You can’t force a relationship (or attraction) with a ‘Nice Guy’
Many moons ago, I dated this complete jock strap when I was living over in the US. I’m not being mean - he really was grade A assclown material but he was a knock on effect of dropping the previous assclown (I looked for opposite qualities to the previous guy but neglected to take into [...]
Why don’t women enjoy a healthy relationship after leaving a damaging one?
On Thursday I wrote about how expending energy better used elsewhere discussing and talking and explaining to men who are not worthy of your time is a futile exercise and stalling strategy where we as women get to avoid making a decision and doing something about our problems.
As I read through the comments, an age-old problem repeatedly reared its head:
Women who have a relationship history of being in inappropriate relationships with assclowns and other such men, do not know how to have or appreciate a relationship with a decent man.
Guest Post: You can be a ‘Nice Guy’ but I need you to keep your balls and be a ‘man’
Recently I had to travel to the US, and one particular issue kept coming up.
My travelling buddy, while really sweet and easy going, was slowly driving me insane. I thought I was going to pull my own hair out and wanted to give him a happy pill or something, just so he would be able to talk faster instead of taking 5 minutes to think of a response to anything I said! My main frustration was that this guy could not make a decision for the life of him!! He was travelling with me because he is meant to be that little bit more savvy, but honestly it would have been better travelling with a stuffed toy!
So here is the thing: This guy could not make a decision, said YES to everything that I asked him, and seemed to have no sense of opinion himself, and on top of that was a complete and utter people pleaser! I don’t know about you guys, but isn’t this something that you would find just irritating? Mind you, some of you may be thinking that it would be great to have such an easy going traveling buddy…
The truth about Nice Guys
The dating world is a complicated one full of dodgy dates, misconceptions, and pigeon holing galore, and none more so than with the quintessential hard-done-by Mr Nice Guy. But…are ‘Nice Guys’ really that ‘nice’?
Trust me, it’s not because you’re the Nicest Guy On Earth™ why you can’t pick up women – it’s either because you’re [...]
Geeks Can Be Hot
Judging by the tastes of women in general and readers of this blog, the idea of dating a ‘geek’ is as exciting as the prospect of dating a ‘Nice Guy’. Naturally like the latter, geeks are underrated and underappreciated, and someone has posted on Craigslist about ‘Why Dating Nerds and Geeks Pays Off’, a call [...]
‘Average’ Men Turned Upside Down
I believe that you can pretty much divide men into three camps: Nice Guys, Bad Boys and Mr Unavailable’s, but many women talk about ‘average men’, usually with disdain. Average by its very nature implies middle of the road, nothing special and to many women, it’s not a very attractive prospect. Combined with the fact [...]
Mr Too Nice to Date Twice
A few months back, I wrote about 10 Guys That Make Dating Mistakes which was a rather tongue-in-cheek look at the guys who are a human barrier to their own dating success. I’ve decided to take a more in-depth look at these characters one at a time, with the first being Mr Too Nice to [...]
Nice Isn’t Always a Four Letter Word
The running joke in my family is that if there is a lying, cheating, jerk within a 200 mile radius, he will eventually show up somewhere as my date. I see the best in everyone, even if I have to dig through mountains of crap to find the good. I like to believe that everyone [...]
What is a Nice Guy?
When we think of nice guys in the dating sense, we tend to think too nice (because that’s bad apparently), boring, unassertive, too compliant, overly agreeable, doesn’t mess us about, isn’t ambiguous about his feelings, dying to settle down, possibly wears brown corduroy’s (joke!) and lots of words that we associate with unexciting, ordinary, not [...]
Vixen’s Guide to: Dating a Nice Guy
I’ve had my share of Bad Boys but invariably, I’ve always been drawn more consistently to the Nice Guy. There is something about the old school charm, chivalrous ways and polished manners of this type of male that draws me like a moth to a flame. The term Nice Guy, has been used exclusively to [...]
