I have been dedicating at least 1 hour a day to do some reading. If you have read my prev entries I have been working on my game ( woman) so Im going to share some good articles I have come across. Today this one got my attention big time. I saw myself reflected in this post maybe 2 years ago. even tho I have changed this massively I still have some traits I must change, anyways, here it is:
You hear it all the time: "He was such a NICE Guy, and she's such a Heartless Bitch for dumping him."
I get letters from self-professed Nice Guys, complaining that women must WANT to be treated like shit, because THEY, the "Nice Guy" have failed repeatedly in relationships. This is akin to the false logic that "Whales are mammals. Whales live in the sea. Therefore, all mammals live in the sea."
If you have one bad relationship after another, the only common denominator is YOU. Think about it.
What's wrong with Nice Guys? The biggest problem is that most Nice Guys (tm) are hideously insecure. They are so anxious to be liked and loved that they do things for other people to gain acceptance and attention, rather than for the simply pleasure of giving. You never know if a Nice Guy really likes you for who you are, or if he has glommed onto you out of desperation because you actually paid some kind of attention to him.
Nice Guys exude insecurity -- a big red target for the predators of the world. There are women out there who are "users" -- just looking for a sucker to take advantage of. Users home-in on "Nice Guys", stroke their egos, take them for a ride, add a notch to their belts, and move on. It's no wonder so many Nice Guys complain about women being horrible, when the so often the kind of woman that gets attracted to them is the lowest form of life...
Self-confident, caring, decent-hearted women find "Nice Guys" to be too clingy, self-abasing, and insecure.
Nice Guys go overboard. They bring roses to a "lets get together for coffee" date. They try to buy her affections with presents and fancy things. They think they know about romance, but their timing is all wrong, and they either come-on too strong, too hard and too fast, OR, they are so shy and unassertive, that they hang around pretending to be "friends", in the hope that somehow, someway, they will get the courage up to ask her out for a "date".
They are so desperate to please that they put aside their own needs, and place the object of their desire on a pedestal. Instead of appreciating her, they worship her. We are only human, and pedestals are narrow, confining places to be -- not to mention the fact that we tend to fall off of them.
They cling to her, and want to be "one" with her for fear that if she is out of sight, she may disappear or become attracted to someone else. A Nice Guy often has trouble with emotional intimacy, because he believes that if she learns about the REAL person inside, she will no longer love him.
Nice Guys are always asking HER to make the decisions. They think it's being equitable, but it puts an unfair burden of responsibility on her, and gives him the opportunity to blame her if the decision was an unwise one.
Nice Guys rarely speak up when something bothers them, and rarely state clearly what it is they want, need and expect. They fear that any kind of conflict might spell the end of the relationship. Instead of comprimising and negotiating, they repeatedly "give in". When she doesn't appreciate their sacrifice, they will complain that, "Everything I did, I did for her.", as if this somehow elevates them to the status of martyrs. A woman doesn't want a martyr. She wants an equal, caring, adult partner.
Nice Guys think that they will never meet anyone as special as she is. They use their adoration as a foundation for claiming that "no one will ever love her as much as I do." Instead of being a profound statement of their devotion, this is a subtle, but nasty insult. It is akin to saying to her: "You are a difficult person, and only *I* can ever truly love you, so be thankful I'm here."
The nice guy -needs- to believe that he is the best person for the object of his desires, because otherwise his insecurities will overrun him with jealousies and fear. The truth of the matter is that there are many people out there who can be a good match for her. We rarely stop loving people we truly care about. Even if we no longer continue the relationship, the feelings will continue... But love isn't mutually exclusive. We can (and do) love many people in our lives, and romantic love is really no different. Though he may love her immensely, there will likely be other people who have loved her just as much in her past, and will love her just as much in the future. The irony of it all is: "Who would want to go out with someone who was inherintly unlovable anyways?"
More than loving the woman in his life, a Nice Guy NEEDS her. "She is my Life, my only source of happiness..." YECH! What kind of a burden is that to place on her? That SHE has to be responsible for YOUR happiness? Get a grip!
Another mistake Nice Guys make is to go after "hard luck" cases. They deliberately pick women with neuroses, problems, and personality disorders, because Nice Guys are "helpers". A Nice Guy thinks that by "helping" this woman, it will make him a better, more lovable person. He thinks it will give him a sense of accomplishment, and that she will appreciate and love him more, for all his efforts and sacrifice. He is usually disappointed by the results.
This ultimately boils down to the fact that Nice Guys don't like themselves. Is it any wonder women don't like them? In order to truly love someone else, you must first love yourself. Too often Nice Guys mistake obsession for "love".
Get this Guys: INSECURITY ISN'T SEXY. IT'S A TURNOFF.
You don't have to be an ego-inflated, arrogant jerk. You just have to LIKE yourself. You have to know what you want out of life, and go after it. Only then will you be attractive to the kind of woman with whom a long-term relationship is possible.

This whole entry is riddled with classifications and generalizations of genders.
Your conclusion makes more sense as its own thesis. You can't be in love with others if you don't love yourself. I don't know why you need the rest of the categorical and sometimes false stuff.

holy generalization batman

Interesting. Mostly because, despite generalizations, some of the self proclaimed 'nice guys' I know are at least 90% this. They are full of mini guilt trips and insecurities. Full of desire for that girl to be 100% interested and invested in them and no-one else. I don't know though, everyone has little quirks, no-one is completely free of insecurities and trust issues, and it has a lot to do with how they were treated by women in the past.
But then again I also know guys who are genuinely nice, who don't deserve to be treated badly. In those cases it is usually along the lines of 'he wasn't hard enough to catch and now I am bored'. People can be cruel.

