doing is focusing on themselves. What is about you that you don't like? What can you change and what's stopping you from doing so? There are a lot of nice guys out there who don't have to be the bad boy or jerk and they do just fine with women. Why? Because they like who they are and don't feel the need to change just to suit someone else. And the successful nice guy has enough confidence in himself where he's not too worried about being rejected. It's not the end of the world to him. That's what distinguishes him from the stereotypical nice guy.

I'm inclined to agree with this.

Never mistake kindness for weakness. I'm a nice guy but I'm about as confident and strong willed as they come. If you can't be yourself, who can you be? I am who I am and refuse to put on a fake front just to impress someone. The guys who do this are pretty pathetic, if you ask me. Anyone who truly knows me respects me for that. Rugged
