Is it normal to be annoyed by those "nice guys"?

ok, if girls are not into them, then they are shallow?

they seem to think this world is divided by two groups of people. the very attractive and the plain joes.
they claim personality is important while most of them have really bland personalities and self-esteem issues.

Not all women like bad boys. I think I like a man who can kind of stand out. Those who are on the attractive side tend to have this charm they are giving off to people. It's not so much about their looks anymore.However I've seen some people, they are what I would call "maybe a little bit attractive", but I find them cute. they have those perks in the ways they move and their personality that make them stand out, that attract girls to them (such as good humor, a style that really complements them,etc.)However, those self-proclaimed "nice guys" usually don't have anything. They think as long as they are "pretty inside ” they are fine while they are just plain inside. Sexual appeal and manliness is not only visual.

  • I don't have a problem with females wanting assholes and avoiding the nice guys, I have a problem with them going for those people, then being treated badly by them, then they say all males are assholes, then claims that she tries to find the "good guys" when she rejected many of them to be with a douchebag.

    I have no problem with them going for douchebags, just don't think you're fooling anyone when you come up with the "I want a good guy" line when your history betrays your words.

      granted, some women are like that, but a lot of women want someone exciting (or at least moderately interesting) while being a nice person (but not boring). you can be a genuinely nice (as in kindhearted) person and still not be completely boring.

        and some girls that want someone exciting choose some silly cookie cutter boy with the polo shirt and anti-mullett. they usually have a grateful dead sticker on their jeep for some reason. and a wallet full of daddy's cash.

          my partner is one. he's generally wonderful, but we DO get into arguments because we're both so damned stubborn. i like that about him - the fact that we can have arguments and disagreements without resorting to intentionally hurting each other. we both stand our ground when we think we're right and feel passionately about the subject, but we're still respectful of each others' feelings, and will not name call, or try to be disrespectful.

          most of my friends, for example. they're usually gothy/artsy/punky/freaky types, but i'm friends with some "normal" guys too. they stand out physically (as in have their own individual style (to some degree)), and are opinionated, intelligent and funny. they may swear, or be sarcastic, or joke/converse/debate about things that aren't considered "polite" (politics, religion, offensive jokes, etc), but they're nice (as in kindhearted) people, and would go out of their way to help someone in need (many of them volunteer/do charity work/donate to charities), and all are at the very least considerate of other people (will hold the door for people - and not just women, will give someone directions, will buy a drink for a stranger at the bar if they just look like they could use one, let someone with fewer items go ahead of them in the checkout line, etc).

          I would say an example would just be someone who likes to go out, have fun, enjoys adventures, is not afraid to come out of his shell. When we say bad boys, we don't mean, a "bad guy" or so to say. We're not referring to a mean, asshole that doesn't know how to treat us right, but (and this is coming from my viewpoint) we are referring to someone that just isn't afraid to rebel against the rules of society. Someone with confidence, who knows adventure; a strong man, whose not afraid of the world, yet, he knows how to respect a woman. Shy guys typically don't show much confidence which, in turn, doesn't seem very protective to a woman. But a strong guy (or what someone may consider a "bad boy") seems safe, and brave. He's both kind hearted yet tough; mighty yet gentle. These are the kind of guys we are referring to. An asshole wouldn't fit into this catogory. I would say that a man who can't respect a woman is weak and, over all, a punk!

          • So basically "Mr.perfect". What would "Mr. Perfect" have to gain from someone wanting such a person?

            That type of person is very unlikely to come along, just like "Ms. Perfect" is unlikely to come around.

              I can agree on those terms. You're never going to find "Mr.Perect", but you're misinterpreting the guy I'm describing. He doesn't have to be perfect. Infact, I've known plenty of guys who fit the description. Now, I've not been with anyone because I don't like the idea of a relationship, but I've known lots of guys that, if I were interested in dating, I wouldn't mind dating.

    There's a difference between boring guys with no personality and nice guys. A nice guy is any guy who will treat you well; it has nothing to do with being boring.

    A guy who tells every girl they see that they're a "nice guy" probably isn't one (maybe he's trying to manipulate you), and anyone who defines themselves by a single personality trait, such as being "nice", probably IS boring. Being nice and being interesting are not mutually exclusive. The real nice guys are not the ones who will self-proclaim it, they are the guys who show it by their actions, and those guys are the sort that usually have their own personalities as well.

Atleast the freaky goth guy is creepy exciting and fun and doesnt cry becuase he broke his toe or becuase he has a tiny thorn in his foot . that is kindve pathetice I have to say .

      Wow...well, you demonstrated far more patience and kindness than I would have. I don't think religion has much to do with this situation; guys raised too sheltered will be immature, no matter what religion they are.

