Just draw it. Like I am not going to hang upside down and let someone shoot me. Take a stand on morals. Like choose if you want sex, drink, buy endless amount of crap, enable her or not. You have morals or don't. I know there always seem to be exceptions to rules, but make rules.

Doing something for someone else because they ask is being a nice guy. Doing something, when a girl does one of those sly smiles, batts her eyelashes, and says your name in an (i like to call sliveryslimy voice, but most others call it )adorable voice, and expects you to do it - that's wrong, and oh so very push over. Don't do it unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. And definitely not for sex, or a date. If she does that you will be broke, and she will dump you because you are a push over with no money.

Honestly I would draw the line when a guy does every single thing I ask him to. Sometimes I want a guy to argue and say no. Instead of saying yes all the time. Because you don't feel like your in a relationship, instead you feel like your bossing your brother around.

A nice guy would you know open doors,pulls out chairs,and respect the girls mom and dad
most girls like nice guys with a little bit of a bad side to him

but a push over acts like he has no mind of his own and dose what ever the girl wants him to do push overs also never do thing you don't want them to and they let people push them around and most girls like guys who take over when thing go wrong and even when things are going smooth
so tip to most guys girls don't like push overs unless they are control freaks

A pushover would never do anything without my permission, never show initiative and would probably be rather un-spontaneous. Pushover guys act more like servants than equals. A nice guy is polite and helpful, but also takes the lead part of the time. I don't mind giving him the reins once in a while, but he has to be willing to take them. A pushover would come across as very insecure and unsure of himself while a nice guy would be confident without being controlling.

A nice guy is someone who would hold the door open and be respectful.

A pushover is someone who would jump at every command I made and do things that he didn't want to do just because I wanted to do those things.

Personally, I don't want a pushover.

Nice guy is very gentleman, family friendly, respectful, and trustworthy!

Push over is when they try to take an advantage of you, control you, and doesn't respect the things you like.

archer86 That is not a pushover. That is just a plain jerk. - 9 months ago
LessthanLisa A pushover is about the exact opposite of that. A pushover is someone who typically allows themselves to get taken advantage of. - 9 months ago

A nice guy is someone that is respectful and supportive. One that is there for his family, friends, and girl in his life through anything, doing what he can to help. A nice guy is nice to people that he knows will appreciate his efforts and lend him a hand when the time comes. He doesn't allow his kindness to be mistaken for weakness.

A push over is a nice guy that doesn't value himself. He bends over backwards and goes through hell and high water for people, and either doesn't care or realize that his efforts are not being appreciated and allows people to walk all over him. Even with his face in the dirt, he still continues to try to please these people. It's very sad that people take advantage of kindness like that.

Nice guy:
Opens the door, pulls out your chair, talks to you when you need someone to talk to, stays back with you if you stay back and everyone else leaves, asks how your day is, gives off that protective vibe

Push over:
calls/texts daily, always compliments you, asks a lot of questions, bad mouths an ex DAILY (once or twice is probably something a nice guy would do, but always saying it and bringing it up when its not even being talked about isn't good), wants to hang out with you 24/7, asks who you're with

Confused614 How is a push over some1 who calls daily? and what wrong with always complimenting her? - 9 months ago
LessthanLisa That's not a push over at all, that's someone who's controlling. A pushover wouldn't mind if you hung out with other guys because, hey, he's a pushover, he's okay with everything you want to do. - 9 months ago
Answerer If he calls daily then he is because he's trying to always be in your life all the time and will do anything for you. Yeah it is more controlling, but if you think about it. A pushover is annoying and someone who calls all the time is annoying because it shows that they need you every second, which is what a pushover tends to be like. - 9 months ago
LessthanLisa But there is a difference between being a pushover and being controlling, in fact a pushover is the exact opposite of someone who is controlling. A pushover allows you to control them, and I really don't think a pushover would be badmouthing your ex, a pushover is someone who is generally weak and insecure but generally they're not assholes. - 9 months ago
Answerer Yeah there is a difference, but a pushover is obsessive just like a controlling person. I don't see how anyone would be a pushover and not be obsessed with the person. - 9 months ago
Confused614 Very true but back on point there's nothing wrong with calling your girl 1 or 2 times a day at all - 8 months ago
tex151 That's not a push over. A push over is basically a doormat for women to walk all over, they say jump and he says how high, he never calls them out on there little mind games, he has no control because he has no clue on how to get control back. He is a servant to women, they call him only to ask for requests like can he drive them to her friends house because she's to lazy to drive herself. They treat him like dirt and he takes it. That is a push over. - 8 months ago

Nice guy:
Polite, cares about a woman as a person and not just a piece of ass(excluding sex-flings). Never starts a fight, only finishes one if he must. Rarely curses and is courteous to those who deserve it. Even tempered and thoughtful of the situation. Works hard and plays hard. Not a jerk to half of the people who really are jerks and considers what others think. Eager to have his way yet spends equal effort to do what SHE wants equally.

Pushover:
A wimp who obeys a woman's EVERY command. Easy to manipulate and never stands his ground on his decisions or someone else's crap. Avoids any sort of conflict even though it will ruin him in the long run. Can be tied around a woman's finger for anything she wants. Anything.

Good question this is.

Do women like gender bias when it works in their favor?

Yes, treat us equal in every way, even if it causes us problems

No, we should get equality when we want it, but preferential treatment other times.
