Are you being a nice guy or a doormat when dating?
“Nice guys finish last”, “women love the bad boy” – how often have we heard those lines spoken by men who define themselves as gentlemen and complain about being ignored by women?
Schools upon schools of pick up artists spring up to teach men such as these how to be rude and mean to women so that they can finally get some, but is it the so-called niceness that puts women off, or is it something else? Check out this recent article on the Huffington Post for a few clues about why some of these guys who claim to be nice end up being left on the shelf.
The truth is, there is a point where one can be overly polite and considerate, to the point where the only thing that’s coming across is that you’re insecure and desperate. I totally agree with the article – us women love men who treat us nicely and show respect and appreciation. This is especially true for women looking to settle down and looking for a man who’s likely to make a good long term partner. But a man who throws himself away at a woman’s feet to the point of forsaking his own needs is somewhat less appealing. You’re allowed to be considerate and courteous while still having your own opinion and needs. Both men and women would do well to remember that.
