Do you think the whole " nice guys finish last " and " bad boys " stereotype has any truth to it?

[Rockstarrrrr]

Outside movies and pop culture... from your experience and observations... do you think it has any truth to it? is it real life? Is it that common? ever since I was a teen... I've seen so many guys... including some of my close friends.. Believing in it... And I kinda never bought it... From my point of view.. I'm a total nice guy.. it's actually the word most people use to describe me.. I'm also introverted and I can be very socially awkward... and I've never been short of getting female attention.. Actually they're the ones who approach / initiate all the time even though I make literally zero efforts... So I look at other guys and the guys I know and I think to myself... Why do they keep saying if you're a man with these traits you're gonna repel women... But also at the same time I've seen a good amount of girls who absolutely go for guys who are a douche, treat others badly, treat THEM badly, toxic ( not the good healthy amount but the annoying amount )... And I think to myself.. Okay I hear you.. That's a point in the other direction... So overall.. I'm not really sure lol... I think it's not really black or white like most people believe... It seems like women are so complicated to understand

nope not at all. the problem with "nice guys" is that they're either not nice at all & that's why they can't get a girlfriend or they're shy and not very open minded so they might not meet new people that often or be bad at social interactions. both things will diminish the chances to date someone.

the thing about what dudes call "bad boys" that girls like is the confidence. confidence is key

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yup many " nice guys " are not actually that nice... I remember someone who kept saying he was while he treaded his friends better than his girl lol... Yeah a lot of guys use it as scapegoat if they're not doing well with women for whatever reason... And confidence can be attractive on anyone.. Guys and girls

It’s 100% true. See if you can find any women who deny its truth while simultaneously denying that “nice girls finish last”. Ell oh ell! It seems like hypocrisy is everyone’s second language these days.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Hmmm... Girls do get over defensive about it sometimes and get quite pretentious... And " nice girls " are definitely not talked about enough

[slatyb]

There’s a difference between being nice and being passive. Genuinely nice men are attractive. Look up “mensch”.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes it holds up in irl cuz ‘nice guys’ are fake and will act nice and lie. At least bad guys are honest

[Rockstarrrrr]

I've definitely seen that a lot

[FilmGuy93]

Nah... But you can't go through life being too timid, or women will think you're a push over and they won't respect that.

There is definitely truth in it, but not as much as many people think.
