its the ol' Conan syndrome, every woman wants to tame the beast(but not really).Back Burner said:Fuck I couldn't say it better myself in regards to the 3 last post.
Stop being the fucking doormat and check that bitch at the door. As soon as you start ignoring her she'll be interested.
Women are that complicated(in a fucked up sort of way) , it's you that has trouble adapting to what it takes to get this one.
What do you want from her Stinky? A relationship? Sex? Stop being the shoulder she cries on and be the man. Or plan B, alcohol!

Why "Nice Guys" are often such LOSERS
You hear it all the time: "He was such a NICE Guy, and she's such a Heartless Bitch for dumping him."
Ahhhh...so is this why my Woody Allen impersonations are not effective when trying to seduce women. I always thought it worked well for him.stinkynuts said: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.
Good find Stinky. I agree with everything but I’m not too crazy about the website it came from.I thought this article, from a woman's pov was interesting.

Why "Nice Guys" are often such LOSERS
Damn right. Treating people like crap is just as much a sign of weakness as being a doormat. The only advantage that treating er like carp has is that the stupid, insecure & otherwise damaged mistake it for strength...... Rudeness is the weak man's substitute for strength.asn said:no they dont. treat her with respect. if she starts acting like bitch stand up for yourself. that is the key. dont let her walk all over you.

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.

#70 Nice Guys
Posted May 1st, 2008 by Justin · 24 Comments
To celebrate the big 7-0 post, I’m going to write about Asian Nice Guys. You know who they are … If you’re an Asian gal, then you’re probably smirking because not just a few come to mind. And guys, if you’re a nice guy by birth like me, then you’ve probably found yourself hating your life at some point or another.
Asian guys have heard girls toss around these types of comments every so often: “Oh, Tim, he’s such a nice guy” (so this is alright, still hopeful, he’s on her good side, still no flat-out rejection) “Yeah, Johnny, he’s so nice…I only like him as a friend.” (this might hurt a bit because he’s been led on to think otherwise) “Oh Yeah, Lee’s definitely got the Nice Guy Syndrome.” Okay, so now according to girls, some Asian guys have a sickly illness that causes them to only “want to be friends” and place a post-it in big words across their forehead: NICE GUY. Some guys can take that fact and move on, but others will definitely hold a reasonable amount of grudge year after year.
According to “ The Modern Man,” A Nice Guy is:
- Is nervous around women
- Is shy in social situations
- Is intimidated by women and feels like he needs to impress them
- Doesn’t know what to say to women (usually linked into trying to impress women)
- Is too nice to women, like he would be to his grandmother
- Calls women too often, not allowing them to miss him
- Tells women that he has ‘feelings’ for them too early
- Behaves submissively or weakly around women
- Tends to accept a woman’s demands, just so she will spend time with him or continue talking to him
- Becomes a ‘doormat’ for women and puts his own needs aside
- Listens to all of woman’s problems and discusses them in the way her girlfriends would
- Gives away his power to women, and allows women to become the ‘boss’
- Always seems to ask women what they want to do, instead of being a man and taking the lead
The unfortunate thing is that many of these characteristics come with the Asian culture, values, and customs: being passive, non-confrontational, indecisive, humble, modest, etc… which is the opposite from what modern girls are looking for: a leader, confident, smooth, one who speaks his mind, and not to leave out tall and masculine. Thus, you’ll find more often Asian guys quickly being tossed in the Nice Guys “tissue box” and used to the max whenever a girl needs a shoulder to cry on, whenever she wants to feel accepted, or whenever she needs to be picked up from the airport. You name it… But never in her right mind, will she consider him for a boyfriend. Or if she gives him a chance in the relationship, it sucks to find that she was never serious about him in the first place. She just needed someone for the time being but will eventually run off with a Bad Guy.
Okay, you’ve been there and done that. So what now? Many people say opposites attract. An Asian Nice Guy could possibly be attracted to a girl who will make decisions for him also known as bossy or controlling, putting himself at risk of being taking advantage of (to the max again I might add). This might work for some. Asian Nice Guys oftentimes put themselves in a bad situation by being too infatuated with pretty girls. When he deems Girl A to be attractive, he will do anything for her which includes not even noticing that she’s nice *ahem, flirty* to all guys. These guys will also be led on by many girls finding, ultimately, that it was nothing. This can’t be good either.
Asian Nice Guys can also end up with girls who have learned it the hard way that they actually need someone who will care for them and raise a good family aka “settle down.” Asian Nice Guys need to know how to protect themselves because they can’t expect girl A or girl B to look out for them even if she looks like an angel or seems to be nice at the time. But in rare cases, he will run into a nice, genuine, sweet, and smart girl (pretty or not) who will not take advantage of him and appreciates all the things he does for her. If you’re a nice guy, then don’t freak out when the time comes. Be yourself. There’s no need for you to pretend to be tough, hard to get, something you’re definitely not. Learn how to speak up for your own needs and know your personal boundaries. And most importantly, run after the damn girl and never take her for granted! Looks can be deceiving and painful, but sweet girls last and bring out the best in you. Trial and error and learn for yourself what works. Good luck!
