I certainly know how to spot a "not so nice guy"--if in the first 10 seconds of your conversation he is more interested in the size of your breasts than he is who you are as a person. I'm sick of being grilled about sexual preferences as though I were applying for a job in a porno movie. Very tacky and lacks class.

a nice guy can turn into mr. jerkyl and hyde too. if he treats you like real gold and won't take you for granted... and see how he treats his mother too.

It has been my experience that how somebody treats their parents bears little resemblance to how they treat you.

Case in point - ex girl friend hated her parents - yet she was very loving to me.

Case in point 2 - a friend's ex girlfriend treated my buddy like dirt - but was loving to her parents.

Maybe the parents are just plain evil/crazy/whatever....

sheila: yeah that isn't the best way to start a conversation. I try to get to know the person for who they are first. Many other things to talk about besides sex!

It's ok to flirt to show your interest but there is a time and place for that to be appropriate.

Spotting nice guys is easy. Go to any hospital and get to the maternity ward. Spot all the newborn baby boys in the nursery. There ya go. Nice guys, all of them!!!

hahahahahaha

Good one Dante.

Nice guys they may be, but isn't that taking the "robbing the cradle" scenario a little too literally????

no criteria. its someone that makes you proud to be around. they are themself. for me that is expressive, calm, polite, kind and funny. for someone else, it means something else. Everyone is perfect, they just haven't found their perfect partner yet. Let's keep looking?

Hmmmm... how to spot a nice guy...

I'm pretty sure they're the ones with shoe prints on their backs and chips on their shoulders... and a posting history of starting the Why Doesn't Anyone Like Me? threads...

Am I close?

You forgot the knives in the back but I disagree on the thread posting stuff.

a few traits I know of are:

he pulls out the chair for you
he calls when he says he is going to call
he looks in your eyes when speaking to you
he truly listens
he apologizes when he has been wrong
he is a gentleman

I know the saying "nice guys finish last"
^^ that is so very true^^

"mirage9"
I use those traits and more all the time because thats how I am, since learning how some to most are on this site, its all about looks!!!!!!!!! If a person dosen't have looks their passed by.

If a person dosen't have looks their passed by.

Realistically, who cares? Some people do base their attraction with the physical aspect being a priority. Others widen their criteria, not limiting it to looks.

Given the divorce rate hovering at 60%, I can't help but think some of those ex spouses may have qualified as "Nice guys". The end result is the same. Spotting the nice guy still leaves you with a meagre 40% chance of success.... according to the divorce rate.

I know of a guy I think is a great guy and a nice guy - and he's good looking. He treated his wife very well and she was very happy. Throughout his marriage he cheated on her many times (dozens of times) and she had no idea. They are recently divorced and she is rather upset and hurt.

Ya see, nice guys can be sluts too.

Why not seek an honest guy - that's a task in itself!!!

I so totally agree My I. I was on this site 3 years ago and met such a wonderful "nice" guy..fell in love and lived together for over 2 years.Then I found out that he was seeing another woman for almost a year on here through intimate encounters. Honesty is a very very rare commodity in today's world it seems and something to be treasured if you are so lucky to find it.

MyI , I have to agree with the HONESTY part in a relationship. While in a 17 year marriage I never cheated because my marriage it was great, However a few of her co-workers would make advances, which I would openly turn it down due to being involved.
Honesty starts with oneself if you cant be honest from within to begin with, it will only be a matter of time before the person whom a person is involved in will see the true colours of their partner.
Beside dishonest has a way of biting a person in the rear one way or another.

BTW MyI ( realistically "who cares") most do and few don't.

I very much agree with what kobestar has listed (msg:12).

About the "I'm a nice guy" approach...
I do suspect that the many of both genders will want to give the impression that they themselves are nice when they're actually not and as some really imagine themselves to be... in otherwords... such an self proclaim is unfortunately... near meaningless.

With facebook...
What I feel is the most convincing is to know a multitude of people, especially of the opposite gender, testify that you're a truly nice person which is one of the reasons why I'm so glad to be a facebook member, but also realized a few might find it quite difficult to figure out how anybody can have an excellent reputation with the general public. Having to somewhat muster the courage to always respectfully introduce myself to everybody... I also found that several of the ladies who were quick to misjudge now think of me as a great friends because they later on discover we have several friends in common. Anyhow, I figure all any woman has to do is to check if we have the same friends in common then ask them about me... why there isn't a testimonial type application for this is beyond me.

So why am I still available although there's somebody else I'm with?
Not feeling this world is currently worthy enough to have any children of my own, the lovely lady in question intends to have at least one before reaching anywhere close to 40... so we're just in practice until either of us can move onward.
