An Ode To Us Nice Guys

Math Is Hard

let me go ask Uncle Daddy - he's still got the negatives. He might be out in the truck with Lurleen tonight so I don't know when I can get back to you.

The name 'nice guys' is a little bit insulting to the men who are nice, as a 'nice guy' is thought of as a wimp or a push over with not much personality.

Nice is thus down graded into something which is not a good thing to be - something which is bad for individuals and society.

In reality thinking about other people and doing nice things does not impair chances with women. It is lack of charisma and being a wimp which does this.

I thought this was an O.D.E.(Ordinary Differential Equation) to us nice guys to solve!?! I'm sooo disappointed!

LOL.

I really did laugh at that. God i am a geek.

I really do hate that. Confusing kindness with weakness. One quote I absolute love, I think, sums this right up.

"I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to
be expected only from the strong."

I think this is where the confusion comes in. When women say we want a nice guy, we mean genuinely nice, not a wimpy push-over puppy. But, when we wind up being followed around by a wimpy push-over puppy, and give him the brush-off, then he goes whining that women all say they want a nice guy and he's a nice guy so women must not mean it when they say they want a nice guy. From the wimpy push-over puppy perspective, even the genuinely nice guys that women date probably appear to be jerks because even a nice guy isn't going to give a wimpy push-over puppy the time of day because they're just too darn annoying to be around.

Bottom line...be yourself and you'll have a far better chance of finding a woman who suits you best.

That's a moot point, these 'nice guys' are being themselves. No one would choose to act that way if they weren't naturally like that. If they're stupid enough that they would, we don't want them reproducing, so they should keep acting that way.

hmm... quite a few dog references..
but a very good explanation.

franznietzsche

Think it might have been a freudian thing?

Maybe she was thinking about *tribdog*?

Astronuc

I thought the 'dog' thing was Pavlov.

Math Is Hard

so, it was possibly a Pavlovian slip?

Moonbear

*drool* Maybe.

When PFers make an intellectual joke....


Why can't normal people be like this?

Moonbear

Normal people don't find it funny, they don't even get the joke. Watch what you wish for, because if normal people were like this, we'd all be normal, and what fun is that?

franznietzsche

Given that i wouldn't inevitably despise 9 out of every ten attractive women i meet, very. Very, very fun.

Moonbear

Meh, you say that now, but if all the women were like that, you'd get bored of it pretty quickly. You'd be craving the morons just for variety.

Chrono

You still got that one woman.
