Who Do You Women Prefer? The Hard Guy Or the "Nice Guy"? by Orikinla(m): 5:29pm On Aug 12, 2008
Which one do girls or women prefer, THE SO CALLED "NICE GUY" OR THE HARD GUY?


There are a lot of misconceptions and erroneous or ambiguous connotations on what makes a nice guy or a hard guy.

[size=14pt]Desrochers (1995) claims that many "sensitive" men do not believe that women want "nice guys" due to their personal experiences.[5] According to McDaniel (2005), popular culture and dating advice "suggest that women claim they want a 'nice guy' because they believe that that is what is expected of them when, in reality, they want the so-called 'challenge' that comes with dating a not-so-nice guy." Urbaniak & Kilmann (2003) write that "Although women often portray themselves as wanting to date kind, sensitive, and emotionally expressive men, the nice guy stereotype contends that, when actually presented with a choice between such a 'nice guy' and an unkind, insensitive, emotionally-closed, 'macho man' or 'jerk,' they invariably reject the nice guy in favor of his "so-called" macho competitor."[/size]~

What of the hard woman in contrast to the nice woman?

Do men prefer hard women or nice women?

Personally, I do not think there is really a NICE GUY OR NICE WOMAN, there is only THE GOOD MAN OR THE GOOD WOMAN.

What most people call "Bobo Nice" in Nigeria does not exist again,


[size=14pt]She's always right- This is what those nice guys think about the women they're with. No female prefers a "Yes man". They all prefer guys who have strong beliefs and opinions and who know how to stand up tall and rise to the occasion.

Blah Blah Blah

Keep on spreading your propaganda of "The Formula of Women"

This is just another thread that generalizes women

Why not start seeing women as individual

Ori, this generalization thingy is becoming a thorn in my flesh.  Yea. sometimes, based on experience with a certain genre, one may want to think that they are all alike, however, we must be openminded when making statements of this magnitude.

To answer your question, I like my guys both nice and hard. Mind you many "little boys" in big men clothes somehow think being a "hard" guy means being abusive( in all forms). Here is where education comes in. Being hard does NOT at all entails those issues. 

A nice guy can be hard and vice versa. My other half posses both qualities. He is hard, yet very nice. wink

If you know the history of Nigeria, you will also know that I AM NOT JOBLESS OR A SECOND CLASS CITIZEN LIKE MANY PEOPLE HIDING BEHIND A MONIKER AND A COMPUTER ONLINE.

If I spend 12 hours on Nairaland, it is better and safer than most Nigerians who rubbish and tarnish the name of Nigeria online and offline.

Personally,

I like assertive men, men who think by being a 'yes man' is going to get them in the ladies books are in for a surprise. I like men who steer their own lives, who are willing to defend what they believe in. It's the 'perfect' combination that most women are after, the nice guy, who can stand up for her in a fight or even against her in an argument. They want to feel as if their man is 'raw', not some diluted version. Also, I like charm, a guy who is daring scores points too, daring to say something unexpected or cheeky, not the predictable type. Generally, I would like some excitement in my life, that would be the only explanation for why I would choose a 'bad guy' over the 'nice guy', especially if the nice guy is very safe. Whilst the 'bad guy' swoops in with all his energy and takes me away, the nice guy is more likely to be quiet about it, whilst if it was the other way around, a 'bad guy' would go to extents to prove his 'love' for you.

I think I'll like a Hard guy with a nice guy alter-ego.
Hard on the outside, nice with me on the inside. Treating me with all the care, respect and love that can possibly be found within any man.
Re: Who Do You Women Prefer? The Hard Guy Or the "Nice Guy"? by HRhotness(f): 2:00am On Aug 13, 2008
i like nice men who know their worth

who are self assured and confident

who know who they are and what they want

who understand that being nice and well mannered doesnt mean they are weak
Re: Who Do You Women Prefer? The Hard Guy Or the "Nice Guy"? by Nobody: 2:03am On Aug 13, 2008
A stable man is more on my prefer list.
Hard, Nice, w/e, as long as he's mature and knows what responsibility is and how to carry it out.
