Yeah, I am a nice guy. I have learned throughout the years though that just being nice doesn't cut it. You can be frank and clear, say things that are on your mind and people around you will appreciate it. If you never do those things, people won't take you seriously once you're really annoyed. Also, allowing yourself to get mad sometimes really helps, and doesn't do as much damage as you might think. With some people it's even necessary.

Being honest with ourselves is a good step on the road to becoming a better person ^^

Don't get rid of the "niceguy" persona. You stick with it. Ladies love the dorky nice guy.
Indeed. Some of us really do.
Wouldn't you agree you're in a tiny minority though? I've certainly never seen it happening in rl.

I'm nice in a way of not being a assjack, but I'm blunt as shit with my thoughts on people and my jokes are harsh as hell.

Nice guys tend to actually be `Only nice cause they are trying to get into your pants but whining about being friend-zoned as soon as they realise that isnt happening` guys (we'll call them dickheads for short).
I'm not saying all nice guys are dickheads, but some definitely are.
And being nice is good, but being nice as in pretending you want to be just friends then trying to worm your way to boyfriend is just creeptastic. Be nice, but be upfront, let them know you like them.

I'm good, but I'm not nice. explanation here [link href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoodIsNotNice"]Good is not Nice[/link]

Doing the right thing and having strong convictions doesn't mean you have to kiss everyone's ass. Because lets face it, the people who are offended most stuff are generally the kind of people who deserve to go around feeling offended all the time.

Also important link for current nice guys, read it and weep, and I mean that literally.

You already answered that question when you referenced the "nice guy" as "Someone who lets other people walk all over them in an attempt to please everyone".

Would you be genuinely interested in someone like that, or would you just feel pity?
I loved Felicia Day's character in "The Guild", does that count?

Honestly, not to be primitive and sexist, but guys generally view this as less of a problem regarding women. Not that women should be submissive in any way, but generally speaking, it's more socially acceptable in our society for a girl to not always stand up for herself.

Not saying it should be that way, but that's how things currently are.

Hey guys, just asked a lady friend out today, and I got the whole "You a really nice guy, but..." speech about "not wanting to ruin our friendship" and inevitably ended with "...but I still want to stay friends." [small](Except she's going to avoid me like the plague from now on, so it's not like we're really going to stay friends)[/small] Story of my life...

[/useless whining]

Anyway, is anyone else here a "nice guy" in other people's eyes? By "nice guy" I mean someone who tries to be courteous and polite to everyone, but comes off having no confidence or masculinity. Someone who has a lot of friends that are girls, but no girlfriend. Someone who when they like a girl, makes the mistake of becoming their close platonic friend because they're too timid to ask them out. Someone who lets other people walk all over them in an attempt to please everyone. Ect, ect...

[small](In some circles, this is also known as being a "huge, spineless pussy".)[/small]

I've been trying to get rid of the "nice guy" persona for some time now and be more confident and assertive, but I keep falling back into old habits. Does anyone else have this problem? And to the .01% of this site that are women, what exactly is bad or unattractive about "nice guys" anyway?

Oh, and sorry if this topic's been done to death. I couldn't find anything on the search bar, but I have a feeling it's been done before.
Happened to me before, got the exact same thing "too nice a guy, just want to be friends" etc. But you know what, if that's not what they want then that's not what they want & later they might find out differently.
That's my outlook on it.
P.s. Yes, I do also hate it when they use this line though.

Whatever you do, do NOT listen to PUAs (Pick Up Artists), there schtic about beta and alpha males may seem like it applies to you, but do not listen to those douchebags.

Without wanting to sound harsh, maybe it isn't that girls don't like "nice-guys" but maybe it's something about you that isn't so "nice". I'm almost 100% sure that most girls don't actually like assholes, and I suspect most would want their boy/girlfriends to be nice.

Edit: or on the other side of the spectrum (or possibly equally as harsh) maybe the girl is just letting you down easy by saying you're too nice?

I'm a nice guy, not a "nice guy" mind you but a guy who is nice. I have absolutely no problem telling people to fuck off and the like. But if they are my friends then I am nice to them. My suggestion, while being nice make it clear that you are interested in her, give her a daring smile or a wink or something.

Nope, I'm not a "nice guy". ;)

As for what women find attractive in men, well I don't find anything attractive in men.

Yay me for being super helpful!

Pretty much me. Except I've finally got a girlfriend. (20 and about time)

I'm a nice guy when I am single. However when I am in a relationship I am kinda sarcastic (but only in the joking way)

It's nice to know that the old stereotype of girls liking jerks is FINALLY going away.
It will never go away I'm afraid. I should probably make a thread about more than half of the guys I liked who went to slutty, more attractive girls rather than me but I have a lovely boyfriend now so I'm not butthurt. [sub]That sounded kinkier that it should e_e[/sub]If I can find love, anyone can.

And to the .01% of this site that are women, what exactly is bad or unattractive about "nice guys" anyway?
I hope that 0.1% was um... what's the opposite of hyperbole? Whatever it is, I hope it was that.
There's nothing unattractive about nice guys, but just because you're a nice guy doesn't mean we're going to be attracted to you. There's a bit more to liking a guy than that, although it does help a lot.
We (read: me :p) like a bit of backbone for a partner, a man that'd stand up to us and for us if they had to.
It makes sense in my head!
