So wait, does being a dick increase the chance of a relationship?
see, that's the thing. you aren't going to know what sort of person they're after until after you've met them, so trying to act one way thinking that's what they'll like is stupid cus you may well be wrong and then you've blown it.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

I also don't get why guys think girls want to be coddled like royalty. Holding open every door and pulling out every chair, that same guy would probably lay yourself down over a puddle so she wouldn't get her feet wet. It makes you look desperate as hell, and those are the same guys that probably smother the hell out of a girl when they do happen to get one.
To be honest, I like having doors held open for me and chairs pulled out for me, because I grew up in a culture where it was expected that people would do that. There's nothing inherently wrong with being nice, that's not the point at all - the point is that you can't go "hey, I'm nice, why won't you date me?" as though that's literally all you have to do in order to get a partner.
Wait, am I supposed to only hold doors open for women? I don't want to be, like, -blam!- sexist.

If you have some free time and don't mind, please check out my Youtube channel, and maybe subscribe? I'd appreciate it.

People don't not get girls because they're nice. You don't get the girls because you have no damn back bone. You don't make a move, or any advances.

Sooner 'nice guys' realize this, the better.

"If practice makes perfect" and 'nobody's perfect,' then what's the point of practice?"

I'm a wife beater. I'm more successful than a nice guy.

You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

It's a real thing. In fact I was probably that "Nice Guy" once as a socially-awkward 13 year old. I've grown up and gained confidence since then thankfully.

However I still resent the 'alpha-male' rhetoric. Many people insist they're "alpha" as an excuse to belittle others and feel superior over them (but not always). In the end it's just another form of insecurity, but expressed in a different way.

Everyone should be nice, but that's just the bare minimum. I don't care if you're alpha, beta, gamma, or whatever Greek letter you can pull out your hole. Be confident, but don't be a douche.

Being alpha can seem like being a dick to others but they should see it as an obstacle to overcome. Anybody who can see the world for what it really is and still have fun and make a good living while making friends is the real alpha.

Survival of the fittest right? People are just too blind to see reality.

I'm nice because I fear confrontation. I don't feel it's worth 'fighting back'.

Also I had a girl that said "Im to nice" what does that mean?


Letting herself talk to ugly people or losers and having to deal with being nice to them out of pity.
Nooo that I am to nice not her.

Being a "nice guy" is the equivalent of the really overweight girls who say they "have a big heart".

^This made me lol.

Except the girl is probably telling the truth. If she's obese her heart is probably dangerously enlarged.
God... Damn you...

Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

I'm nice. But I don't count on it to get me tang.

I don't know. I've seen a lot of bitter and just plain mean overweight girls. They pick on people, insult them and so on.

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.

You can hold them open for whoever you like, love. I'm not the boss of you.

Being a "nice guy" doesn't mean anything. That's like the very bottom baseline for a guy.

Good job, you're a nice guy...if that's all you have going for you then you're in for a rough one.

EXACTLY. That's exactly it.

I read this great Cracked article today about this, where the gist was basically "oh, so you're a good listener? Congratulations, that guy's a good listener who plays the guitar." Gotta have other things going for you as well.

It's funny, because self-professed "nice guys" are quite often some of the most misogynistic, self-absorbed -blam!-s you'll meet.

  • 12.20.2012 6:34 PM PDT

I'm your biggest fan!

I haven't met too many "nice guys," but it's easy to understand where they're coming from. They have low self esteem and need something to feel good about. We all do.

  • 12.20.2012 6:38 PM PDT

I am assuming direct control.

What I find that works for me is just being yourself. Why bother trying to hook up with a girl if you can't manage to share interests. Be funny, be a bit spontaneous, and most of all be a character. Girls like the guys that stand out and are unique.

Besides, nice guys are usually just afraid to go out and risk something. Ironically, nice guys are always the ones who post on the flood how they're tired of the girl in question and about how they will have sweet revenge against them. That's not very nice.

Can't say I'm a fan.

I mean, my boyfriend is nice, but that's hardly the best thing about him. Probably not even in the top five, to be honest.
