So i have decided that being a nice guy has no benifit in the real world, being a yessir man at work doesnt help and being really nice to women has me permanatly stuck as friends it sucks
Don't give up. Sometimes it may not seem rewarding at all, but try to retain your moral integrity all the same. It's nice being able to sleep at night, you know.masterchevyman said:So i have decided that being a nice guy has no benifit in the real world, being a yessir man at work doesnt help and being really nice to women has me permanatly stuck as friends it sucks
There you have it, OP, all the advice you'll ever need to be happy with your life. Speaking strictly about your issue, though, it applies heavily. Not only does it make your more attractive (honesty with yourself tends to breed confidence, and confidence is attractive), but getting into a relationship based on a facade is never a good idea, because you're going to hit some very heavy chop when one or both of you gets tired of keeping up the charade of being someone completely different around their significant other. That whole "I'll pretend to be someone else, and then reveal myself when they finally love me so that they'll still accept me" thing isn't romantic, it's dishonest, and your significant other will feel betrayed and hurt that you not only lied to them, but didn't trust them enough to be vulnerable around them.GuideBot said:Cheesy advice: Just be honest with yourself.
Although he could kind of lean back of the agressivness a bit, I have to agree. There is a difference between being nice and being passive. I used to always finish last, until I became a bit more assertive. Not agressive, assertive. Straight forward more, but in a polite way.JanatUrlich said:That's just an excuse that people make for why they're not getting laid.
The fact is that most 'nice guys' are just too much of a pussy to ask girls out and push for what they want. That doesn't make you a nice guy, it makes you a coward.
