Jet...You are hysterical! And probably as correct as humanly possible in a hyperbolic kind of way...Bravo!

@Dragon:
<div class="quote">Im looking for a REAL man - one who doesnt lie, has manners and knows how to use them and is an all round human being - someone I can tolerate willingly for life.


Tolerate? Willingly? Girl, by the time you meet a nice guy you will be hoping he Tolerates You...Oh, my...

Gotta agree with P.A.T.C.H. on her initial assesment of it's how a guy reveals himself. Check how he deals with his ex. For heaven's sake, watch him with kids! Especially his and yours.

Nice guys are easy to spot. But that doesnt make them easy, or available to any lady that spots them as if they were the last pair of pants on the rack at a Wallmart Sale...lol. They have preferences as well. Usually pretty broadly defined, but preferences non the less. Remember, there must still be all that attraction and similarity stuff as well.

Edit Up: HPM. Won't judge you? Get real girl. Everyone judges. A Nice Guy will judge you fairly and impartially based on your words and deeds as you would him. The other guy you were talking about? He had a frontal lobotomy and his "unrealistic girl" is the day nurse that brings his meds....lol

Hi
I think that rome wasn't built in a day, and you can only really and truly find a nice guy by allowing time to see if he is really real. I truly believe that haste makes waste and there are some nice guys out there, they are just really hard to find.

Nice guys don't get "spotted" (i.e. at least, rarely "at first glance") - you have to look carefully.
You "recognise" us by our actions (which speak louder than words):
We abhor bullies, don't kick people when they're down, give a helping hand (not the back of one), don't say anything if we don't have anything nice to say, we're there when we're needed (and always have a shoulder for you to cry on), and can be found in all shapes and sizes.


Those who thus appreciate true valour should, in their daily intercourse, set gentleness first and aim to win the esteem of others. If you affect valour and act with violence, the world will in the end detest you and look upon you as wild beasts. Of this you should take heed.

If nice guys are what women really want, then why is it that most nice guys are single? Why is it that we constantly hear stories about women dating big jerks that took them for a ride --literally?

The fact is that women generally don't want nice guys, or maybe they're too busy chasing after jerks to realize that they do. Why? Because women act on impulse and emotion rather than fact. Who do you suppose brings out these same irrepressible emotions in women? The jerks, of course.

Contrary to what most women think, men are interested in successful relationships. Most men will never pass up the chance to date the woman of their dreams. In fact, when a man does encounter this rarity of a woman, his passion gets the better of him. The thoughts that race through his mind are something along the lines of, "This woman is a keeper. I'm going to treat her right and do all I can to make her happy."

The only problem with being the nice guy is that you also become the boring, predictable guy. The excitement of the seduction process begins to fade for the woman because she has what she wants and doesn't have to do any chasing. Eventually the woman starts losing interest and before you know it, her eyes start to wander.


In the end, she'll look for a new man who will bring excitement back into her life by being the "new and improved" challenge. Pursuit and excitement usually stem from selfish attitudes, much like the bad boy who doesn't care about anyone but himself. The nice guy will be left heartbroken and will start wondering what in the world he did wrong. It's at this point that men begin to realize that most women generally don't know what they want from us.


Amen to this. Amen amen amen. how to spot a nice guy?

1. He's the one who goes home alone at the end of the evening.

2. He's the one who is told that 'I'm not ready to date anyone right now' only to see the same woman with some guy a month or 2 later.

3. He's the one who has a multitude of female friends, all of whom tell him how great he is, but none of whom would even come close to dating him lmao

4. He's the one who is available for those late night phone calls when the jerk off she is dating hurts her.

5. He's the one that doesn't get emails responded to when he sees a profile he thinks is cool and actually READS it instead of typing, "hey baby, you are hot."

As for the door opening, gentleman behavior. I hate to burst your bubbles but if a guy is a really suave player, he knows how to do all this stuff. It's part of the allure. not to say that you ladies haven't met nice guys, but many times the player acts int he same manner.

A nice guy doesn't really expect anything in return for his actions. A simple thanks is enough.

