Why Self-Proclaimed Nice Guys Never Win

I should probably post a disclaimer that I'm obviously only referring as to why they never win with me and that I'm not a Voice For The People speaking on behalf of all women everywhere. Just to make it extra clear, in case it wasn't crystal to begin with.




The easiest way for me to write you off - as a person, and a "romantic interest" - is to refer to yourself as a nice guy. Why are you telling me you're a nice guy? Why is that something that you feel you need to tell me? That one choice in and of itself, makes you suspicious to me.


You shouldn't have to tell me you're a nice guy.


You're nice? You're a gentleman? You're gonna treat me right, hope the best for me, wish me the best of times? Fine, great, awesome. So use your actions to clue me in to how much of a gentleman you are. Use your actions to portray that you're nice, that you care about my happiness. People aren't lying when they say actions speak louder than words. They're not saying it just to say something. They really, really do.

To be up front with you, the minute you tell me "Hey, I'm a nice guy. I'm not like that, I'm well mannered." I lose it. I, at that point, am on the verge of ripping you a new one for how stupid you sound.


Because you know what I hear when a guy says "I'm a nice guy" ? I hear: "I'm entitled to your attention and affection because I'm nice." and "I shouldn't have to work for your affection because I'm nice." Let's not forget the "You should love me and be thankful for me because I'm nice."


Let's expand on what the majority of these fellas (not all, to clarify) think is being nice: basic. human. kindness.

Oh, so you don't like nice guys. Have fun being treated like shit by assholes, then.



Because every guy who isn't you is automatically labeled an asshole in your eyes. Every guy I have an interest in that doesn't compare exactly to how you are, is an asshole. Never mind that he shows me that he's nice and cares about me instead of having to tell me he's nice.


It's a constantly recurring theme. If person A is interested in person B, but person B is interested in person C, then person A toxically comes to the conclusion that person C is an asshole / bitch, and not going to treat person B correctly or to the standards that person A believes they will treat person B.


That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!


In short: stop saying you're a nice guy and start showing girls that you're nice. It's going to get you a lot farther than "Hi, I'm Billy, I'm a nice guy."
