Is being called a "nice guy" good?

What is your opinion on being called a nice guy? Do you often get called that alot by the opposite sex? And do you think that's a good or a bad sign? (Same appleis to females being called "nice girls" too).

nothing wrong with being nice.

id rather a lady call me a "nice guy" than be like, "hey that guy is an a**hole

Only thing I will say is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear that phrase is a floor mat.

There is that phrase "nice guys finish last," but I disagree with it. Girls may seem to want to go for the badass rebel of a guy in junior high/high school or even early in college, but most grow out of that. It's a compliment to be called a nice guy. Most girls do appreciate that...myself included. :)t3hrubikscube

I think the problem is most people "appreciate" it in the sense they walk all-over you....

As a self-professed "nice guy" who gets called a nice guy all the time, I can say to you that it has done no good for me in life.....

Pretty much always a bad thing

It's technically a compliment, but it probably means your likelihood of getting any action is significantly lower than someone who isn't a "nice guy".megagene

I get made fun of for looking very intimidating and being very nice and friendly to everyone.

I guess girls like that.

Sure. I don't care if people don't respect me for being a good person.

I would assume being "nice" is an attribute you might want to have.

It's good to a degree. It's often that a man thinks he's being victimized by girls when he's really just a sissy. Don't be a door mat, and you'll be better off.

True. Show some back bones men. Give the ladies a reason or two to want you. Make her work and chase you a little... enshrining a lady on a pedestal just won't do.

I think it is a good sign.

Only if you could balance it. You can't be too nice or you'll get walked all over on. Plus being labeled as a "nice guy" might be unattractive for most females. If you already have a gf or a wife or a stable income, then that's when you can be a nice guy all you want.

So true.

Women like assertive and confident guys: this often overlaps with the jerk characteristics, but nice guys can pull it off too.

Shy and introverted guys are the ones who take a backseat in almost everything in this society.

It ****** sucks.

I was gonna say all of that as well (except for the "myself included" part, lol).

But the problem is, like you said, women love the bad guy in their teens/early 20's. So men become asses. Then when you decide that you now want a "good guy", it's mostly too late; all the men have been practicing being bad for 10 years now!

Men and women sadly are often on different pages (and it's unrealistic to want a man to be bad, then start being good when women grow out of wanting bad guys).

?!?

It's bad. Cause girls only date guys that treat them like crap :( It's true but sad. th3warr1or

The only girls I see doing that, don't really seem like the type worth going after.

I know this is true from experience. It's just terrible.

See I put it like this. There's nothing wrong with being a nice guy, but there is something wrong with being TOO nie of a guy and unfortunately if you're called a "nice guy" you are being too nice. This will make u fail at getting 99.9% of girls because they see you as a little ***** rather than a man unfortunately. I've learned this very well from personal experience.

Being called a nice guy is a death sentence. I was hanging out with a girl for about3 weeks, and everything was going well, as best I could tell. I hadn't tried to get in her pants, and was as gentlemanly as I could be. This woman did a complete 180, and left me hanging for 3 days without so much as a phone call. I finally had to drag it out of the friend who set us up as to why this happened. Her exact words: "He's too nice". OK. Here's my idea; go out with an a-hole guy who beats you until you look like a run-over bicycle, and then tell me whether you want a "nice guy". I'd wager thata young lady's tune would change quite a bit then. So, if a girl says you're too nice, tell her to jog on, and wait for someone who appreciates a genuinely good person.

IT'S A TRAP!
