There are a lot of men with steady long-term relationships who don't have a lot of money or time or flashy toys. How do you explain that?
Amazing, isn't it? All shapes and sizes of them, too (the same being true for women as well).

I absolutly love how this thread has quickly become a bash the thread starter session without any of you that have done the bashing knowing a single thing about me other than the perceived belief that I am materialistic and now a whiner apprently. Everyone stop and think about the point of the poting.

You know you have all seen this crap before and you have all one time or another saw a great guy or great girl with some complete tool. You have all sat there and watched the guy or girl disrepsect their dates, have all watched them check out other guys and/girls, etc etc. You probably all have friends that have either done the above or been the victim of the above. Focus people...this thread is not about me...I am very well away of the type of person I am...focus on the questions presented in the thread ! Geez

I think it comes down to what they want to get out of the relationship. Whatever they want, they are probably getting it, because when you don't get what you want, you end it. You want something different from your relationships than they do, so you can't see why they want to stay in that relationship. It could be that they want sex and are getting a lot of it. It could be that they want somebody to pay for their meals. It could be that they want somebody they can talk to any time of day. But you want a happy long-term relationship. They probably don't because those aren't the kind of people that have happy long-term relationships. They're not in it for the long term, they're in it for right now.

Gee Zus Aged Cristo, not another nice guy thread !!!


Yeah yeah yeah, you're a martyr. The greatest guy in the world that women just don't want anything to do with. Blah blah blah. You'd practically need a calculator to count all of the threads that are just like this one. Women date losers. Women only date guys with money (fancy cars, jerks, losers and all the other junk that "nice guys" don't have [I do have to admit the "Women don't date men who rent apartments" is a new one. (not posted by the OP)

So, you have a good job, are "the funniest guy" anyone will meet, have a place on the water, and a great car, but women still won't date you? So much for the concept that women only date guys who [insert choice material possessions here].

Before you tell me how I'm judging you without knowing you, true enough. I do, however, know many guys just like you. You all say exactly the same thing. Whatever the reason you can't find a woman, it's never because of you. It's always because women are shallow, or have low self-esteem, or like being abused.

You're offended that some of the posters criticized you without knowing you, yet you ask "Women WHY DO YOU LIKE LOSERS???" (caps in original). Then you have the gall to kipe "notice how this thread became a bash the poster thread"?

Men who "wear shorts down below their knees" are losers? Men who drive 1988 Civics are losers? Men who don't know a salad fork from a dinner fork are losers? Yet people shouldn't criticize you without knowing you?

Instead of whining about the other guys, or accusing women of having poor judgment, maybe you should focus on your own qualities. And I'm not talking about material possessions or pearly white, straight teeth.
_____________________

My rant above is not directed specifically at the OP, but at all the guys that ramble on about how screwed up women are. If you want you want to read constructive comments see my thread "Resolved: Nice guys aren't nice." Women offered very constructive criticism and explained exactly why so many of them don't date the self-proclaimed "nice guy".

A book by Barbara DeAngelis titled "What Women Want Men To Know" is a good read for this subject

What the heck does honesty have to do with makeup, hair color, primping, other forms of aesthetic enhancement, etc? These are all things that are visible to the naked eye... if one has a good eye, anyway.

The only way any-of-the-above would be dishonest, would be if the woman were to lie about it... and try to pass it off as "natural".

Offline millions of women across the United States laugh their butts & GET that joke. Online it's anutter butter story! They are NOT visible to the naked eye. If both a woman and man stay up till 4am and go to work at 8am the next morning, one wears makeup while the other has racoon eyes.

Ditto for hair coloring, etc.

Peace!

"Nice guys like us finish last dude! Get used to it."

NO, nice guys finish best.

A nice guy shows a woman WHO he is, not WHAT he is. A nice guy shows kindness and manners. A nice guy expects good things to happen in his life because he sees the world as a great opportunity. When I find that nice guy, I am going to rock his world because he deserves it.

Now I am getting worried. When I lose the 150 lbs and get my physical appearance together, I am going to just attract more players and golddiggers.

I think what I will start doing is dressing down, driving a beat up car, and act like I have no money so I can attract a woman who likes me for who I am and not what I have.
bingo!!!!

Yes. My old bf used to tell me all the time that he was the nicest guy I knew. He was quite self-absorbed, of course. But cute...
