exactly that. but in a lot of cases its just the right thing to be direct and honest, even if it sounds a little bit rough.ethaninja said: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.
Yes and no. I encourage you to be an asshole jerk for awhile and learn of the limitations there for yourself. They don't finish particularly high either. The best strategy is to be both, switching between one or the other as is advantageous.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
Approaching life like you're not working from a guide can help, too. You can end up doing things you don't understand, simply because you were told they work.Fearzone said:Yes and no.

Yes well, as a guy I'm supposed to give something to the one I love, sure. But that part you wrote there sounds very much like an average young girl's mindset, following the guys around like living proof of how successful he is. And she will be happy for all the gifts she gets.Zeithri said:The unwritten part of it all is that these so-called good guys are usually loosers by the very definition of it. They have nothing of value to give the girl, they only have needs.
It really doesn't. You can be nice and also flirt with someone. Girls actually really like it.masterchevyman said:...being really nice to women has me permanatly stuck as friends it sucks
Exactly this. And as Labrynth said earlier, the whole "Girls only like assholes" thing is nothing more than excuses and misogyny. But, some people would prefer to find excuses rather than address their own problems. This happens to men and women alike.VanityGirl said:Alright, I'm tired of these threads.
GIRLS DON'T LIKE ASSHOLES
For fuck SAKE! If I guy treats me like dirt or is an asshole, I won't date him. Are you guys seriously so dumb that you think people gravity towards assholes?
Allow me to set you straight. Girls like confidence. If you're a shy guy but consider yourself nice, you probably aren't attracting women because you're busy in your little shy world.
Seriously, if a less attractive guy came up to a girl, but with confidence, he would be more likely to score a date with a girl than an attractive yet shy guy.
If you see stupid girls with an asshole-ish guy, it's probably because he has confidence. Confidence is always a key to anything you do in life.
Stop with the "Girls only like assholes" stuff, it's stupid and just played out.
Be smart, confident and nice. I can guarantee you'll score a girl then.
This is easily one of the smartest things I've heard about this whole argument.Labyrinth said:I feel it important to add that I've noticed a trend amongst Nice Guys for catagorising humans into three groups. Jerks, Women, and Nice Guys. All women (or all women under 30) are to blame for his relationship woes because they go for the Jerks. Obviously they like being abused or something like that. This kind of core misogyny is a major factor in the Nice Guy's troubles. Treating females like we're people too is important for any kind of empathy.
