AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the frustrations of being the go-to friend for advice on romantic interests, particularly from women who do not reciprocate feelings. The main points highlight the challenges of being perceived as just a friend rather than a potential romantic partner. Participants emphasize the importance of expressing interest early on to avoid falling into the "friend zone." They suggest that being overly nice can lead to being overlooked, as many women are drawn to more assertive or "jerk" types. The conversation also touches on the need for men to show confidence and make their intentions clear, rather than solely providing emotional support. Ultimately, the consensus is that a shift in attitude—balancing kindness with assertiveness—can improve romantic prospects.

Honestly, man, I don't think it even matters if you're nice or not. Either giving the girl a shoulder or not is probably not going to be the determining factor between you bedding her and you simply becoming an outlet for her complaints about the guys that are bedding her.

You're problem is that you're insecure, which is reflected pretty handily in the way you've posted here. If you don't believe you deserve them, they won't believe it either. Look at how far a little confidence gets ugly dorks like Vince Neal and David Lee Roth. Granted, being a rock star also helps, but even guys like them in school get chicks.

As a follow-up to LYN's post, you must believe you've got something to offer HER. You must be convinced that it would be good for her to get together with you, not just that it would be good for you.

Being secure and confident is a plus.

Changing you attitude does wonders, even without the company of actions.
