Count up another exception for me. Been one of those "nice guys" all my life. Didn't really make an effort to talk to women during my teenage/high school years, started trying in college. Got noticed by someone almost 7 years ago....been married 3 going on 4 years now. :D

In fact, my profile photo was actually taken on my wedding day, which is why I look so awesome. :P

FIFY.

"Romance" ain't got nothing to do with teen dating. Most guys that age approach dating like a sporting event with strategy and training, with victory being the ultimate goal. Most girls at that age look at dating like a fairy tale fantasy with their contribution to a relationship pretty much just standing there while prince charming sweeps them off their feet on his white horse to carry them off to a happily ever after.

Success at relationships has nothing to do with what everybody else is doing.

Some people never figure it out.

Where should I send the bill? :p
 
we are talking about the nice guy.. so he would NOT be doing as you just said.



where can i get my refund????

"Nice guys" aren't asexual and to a 15 to 25 year-old male, being within 20 feet of a female is a sexual experience. If you read back to how I met my wife, we barely had any interaction on the night I met her (Hey, isn't that the topic?) but when she would bump her knees into mine, it was definitely a sexual experience (FWIW, at the time I was 24 and she was 22.)

I have to admit, I was just as frustrated and lonely as you are, prior to meeting my then-future wife.

I even complained on internet forums about it, just as you have, some twelve years ago. :cool:

You might think that your luck won't turn around, but speaking from experience, it will. Most of it involves the majority of the pool of women you know maturing out of the bad boy infatuation.
 
Well, it seemed more like you were complaining about the unfair treatment of nice guys more than anything, and seemed a little adamant...

Maybe I read too much into it. :p
 
Bad guy turned good guy here. There just comes a point in time when you meet someone that makes you want to change. Which my old lady has.

As for how we met, we went to high school together, but never really interacted with one another until a few years later where we just so happened to be at the same bar on the same night. Everything happens for a reason? Maybe.
 
Ahhh screw this crazy ugly nasty bloody horrible GOOD FOR NOTHING loser KING PLANET!!!!!

Us boys don't like girls actually - because we just wanna KILL EVERYTHING

:-D

But they are fun occasionally to have around... ahh hehehehe!

>:-D

I refuse to be a nice guy ANY MORE

Everyone must pay!
 
dan330 and lunatic59 are both right, but I would say the truth is somewhere in between.

It's not a very good idea for a guy to fall in love too much and to be a conformist - a nice guy, who does everything for a girl, forgetting about some healthy egoism. If he acts this way, he throws a signal to her: "I worth nothing, because I don't value myself".

I think lunatic is not that kind of nice guy (as far as I see by his self description). He is nice, but nice with dignity and self respect.

Remember, love is based on wild nature. I am aware we people not animals, and this may seem a bit rude to compare us with animals, but some things are similar nonetheless. Unconsciously any female wants a guy who's character she would like to see in her children. She may hate a "bad guy", who is, er, successful among other women, she doesn't understand why women love him and she doesn't care, but she wants her kid to be successful too, so that here genes could have better chances to survive. She may like how "conformist nice guy" behaves, because he is nice to her, but since this guy doesn't love himself, she wouldn't want her children to inherit this character, because in this case here genes have less chance to survive in future. So you see, it's conflict of comfort of individual and survival of genes.

Which means, the best choice is to be a nice guy with dignity (80% nice guy, 20% bad guy mix). If you can't do that - you should be a selfish arse, like dan330 describes - well, at least you are capable to break someone's heart. The worst is to be a conformist - a spineless good guy.
 
dunno whether i'm a good guy or a bad guy you'll have to ask my wife... but met my good lady wife online on a social network called tagged started talking about our shared love of music an the rest as they say is history..
 
wait wait wiat... I never said to be a selfish arse

only be a little arse.. little macho... confident.. still nice and respectful. but don't let her get her way EVERY time. there is the a balance and the trick is to know where that is.
 
Ours was an AT romance (Annual Training) as we were both in the Army Reserve. We had just met right before we both left for Fort Hood Texas. I flew and he drove so being he was one of the few there with a car, I hung out with him. Love at first dance (no not sight but I'm always different). We got married on April Fools Day (very appropriate) and last week celebrated 21 years together.

P.S. My hubby is a very nice guy and what I think is the last of a dying breed - a romantic man. How many of you still hold hands? We do

Well first off, if the women really cares/loves you, she won't want her way every time. ya know? Love is about give and take, comprimising so that everyone is happy. Admittedly I get my way more but I also let my hubby have some things his way. The perfect relationship is one where the balance if this works for both people. I can be pretty hard headed I guess but fortunately for me, my husband puts up with me and I, for my part, don't carry a grudge out. We always find a way to get past any arguments we have in relatively short order.

I wouldn't say that. I've got a 24 year-old son who's getting married in August and I'm liking what I see of them together. :)



Only in public. ;)

I remember shortly after I got married, one of my co-workers saying he bet that hand holding thing doesn't last after the first year. How little he knew us.... We'll be that old couple in the commercials walking thru the park holding hands. :)

And THAT my man is part of the problem with people today. I'm not saying people have to grope each other in public but what is wrong with showing the world you love each other? To proclaim to all who would listen that THIS is my man/woman and I want everyone to know it? I'm listening to a song right now referencing "little signs of distance" which perhaps point to a bigger problem. Not true for everyone of course but I don't think I would want someone who, for whatever reason, could not or would not show his feelings toward me in public (in an acceptable manner of course)

That is a cultural thing. If I'm correct, in India for instance it is totally not done to hold hands in public, not even when married. Let alone kiss :rolleyes:

same for back in my Asian country.. but the younger generation are starting to change things. still not as it is in other countries like USA.
mostly conservative.

PDA is great.. and kind of a silent declaration of love and ownership.
(I know someone is going to take offense to "ownership".. but whatever)
 
I take offense!!!;):) just kidding!!;)
Damn straight I belong to him.. And he belongs to me..
And I am all for PDA!! We still hold hands kiss hello or goodbye and occasionally sneak in some
Totally inappropriate for public stealth like PDA :p
 
PDA is all cool for me. Sometimes it's can be a little overboard, but come on. If you're in a loving relationship, it shouldn't be relegated to the bedroom. Have fun! You're not showing off, you're in love! :D
