    Those guys usually have a shitload of bitter ness in them anyway.

    Me, I'm not instantly turned off if someone describes himself to me as a nice guy, but i'll be definitely looking out for signs of bitter ness (which means bye-bye), or lack of it (which means he might just genuinely be a decent person)

    Here is the thing. The "nice" guys who never win aren't these guys. They aren't the fakes, the guys trying to sell you nice in a bottle, they dont think nice is a key to sex. The nice guys who aren't winning are quietly in the background, being nice, being your best friend, being ignored. They are also happy. They have lots of friends, they are loved. They just aren't looked at by most girls.

    I liked that take - Makes a lot of sense - I suppose in general I am wary of labels and if a person starts labelling themselves early in a conversation, I see it as a red flag - It is all about the connection between the two individuals and I suppose you should let anything develop organically rather than one person try to force it by creating a persona for themselves that may turn out to be not be their true personality more what they think the other person expects.

    Lol. Love this MyTake and I hate it when that happens. It's as if a lot of these guys--who aren't truly nice at all--think women are OBLIGATED to get with them just because many women want "nice guys".

    Those are just assholes in disguise to me. Real nice guys don't act like that. :P

    I'll agree with you there actions do speak louder then words, since anyone can say they are nice or a gentleman and do nothing to actually back it up. But actions force you to live up to the words you say, and people falling for peoples smooth words is how a lot of people end up hurt.

    I think it's more of a shy or timid guys never win. There are guys who are genuinely nice people and never go on about how nice they are and still don't have much luck in the dating world. Their are "nice guys" who use it as a crutch but also do make a move on girls from time to time and from time to time a girl agrees.

    Mature women like self proclaimed nice guys. It is a myth that most self proclaimed nice guys are assholes. The girl I have been on a couple of dates with agrees with me. She is really mature for her age and likes nice guys. She is the same age as you. Apparently you won't understand since you are not mature yet, I remember when I asked on here if I looked manly, and you responded''You look like a nerd lol.'' Grow up.

    Now I can agree with the top half and the bottom half. People who say they are this and that give me a bad feeling since I know people who talk a lot tend to spill a lot of shit from their mouths, as you call "actions are louder than words".

    There are not even that many bad people aka assholes around, they just treat everyone in different ways and others don't know how to do it right

    Preach. Would you say something like that about yourself if it concerned something other than niceness?
    "I'm a talented guy"
    "I'm a handsome guy"
    "I'm a happy guy"
    "I'm a confident guy"
    "I'm a compassionate guy"
    Like no. Literally nobody feels the need to tell you that stuff within minutes of getting to know you. But "nice" guys always feel the need to verbally shove their "niceness" down everyone's throat ASAP. Because it's not like you'd realize it otherwise, right?

    Person A doesn't think person C is an asshole because person B likes person C. Person A thinks person C is an asshole because person C treats person A and person D through Z like shit.

    Try again.

    Here's the thing, When he says "Hey, I'm a nice guy" He is in fact working for your affection and attention. Usually I say that when I'm flirting like maybe beforehand I've probably just wound her up about something or I'll do it after. Or sometimes I'll say something like "Hey, I'm a nice guy... Mostly/Sometimes/When I feel like it"

      I think she's referring to guys who come on with a really strong approach. Especially those on dating sites who proclaimed that they know how to treat a woman right so you should go out with them.

    God damn, some guys actually tell a girl they're a nice guy?

    This is why when I become president of the world I'm getting rid of music appreciation class or whatever and replacing it with a "how to not be an idiot talking to girls" class

    Basically you just cam on here to run down men and post, sexist, misandric garbage. Just because some bloke pulled you up on something bad in your gender. It funny how women like to pull men up on things and expect them to change behaviour and yet women complain and moan and insult men when they pull women up on bad behaviour which has clearly happened here. You also have habit of denying your bad points in your gender or just using the generalization line.

    It's good to be a strong, confident, gregarious, ambitious, refined, charismatic person that is nice but can kick ass when necessary.

    "Nice guys" are weak and pathetic usually.

      You don't need to be strong and ambitious. Cool and mysterious works for some girls, charming and creative works for others, even passionate and temperamental (which can often be a dick).

      Just be something more than nice. Nice by itself is bland and boring and featureless. There's gotta be something to maintain interest.
