For every one that says 'But I'm a nice guy, why can't I get girls!'
The sad awful truth is.......if you want a girl you'll probably have to get a LOT better looking.

Hm. Not quite true. I consider myself quite good looking and a nice guy. I can get as many dates as I like, but it doesn't often go far past that. Yay me.

Quote:
Apparently, most women's taste in men changes over the monthly hormonal cycle. During her most fertile phase, a woman will go for the barbarian who may be vicious but looks like he could sire big, healthy children... But during the rest of the month, she'll tend more towards nicer-looking guys who look like they'll take care of children, be a good partner, etc.
I've heard that one too, and it seems to be right, but it's even worse than the scenario I described above (from the point of view of a non-barbarian) This means a woman will want the "nice guy" when she needs money, support, etc., but that she still wants the barbarian for sex (and she'll sometimes go to him to get it too).
Very irritating.
-Laelth
Yes i see your point, but i should point out that this idea of a woman wanting a nice guy to build a family while having the barbarian to sleep with is one that i often here quoted only by barbarians ( this incledes snubbed "nice guys" who are actually a more sinister kind of barbarian than the ogre type.
The ones that take rejection badly are the ones who make these sad little theories.

What About This....
I haven't heard anyone mention strong work ethic. Sometimes you can be nice or a barbarian and still have a strong work ethic. That is to say that this sort of guy speaks through his actions rather than his mouth.
Barbarian who works hard: Words are not his strong point. This fella doesn't do too well when speaking to the ladies. He has little to say but much to give. Perhaps he offers her a secure future with a stable home. I think this guy would have a more difficult time getting quantity of dates and phone numbers. I also think that the ladies might misunderstand his shortness of speech to be a problem. A man like this might often have a good job, loyal friends, and an honorable outlook on life. To me, this guy would make an excellent role model for his children, and a healthy contribution to the community in which he lives. The problem is that you won't be able to know what kind of a man he is unless you spend the time it takes to understand him.

Something I read from somewhere, which I found highly amusing. 
A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, "you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way." This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, "You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired."

cheer up, fellas. I've got the answers to your nice guy problems.
okie's surefire tips for dudes lookin for love (from ladies):
- be good-looking in a "I don't give a crap about how i look" kinda way. If it looks like you tried too hard to make yourself look good, it oozes desperation, unless you are rich. If it looks like you tried too hard to look like you don't care about how you look, you are a loser.
- steal something of hers and then give it back to her, claiming she left them somewhere and you are returning it.
- beat up her ex-boyfriend.
- be nice to all of her friends but indifferent to her.
- get really drunk and talk really dirty to her at a bar.
- you need to be an extreme: you need to either be a macho man or a village person; either way you need to be a gay man.
- don't take this advice seriously (except maybe the one about stealing something and giving it back to her...that's how my mom met my dad)

it's what he stole from her, and it was her purse (of all awful things to steal), which he returned to her about an hour later when he "bumped into her" at lunch, claiming that she had left it in the classroom where they both had a class.

Hqahahaha...when I clicked the links and even after I copied and pasted them...I got some search engine and my results were something akin to Edible Spineless Cactus.
Seriously. LOL
I will have to go on this one purely by the seat of my pants and going off of others comments here....LOL
I don't think there is anything wrong with being a nice guy and they dont always finish last.
My husband of almost 10 years is one of those nice guys and I thank my stars everyday that he is.
I think women as they get older start to understand that the jerk men out there will always be jerks and start to seek out those nice guys to settle down with.
Anyway...just my thought on it.

Nice guys, the curse
after reading this i am reminded of the many relationships that i have been in, from one nite stands to marriage and divorce. i have been called a nice guy for many years. but i don't feel that i am being called a nice guy for being needy or any of the other traits that where listed on the article or what has been stated here. there are a few here that know me personally and i think they would agree that i am not what the article states.
so i think that there is a another answer to this situation than what is told. what do women want, really? sometimes i don't think they know, as they are to worried about what the guy "really" wants. here lies the problem with most relationships. yes i am going to generalize, most men generally say what they mean, no hidden agendas, just what they mean. the woman on the other hand thinks about the way she states her wants and needs and thinks the man is up to something. so a man that wishes to please his lady is actually wanting something in return. not the case.
there are just some women out there that needs the barbarian to feel alive, and the idea of being with the "nice guy" is something they want to try, to find out what it is like to be treated with respect, but this turns them off. there is no drama, and becomes boring. so they make up their own drama.
i don't think it is the guy that needs to change to having a more barbaric attitude, i think the woman has an oppurtunity to learn that life doesn't have to be about drama. woman can find that there are many ways to make life exciting without drama in their lives. something that both can do together, that is what a relationship is suppose to be about. not constant conflict in a relationship. nothing chips away at a relationship like constant conflict.
a man can be a nice guy and still have confidence, i have never been accused of not having confidence. the things i have done in my life will tell you that much.
as to the author of this lovily article, i think she is the one that lacks confidence and is a very needy and clingy person. she has no idea of what she is saying, as she doesn't understand the true nice guy, the one that is confident, but wishes to please at the same time. there is nothing wrong with pleasing your other half. as long as you don't sacrafice yourself along with it. this works both ways.
