In summary, the author argues that being a "nice guy" does not mean being confident or self-assured, and that being nice is better, no matter what.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Though, while you're at it, there's a PF babe here who's your age and she's taken a little notice of you...when are you going to post a picture of yourself for her? (In that other thread there...see...she's flirting a little.) :biggrin:


lol, well i'll be in a tux this weekend, so maybe i'll take some pictures and post em.

I'm not real big on pictures really, i don't have any pictures of anything. Well, except when i find stuff on the internet and photoshop it. But i don't ever take pictures.

So, what's the big event that you'll be wearing a tux? Someone will have to have a camera to get a picture of you. There are at least a few PF gals close to your age here (see, I'm helping up the ante for you, make it look like there's lots of competition so she better snag you quick! :wink:)

Someone likes to play matchmaker eh? Just how would i go about snagging him anyways...? I'm not sure how to go about starting a relationship on an online forum. Sides, he said he was so sexy, can't blame me for being interested in that! Let's see that pic of him in a tux... maybe i'll figure out a way to snag him afterall... (oh and if anyone thinks they're competition: you better step off, I'm territorial grrrr)

Look at that, already bragging about your attributes for Gale! :approve:

Gale, he gets grouchy sometimes, but I think that's just because he needs the love of a good woman. And he's a musician too...what more can a gal ask for than a physicist musician...he uses both sides of his brain!

That concert sounds cool! You definitely need to get some pics of you in a tux. You know women can't resist men in tuxes!

That's the whole point of a tux. :approve:

It's funny how girls say they like nice guys when they never go for them.

i go for nice guys all the time... i know most girls don't, which is a lot of why i do. But really, i'd prefer a nice, intelligent guy who i can stand to look at for a while over anything else. The only reason i haven't dated more nice guys is cause they rarely ask anyone out, and its very hard to get them to open up. Most nice guys seem to be awful shy too...

That's called being deferential. Its important to be deferential, otherwise, you're not nice. Not nice at all.

That's when you got to be the aggressor and ask them out. They'll start opening up when they figure out it's in their best interest to do so.

It doesn't work. I've tried and they just get more flustered.

I guess you have to keep trying. It may take more than one time to do it.

NO it takes the nice guy learning to just get up and do it himself. No amount of womanly attention will do that.

A shotgun helps. Then they truly understand it's in their best interest. :wink:

I commented on this a page back (or so). Part of the problem seems to be the confusion between nice and push-over.

I can assure you I've never dated a guy who wasn't nice. Well, that's not entirely true. I've gone out on dates with guys who were jerks, but I didn't realize they were jerks until I got out on a date with them. I didn't go on second dates with them. I have also dated two rather pathetic push-over types. One was when I was still in high school, and that lasted a month or two because I didn't know any better and started out thinking it was sweet of him to be so attentive, then realized he was clinging to me everywhere I went and it wasn't so sweet anymore. Then he didn't even get it when I dumped him, so I wound up screaming at him to go away and stay away in the middle of the crowded hall in the high school during class changes when I finally got so fed up I couldn't take it anymore; he finally got the hint then. The other one only lasted a few dates. Basically, the first time I visited his apartment and noticed it was decorated in a very feminine style, I asked if he had previously had a live-in girlfriend (I was suspicious if he still had another girlfriend even) and he told me his MOM decorated his apartment for him. :bugeye: :yuck: It was downhill from there as it quickly became apparent he was a complete momma's boy. Being a momma's boy is not synonymous with being a nice guy. I want someone with a spine.

:rofl:

I don't ask them twice. Once they know I'm interested, if they realize they want to go out, then it's their turn to ask. If they can't get over their shyness enough to even ask out someone who just asked them out and is clearly interested, then it's not going to work out anyway.

I knife would work well, also, I'm sure.

You never did say how it's going with your sister. :tongue2:

A knife works extremely well! I got two of my previous boyfriends by holding them at knifepoint. Seriously! I think I told those stories somewhere here before. Well, actually, if you count a sword made from a balloon, then it's three. Maybe that's why I've had so much trouble finding a date in this town; I don't carry a knife on me anymore. :devil:

Speaking of knives, I got a bit of a story. It's between a couple of my martial arts buddies. They both, before I started going there, were dating each other. I'm not sure of the whole story between those two, but they ended it off. Anyway, she always threatens him with the word, "castrate".

Not much of a story now that I went through it.
