		<description>First, you need to understand that it's not just "nice guys".  Men do exactly the same thing with "nice girls".  They ignore them, talk to them, take them for granted, and wind up dating the "bad girls" who are sexier, hotter, more exciting, and who wind up breaking their hearts.  the "nice girls" may be a little plainer, maybe carry more weight, don't dress quite as nicely, whatever.  They get passed up, too, just like the nice guys.  It's not something unique to either men or women, but to people in general.

And yes, there are different types of "nice guys".  Some guys feign interest or caring in order to try to seduce women.  That's not who this article is describing.  It's talking about the genuinely nice, caring, compassionate men who get passed up because they're not all that exciting.

The problem is that what gets our juices flowing isn't necessarily what makes a good partner.  We often opt for the sexual, the passion, instead of what will work long-term.  So we jump into the sack with someone who isn't compatible with us, get hurt, cry to our non-sexy friends, and do it all over again.

If we're lucky, we eventually come to realize that passion, while important, isn't the only trait we need in a partner.  We need honesty, loyalty, empathy, compassion, many other things besides a hot body and great technique.  Often we can find those traits in the friends we've been overlooking, if we're willing to look a little more closely.</description>

		<description>I have a guy "friend" who will tell you he is a "nice guy" who loves women but he is a bitter, angry man who really dislikes women. He knows I only want to be friends yet persists in wanting to give me foot rubs, paying for getting my hair done and trying to play with it...none of which I allow. I have twice cut off contact with him because I get sick of him being a whiny little bitch at 42 years old. 

Suck it up, life is not fair and not everyone you want will want you back.</description>

		<description>You seem to be confusing actually being a nice guy with hanging around with a girl, not asking her out and then hoping she'll fall in love with you. If the only reason you act like a friend is because you're hoping she'll eventually sleep with you... well, you're an idiot, obviously, but you're also not actually nice guy.</description>

		<description>Any guy who thinks any of this is just a self deluded narcissist. You can't get a girl, so you blame it on the girl? Don't you see why that's wrong? Since you obviously don't, that just reflects why you don't have a girlfriend.</description>

		<description>Most females have no clue *sigh*, It is not him being a baby or whinny it is the principle that most of the opposite sex mostly looks for a mate that will have Money, successful, good looking, and social views (friends,family,society, and others) Instead of what matters as passion, chemistry, and in the end love, who knows a good guy you forced in the friend zone could most likely make your life so much better no cause he worships you that's just dumb cause he cares</description>

		<description>happens all the time to me - has been for years. in the short term, call in sick and take three days to just stay away from all your normal places, things and people. in the long run, travel and get involved. or not. sometimes just a nap helps. make something. 

it's your life and there's no reason it can't be whatever you want. at best, stay home for an hour and just feel guilty that this is all your own choice. 

sometimes that's fun too.</description>

		<description>Admin: you speak absolute truth about obese/ugly women and baggage.  Though from the way I see it, "nice guys" that grovel and fuss have it about the same--that's my point.  Everyone wants to complain and feel entitled to nice mates while refusing to consider that they may come across as one giant walking deal-breaker to the opposite sex.  Whose fault is that?</description>

I'm the last person to be arrogant about my looks, I'm no supermodel... I'm the wallflower. But even a wallflower can tell the difference between real affection and the "nice guy" obsessing with you. That man is more man than any "nice guy" will ever be.

...tell me... why don't you nice guys just hook up with "nice girls?" whatever you just answered... that's why we don't date you. Hypocrites. All of you. Whiny hypocrites.</description>