Sounds more like an age issue and understanding of people rather than X type of guy always fails because of X expectation of women.
There will always be flaws in that rationale because its not accurate assumption of genders or the differences of. It's more of a summary of age and even then; it's very ageist of me to claim so.

'Nice guy' and 'friendzone' bother me. But I'll only talk about the former.
Being a nice person is like, bare minimum. I don't see why 'nice guys' (or sometimes even 'nice girls') are so coveted. Like, hey, you're a decent human being, congratulations! Maybe instead of 'stop being the nice guy', be more than just the nice guy?
Pro-tip: If the girl says 'you're a nice guy, but...' it probably means there wasn't anything about you that was attractive. You weren't funny, you weren't into the same stuff, you are actually ugly, you didn't 'click', etc etc. I don't know a single person who has actually broken up/not liked someone because they were 'too nice'. It just sounds dumb. It was always something else. But starting it off with 'you're a nice guy/gal' is better than 'you're ugly so no' or 'I discovered you are dreadfully boring so no''.

umm I don't hink age matter that's much after 25+, I find that woman psychology still the same. You either can entertain them and show them something different when hitting on them than the usual hi how are you whats ur name AFC stuff or you fail.
The more I experience with the subject, I find more that we can create attraction and we can build chemistry. Yes, sometimes that happens naturally, but a lot of guys aren't naturals, so you must practice to be able to build up interest, comfort, and what woman like to think of as "chemistry"
I want to say there is nothing wrong with being a nice human, to friends family etc, but that wont get you laid...or a hot girlfriend. I guess it boils down to priorities in each guy, I don't know about you, but I deff want to sleep with every girl that catches my attention and I think its hot. ( doesn't mean no standards, or fuck anything that walks, rather fuck whatever girl I find attracted too).
And yes, the article is very general, but I feel as some other poster above said, we all know or have seen a guy that acts exactly like this, you will see that guy who has a ton of hot girl-friends, but is always in the only friend zone, why? cus hes really nice to them and hes a confident and etc like the gay friend lol.
Not every nice guy fits 100% the description, like I said for example me, I still had one of those traits, I moved back to Colombia sometime ago and I live in a rural area where a lot of people are not poor but not rich. I happen to have a very good government job, and make decent money, but I had been trying to use my status and money on my game, often by paying girls for really expensive restaurants, or taking them to beach trips all paid by me ( when I wasn't even dating them yet just kinda going out) So it one of the things I have been working on of getting rid off and becoming more natural and not flash what I have type of deal

No.
Being a "nice guy", you have certain interests and preferences.
Then you meet this hot girl and she is only interested in "jerks" and she ignores you.
Nice guys finish last?
Nope, its just that that type of girl is focused on superficial stuff like appereances, muscles...whatever. So thats not your interest area at all, but the "jerks" are focused on that as well, running to tan saloons and gyms.
So naturally those two are interested in each other.
Stop wallowing in selfpity and focus on women that actually have something in common with you.
|
This is all 100% right lol
Anyone who claim this blog isn't at lieast 90% accurate is nice guy in denial tbh
|
You can still be a nice guy lol. I think there are 2 different ways you can recieve the title. Just do whatever you can, be as nice as you want just as long as you are secure with your self and your goals. Being the nice guy isnt the issue.
|
Word up OP.
I used to be a nice guy ( but secure) and I kept getting friendzoned.
Then I tried to go the other route and be a bit of a douche and suddenly I had much better success. "Forgetting" dates and keep talking about other girls and shit like that can get you pretty far which is sad
|
what? aren't we all somewhat superficial? especially man?
are you trying to tell me that you sit there and masturbate about a fat nerdy girl thinking " what a nice girl, very beautiful personality ohh man im going to cum" fuck no, as a guy you like hot chicks as well, ok they don't have to be super models with fake tits and big ass, but still hot girls.

I don't think you should generalize "nice guys" in a way that ALL "nice guys" are this way. I'm a very merciful, nice, and understanding guy but I'm not insecure. I'm also 24, and my fiance is 25, so your generalization is therefore invalid. This is a list for insecure guys, which again can not be condensed in a simple generalization. You make it sound like a woman causes a lot of a guy's low self-esteem, which is only partially true. It's not a woman's fault at all actually that you are so self-absorbed. A guy's self-confidence, self-esteem, and insecurity can vary on a host of things, ranging from childhood experiences, social life, and other aspects (parent-child relationships, drugs, eating/sleeping/exercising habits, etc). That's why there are tons of classes and years of schooling in counseling.

isn't saying something like "dont be a nice guy, hot girls dont like nice guys" inherently insecure?
|
Nice guy entitlement is a good way to spend your next hour of reading (joke). Also happened upon something called sloot entitlement and realized this nice guy vector is hilarious. As someone who used to believe in this crap as a teenager, I can tell you straight up:
It's mind poison. It's self-fulfilling prophecy.

I find it interesting that people are actually arguing this. WP, OP.

Because it is a challenge of course.
