You hear it all the time: "He was such a NICE Guy, and she's Heartless for dumping him."

If you have one bad relationship after another, the only common denominator is YOU. Think about it.

SO WHY DON'T LADIES LIKE NICE GUYS

PART 1

Hideous Insecurity
What's wrong with Nice Guys? The biggest problem is that most Nice Guys 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 glimmered onto you out of desperation because you actually paid some kind of attention to him.

Nice guys are 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. ..


Nice Guys go overboard.
They bring roses to a "lets get together for coffee" date (Oyibo setting that is to say). wink
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, shocked 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.


Clingy
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. cry

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.


Fear of Conflict
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 compromising 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. undecided

A woman doesn't want a martyr. She wants an equal, caring, adult partner.


Self Esteem
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." shocked
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."



Too Clingy
More than loving the woman in his life, a Nice Guy believes he NEEDS her. "She is my Life, my only source of happiness..." YECH! shocked What kind of a burden is that to place on her? That SHE has to be responsible for YOUR happiness? Get a grip!


Long Story Short
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 inherently unlovable anyways?"



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".

In a nutshell: Self-confident, caring, decent-hearted women find "Nice Guys" to be too clingy, self-abasing, and insecure.

Get this: INSECURITY ISN'T SEXY. IT'S A TURNOFF. cool

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.

You might say there are numerous disadvantages to been nice to ladies, well nobody is saying you should stop been nice, but if you are going to be nice do it because you really want to, not because you are expecting something in return"

Re: WHY WOMEN DON'T DATE NICE GUYS!! (why Nice Guys" Often Finish Last) by Nobody: 3:34pm On Nov 29, 2014
All these generalisations are what will push people to what they fear most. Who told u ladies dnt cheat on guys that are not nice? Who told u that all nice guys are not confident and are clingy? Are u trying to say nice guys remain single for life? So they dnt marry? The word 'NICE' has been bastardized too much. No wonder guys loose their girlfriends to real men after forming 'badt' guy. They will now come to nairaland and lament.
