Enough with this nice guy stuff

There are a lot of men on the internet who complain they were rejected for being nice and they carry their baggage to forums like this when discussing Forrest and Jenny.

I guess what I don't understand is why they don't just move on to women who actually do want them . The burden is on them. Either become the man that the hot girl out of your league wants, or lower your standards.

I notice most men who are bitter for getting rejected for being nice, were chasing a woman ten times better looking than they were, and these men had personality issues etc.... If you aren't making a lot of money then hot women don't want you just because you are nice,
especially if you aren't attractive.

I am not saying this is fair or smart on the woman's part, but I am tired of this victim mentality whether it comes from women or men. Take charge of your life instead of holding a grudge against the opposite sex just because the women YOU think you are entitled to don't like you back . Grow up. Move on. It is YOUR fault for allowing it to control your life and that you are single.

And before I get insulted, yes I am married now, but was once in the dating game myself.

I was once head over heels with a Jenny type, except she was from a pretty stable family. Couldn't understand why she always was nice and courteous with me and could carry on conversations about non-personal stuff, but aloof or indifferent most of the time. She had past issues with drugs that I was aware of, then after supposedly straightening out, arrested at least 6 times in an 8 year period, per mugshots. I'm glad she kept a distance with me, because she knew a guy like me didn't need to be involved with a mess like her! And when her teenage son that she lost custody of as a child died in a car wreck last year, no mention was made of her in his obituary!

So yes, move on with your life! Problem is it's when your body and appearance take a downslide is when you have it figured out, not in your 20's!

Bottom line is the average woman (and especially young girl) would rather have a confident, alpha-male meathead with average looks than a handsome, gentle-natured, introspective, intelligent guy that's full of worry and self-doubt

I deleted my post to mean 'people will do or think that they want, as long as it's legal'.

It's not about being nice, mean, rich or poor. It's about style and having fun. It's about being mysterious yet outgoing on the surface, but sensitive in a one-on-one conversation. A walking contradiction.

To all the nice guys: Those hot women that rejected you today, will want you when they're older after they've realized that money, looks and being hip aren't important for the long run. But you won't want them anymore because they're old, and then you'll realize that you only wanted them for their looks, not their personality.

And the world keeps spinning.