    I feel ya. I'm annoyed by girls who say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I mean only ugly girls say that, no? Everyone knows that physical beauty is what matters. So it's ok if girls want confident guys but then it's also ok if we want young hot chicks.

      sorry, but beauty standards vary greatly from culture to culture (and even between subcultures for that matter). everyone does not agree on what is beautiful. i don't consider most celebrity types beautiful (with a few exceptions), i think they're usually pretty boring and bland looking.

    I'm annoyed by the kind of guys who are too focused on being nice than just being themselves. It always feels like walking on eggshells, from both perspectives, one is afraid to offend the other and end up keeping their feelings and viewpoints inside. That, or the are genuinely an eternal optimist which is typically annoying compared to realism...

    Oh I see, so its either get with a nice guy or a bad boy who has good looks, or something like that?
    Hmm, keep searching. I'm positive you will find someone you are attracted to and is also nice on the inside AND stands out from the crowd.

    On the other side of this. Yes it true that the cool girls in school try to hang with the other good looking girls so they can all wear their skirts as high as they can and with caked on makeup and bleached hair dos. Oh and act like bitches all day!

    Guess what, most girls grow out of this when they realize only the boys that want to bash them are attracted to them.
    Just a little thing I've noticed over time.

    MOST guys want a nice girl, who is also attractive (to them). Strangest thing ever!

    I HATE "nice guys." I am NOT a nice girl, so I'm sick of being told that I should be with a "nice" guy. Why should I want to be with someone who I can't have an honest conversation with? Who I have nothing in common with, and who bores me to tears?

    So far I've dated nothing but nice guys, and I am FINISHED with them. Most of them don't have their shit together and can't function as adults. They're constantly holding fake smiles, and trying to impress you with fake "compliments" that insult your intelligence (if one more asshole tries to make me feel "special" by saying, "I can't believe I've met a girl who likes science fiction!" I will punch him in the fucking nose). Half the time, they're severely developmentally disabled, so I'd find myself flirting with a guy who has the mind of a little kid, and boy is THAT uncomfortable. And I am sick and tired of always having to be the man in the relationship. If you try to pick me up for a date with a sparkely blue prius, I'm not giong on the date. The end.

    Plus, a lot of guys use "niceness" to cover up hidden agendas. My first boyfriend is a great example. "Oh, I stayed away from that strip club because I'm just so mature and chaste! And I won't have sex with you, because I believe in waiting until marriage! Every *thinks* I'm gay, but I'm just not a man's man!" ...I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. Suffice to say, this ex-boyfriend is now my ex *girlfriend.*

    Fuck nice guys. If your personality is truly that super nice, then go date a super nice girl and leave normal girls alone.

    It's just in whatever make up is in a persons personality though really. Same stuff goes for girls to don't forget. You'd well might be anyway, amazed at how sookie some girls are. Cry over anything ,moan and groan, try anything, won't get their hands dirty or even walk of a path, or turn her nose up at. I love tough chicks and I'm always amazed of how what one girl will cry and sook over into oblivion , won't even faze another.
    It doesn't mean she's butch or rough , some of the most feminine girls around are just tough and go for it in nature. Love that.

    This comes from experience! My fiancé and sons father is NO GEM but he is drop dead gorgous and I get into arguements with girls at least once a year that try to take my place. Never works for him them ( he knows where he belongs). However I'm the type of girl that constantly says I look for a nice guy well guess what I have had them before, they are BORING and the biggest thing that turns me off TOO nice too often. I kinda feel like they are sucking up to me and just about every "nice guy" I have dated or beyond clingy! Yet they don't care what you do at all! They tell you you can do whatever and that worries me because then I'm like wait So you don't worry about me going to a bar with a bunch of friends when you know there's a bunch of guys there? Drunk guys? Idk I just don't like them I'm not saying that I want someone COMPLETLY controlling but I like someone who at least cares about where I'm going or what I'm doing. As well as someone who doesn't wanna hang in me every 2 seconds of the day.

    I can never understand women, first she falls for you because of your sense of humor, then she leaves you because everything is a joke to you.

    I think different women want different things, but one thing that those women got in common (at least in my opinion, I might be wrong) is that they want a MAN, not a male, they want a man who knows what to do with her.

    i completely understand what you're saying. just because you want a guy who isn't a complete woman-beating asshole, doesn't mean you want some dull-as-dirt guy with no thoughts or opinions of his own (SOME (not all) who tend to get all bent out of shape about the fact that women aren't throwing themselves at them, and don't get the fact that maybe dockers khakis or mom jeans aren't the best way to attract a woman).

    being "nice" as in a good person, doesn't mean you have to look, act, talk, walk, and think like everyone else. i have a lot of freaky but nice friends. they're funny, sarcastic, opinionated, goth or punk usually, and very decent people. the fringe sets tend to lend themselves to more of that, i find.
