Please define the term "Nice Guy"
Oxymoron's are everywhere, why I'm not sure, do we stereo type the personalities of man, and womens characters, it never pays nor should it ever be taken seriously, but we continue to play that game.
The nice guy, who is he, what is he all about? too open ended and impossible to figure out, if asked would I ever classify myself as a nice guy sorry not likely, would you has a potential female associate or more, take me serious enough to go further knowing I used the nice guy line, I would really be surprised if any new age female would swallow that rubbish, let alone be gullible to be attracted by it. Why is the question - should it be that hard to wonder, not really most women that I know, knew and the like have all voiced their fundamental long term want for the nice guy, but in the moments of need no such man would ever have gotten their interest, not even a remote chance, so you have to wonder why most men on meeting a good looking female would stray away from the nice guy routine, and take on the more edgy, UN-tamed and UN-ruling character of the bad boy, this by far is what most women are looking for in the beginning, for the basic reason of tamming the beast within him. Been there, gone through the ringer and come out the other end, now married with child, simple, down to earth, family man about town, obviously it must of worked, as does most cases - something happens on the way down the aisle star gazing into your honeys eyes, yes she has succeeded in ironing out the edgy creases, rode through all the BS within the first few years of adapting to you, now she's on easy street, well if your a step ford wife, living in pleasant ville - would be nice to think the phases play out that way, but we all know that dont always. Most of the time the nice guy routine comes out during the relationship as time passes and your relationship grows, so does your attention to details, taking each other more seriously and therefore hanging up your need to play the bad boy role, unless requested which can be nice. "Why the nice guy never gets the girl", I think they all do in the end, just not using that line, but instead using that mentality and ethic - trust me that approach to women will get you much more play then you wold ever thought, everyone wins when respect and Honor are introduced at the right times, just learn when and where to use them.