Also...a nice guy is generally nice all the time...not just at the start :)

It takes time to get to know them...sometimes you can tell an a$$hole right away...but to truly tell if the guy is 'nice' you'll have to go out more than once.

How to spot a nice guy:
Since all of you ladies have those male friends that are the "nice guy, but I only want you as a friend". Take him out with your group of girls when you go out.
For some reason, we nice guys can tell pretty quickly what kind of a guy another guy is. I've seen my female friends meet guys at the bar and I can quite often tell how the night will go with the fellow.
I know the moves, the lines, the body language that guys will use and you can read it.
Now, there is a difference with nice guy and mommas boy, door mat kind. I'm a nice guy, generous, honest and quite often I end up the door man. I take 2 steps faster to beat an elderly person to the heavy door at the mall to hold it open for them. However, if you push me or anyone I care about, you will get it back. Not a doormat, I just do whats right.
Also, another way to spot a "nice guy" if you are out at a bar/club:
When I go out, its me, 10 girls and a 2 or 3 other guys. We're the nice guys with lots of female friends (well, 3 of the guys are dating the girls, but still). If a guy can obviously have a friendship with a large group of girls you can usually bet these guys are nice guys! But then, to approach them you have to get through his female friends lol. Mine are leary of girls around me due to the amount of evil girls I've met!

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

Before you can do any of those things... you have to actually give him a chance to meet you. That seems relatively rare.

The nice guy is the one who has made mistakes, haven't we all, apologises and makes amends .............. but more importantly learns from it.

The nice guy can be spotted in his bathroom masturbating. He is thinking about the girl he likes, who is out with the confident guy he wants to be.

Wrong.... "Nice Guys" exercise judgement... "Nice Women" exercise judgement... we all exercise judgment in one way or another. It's a basic human survival tool for so many things... not just dating and relationships and friendships. It's one of the things that make us different from animals. Animals mate out of instinct... we "mate" on the basis of so much more. If you're "Nice"... male or female... you're honest about it. Being "Nice" has never meant liking everyone and everything that one encounters.


1. He's the one who goes home alone at the end of the evening.

2. He's the one who is told that 'I'm not ready to date anyone right now' only to see the same woman with some guy a month or 2 later.

RIGHT ON!!

Bah Humbug........Nice guys ...man if a chic can't reconize someone with intelligence and etiquette and respect.............( as mentioned in this thread ) THan ya know what........................She needs to get some personal education , pick a book up, open your eyes.......


The best kinda man is plentyful and everywhere........

He is somewhere between Sickeining nice and total Azzhole..... He's a Son, brother, best friend and lover.......

he has balls enough to say No & stick to his word and thoughts, yet sweet enough to kiss you anywhere & bring you lil' surprises just because. He's tough enough and true enough to be realistic & keep his friends and not forget them because of you.... & he accepts ppl for who they are!

He accepts his friends and you for being themselves....just as the best woman will accept him for who he is.


P.S Define unrealistic Ladies?????? Please humor me

A nice guy takes her there rather than giving her directions.

If a woman asks me how to get to heaven... I'll do my best to take her there

vvvvv It's the woman's choice... I'm just the driver - lol

Mirage, how do you spot a nice guy versus the player if the players have learned how to play the game?

Easy. The player does the big things well. He opens the doors, takes a woman to the fancy restaurant, seduces you with charm and talks a big game.

The nice guy does the LITTLE things. He calls you instead of you having to call him. He is the one who will hold your hand or meet you for a coffee if you are down. The player will be there and then try something with you. When the player gets what he wants from a woman he disappears. the nice guy won't just disappear.

So look at the little things a man does. The little things that show true kindness. See how he treats kids and animals. Talk about serious things. Current events or emotional inner stuff and look for cliche's in the conversation. the player will have pre selected answers, the nice guy will show genuine compassion and emotion in his response.

I remember talking to one woman...
I'm pretty sure she told me her secret for spotting Nice Guys was the use of night-vision goggles and/or a sniper scope.
