Girls love to say that they want a nice guy but when a nice guy comes into their life, they get bored with the guy and gravitate back to jerks again because it feels exciting. I'm a nice guy and I know from experience. I've been married for quite some time now though and proud to say that not all nice guys finish last. If there are girls looking for nice guys, there are plenty out there.

Agreed, I do believe that women thrive on relationship drama. I blame Disney movies.

Sorry Curtis, but you're missing it. Women don't want nice boys, they want nice men.

They aren't looking for a little guy who's going to do everything they ask for, dote on her constantly, and try to manipulate her through being nice. A woman wants a man who challenges her, encourages her, and has his own life outside of her. She wants a guy who has a job, a place to live outside of his parents, and is going somewhere with his life.

That guy doesn't have to be a jerk, he just needs to be strong and going somewhere. There are lots of men like that - but there are not guys like that.

You're delusional...women have no clue what they wan't, not that it matters...

And they don't "think" with their heads but with their uterus which is bound to make stupid decisions...

Are you joking? I get way more women when I treat them like *beep* than when I'm nice. You have to watch out being a nice guy because women will walk all over you. They get knocked up by the jerks and will try to marry the nice guys when they're all used up.I've seen plenty of women with kids and baggage that want to go on now about how they want good guys who want long term relationships.

@ AtheistRevolution,I've been saying this for years! They get knocked up a looser, but want the "lame" guy to marry and take care of the looser's kids. Same old story........

There's some truth to this. I've seen plenty of nice guys, some very good looking with good careers passed over for the *beep* Talk to women about this. Nice seems to suggest boring I think to many women.

so true that women are impossible to figure out when they choose their mates (or in fact otherwise!). They would go for the very ordinary looking jerk. I think they derive a sense of security from it knowing that the poor thing wouldn't dump them.

"It seems it is you that is taking what I said personally."

No since YOU'RE the one who called the previous posters A-holes, YOU are the one 'taking things personally'.

"Project much?"

Ah. The SAME person who made the automatic assumption that the other posters are jerks because certain women keep coming on to them when they act dick-ish is accusing OTHER PEOPLE of projecting. You basically accused the others of mounting an ad hominem attack when clearly the only one here mounting such an attack is you. The hypocrisy is outstanding.

Its not like that. I've tried being nice but women will just dismiss you. But if I'm *beep* they line up.

My comments were mainly for Stormstrike because he was saying horrible and ridiculous things and it seemed that others were jumping on the bandwagon, including you. I don't like generalities. Not all women want bad boys who treat them like sh*t. I have never sought out a man like that nor have I been knocked up by one. I just thought that some of the men in this section were going a little too far. I hope you will hold on to at least a small part of you that is nice. Anyone who dismisses you for being nice is also a jerk, male or female.

There are a lot of 'nice guys', but a good percentage of them have flaws that make them unattractive to women under 30 (mainly). They aren't good looking/tall/rich/cool enough for women who the center of guys' attention.

Despite the reality that most of that attention is usually out of short-term sexual interest, women think they are special enough that they'll be the one to get the hot/tall/rich/cool guy that every other women wants.

After that fails and either they figure out finally that guys are mainly interested in casual sex or that due to their failing looks the attention drops off they then start looking for 'nice guys'.

By this time the 'nice guys' who are successful are now looking for younger women, not women who have tons of baggage and losing their looks. What's left for women over 30 are older (desperate) men and 'nice guys' who aren't very successful.

This is painting with a very broad brush but I think this covers much of the problem between the sexes, at least what I see in America. Obviously there are many exceptions so don't get the idea that I think all women are terrible. In fact, I don't blame them for trying to get the best partner they can - their biggest failing in my opinion is in recognizing the character of the person they want to be with.

@cstu11

Yeah, you are painting with an extremely broad AND generalized brush---hell,you make it sound like women over 30 are old and decrepit and should just hang it up. Only someone under 25 would believe that BS. Sorry, but life for a woman dosen't end when she hits 30 (which is still pretty damn young for anybody,anyway) or even 40,for that matter. And,yeah, you have women who like bad boys over nice guys, but I think that tends to be younger women who have that mindset. On the flip side, you also have men who will go with the "bad girls" as they're called, and totally ignore/pass up the nice girls because they're supposedly "boring". Then after they let the wild chicks use them up and wear them the hell out, they want to get with those same nice girls they passed up, and dump all the baggage they gathered from their past drama onto the nice girls, who've moved on. So it goes both ways.

I think some women are taught that bad boys, or guys that act tough and macho all the time, are "real men"---especially women with low self-esteem who grew up in abusive homes,and think that being treated like s*** by a man is normal. And believe me, not every woman wants to be with an a**hole. I know that from experience---an a**hole isn't even worth being with, and definitely sure as hell not for the long run. That may seem glamorous and fun when you're younger, but when you get older, you get tired of all the drama and bull**** that comes fom dealing with bad boys/a**holes, anyway.
