Nice guys finish last

Hey guys.
Soo, since I'm a social retard / notorious introvert, this website has kinda become my go to place for anything I can't tell my friends or family about.

And I wanted to ask.. Is it even possible for this "nice guy" to find someone where he gets a say.
It feels like I always end up with girls who like me, or "settled" for me..
I guess I've never had a say in the matter of who I date.

Is it normal to feel like a loser, for being the nice guy?

Thanks for reading!

    Don't confuse niceness with the inability to be forward. There's no convention on interaction with the opposite sex. You can say what you mean and what you want, and it's perfectly fine. Often times people who say they are a "nice" guy are really a shy, quiet, and/or reserved guy. Extroversion is a superior solution than not being nice, and is more important to the initial stages of the enterprise that you seem to have trouble with. Niceness will ultimately help you keep her in the long term, after the extroversion aids in the courting phase. Don't worry about what to say, just get in front of any girl you can and say something, anything (that's not totally off the wall) and you'll be fine.

    Here's the thing bud, person who is nice =/= loser. Person who is nice = a nice person. If you want to make yourself more attractive, then do so. Hit the gym, make an effort to talk to people and improve your social skills, get a job/go to school if you're not doing that already. You've gotta put yourself out there, bud. All we can give you on this site are typed words.

      Thanks for being so straight forward.
      Its true that all you can give are words, but words inspire action dont they :)

      I study and have a great time of it, but being an introvert, social interaction is exhausting to me, so being the lovable talkative type, while can be that, I can't for extended periods.

      Also I do jog ;)

    I don't think it's a case of nice guys being undervalued so much as quiet, unconfident guys allowing themselves to be invisible. Most heterosexual women think of kindness as one positive trait in a man, but it shouldn't be at the expense of a rewarding personality in a broader sense. It's one thing to have niceness in your heart, but you need to have the confidence and the social intelligence to actually *be nice*.

    If you don't feel like you have control of the people you date, get into the habit of politely rejecting people. That requires confidence, but how else are you going to control who you end up in a relationship with?

      Thats a good point, but it just sort of turns into a shouting match between alpha-males and I don't really see myself as a model human being as most confident alpha-males do.

        Seems you and those other fellas got this shit sorted so you don't need any more help. However I reserve the right to annoy you in either case.

    Nice guys do finish last (in bed), and that's why we love them!

    I think it's a matter of meeting the right woman. While, it is true there are plenty of women who go for the assholes and this has stomped some of the nice out of guys that would otherwise be peaches, there ARE women who do go for the sweet ones.

    I might not be part of the majority, but I grew up with some great male role models. My dad and my brothers are all "nice guys." Sooo- i have an aversion to the bad boy types, and In my opinion, nice is SEXY!

      Hahah, thanks countess :)
      But while its frustrating I can see why most women go for the "not nice" guys.
      The simply have a stronger and more imposing personality than an shy guy :/
      I can't stand in the middle of a group and proclaim that I am god's gift to humanity, but those who do that "douches" they just get all the attention..

    I don't understand your point. You have had girlfriends, sex with these gf's, but you've never had the ability to say no? Why would you want to? They like you, but you don't like them? I don't get it.
    If you want some super model, then unless you are very, very lucky (read here; good looking, rich AND charismatic), you are most likely not going to get one.
    But there are girls who will go out with you, right? What's the problem?
