I was Stumbling tonight and came across this article on why nice guys usually finish last. If you’re a women, it’s one of those things that you’ll read and nod along with, because it is RIGHT on. I was terrible to the nice guys I dated! And it starts young too…one of my main reasons for dating a guy in the 10th grade was because he had a car and could get me to and from school. I was a horrid little bitch to him. Guy who took me to homecoming and who was my first boyfriend in high school? Same story. I wanted the asshole who wanted to make out under the bleachers at the football game and then ignore me on Monday. The guy who had a crush on me at work and brought me flowers? Nice guy…creeped the hell out of me because he was into me too much, too quickly. Women can sense desperation like dogs can sense fear, and women like me don’t like it.

When I met Jim, and he didn’t immediately fall head over heels for me, I was into it. I loved the challenge! We’d date, break up, get back together…and through it all, I was completely into it. He didn’t need me to find something to do on a Friday night, he didn’t put me on a pedestal, and he didn’t tell me he loved me for MONTHS. He was a nice person (not an asshole like some of the guys I’d been with), always treated me well, and he was a great guy to be with, but he wasn’t a “nice guy” like those other guys!

So fess up ladies…if you’re married now, did you settle for a nice guy? Or did you take the challenge, like I did? I’m interested to see how many of you agree with the article above.

My husband was the nice guy. We had not been dating long the first time he told me he loved me. That freaked me out and I didn’t speak to him for 2 weeks. He really grew on me and now we’ve been married 17 years! But I totally understand being drawn to the bad boys!

You are still mean to nice guys. I am a nice guy and you have called me a pussy two days running LOL

Fabby, that’s my way of being nice. Trust me – you wouldn’t want me to be mean to you! I call you a pussy because I love too much.

I wish I had a nice guy… I’m having guy issues as it is. *sigh*

I was a “nice guy” until college and I figured out chicks don’t dig nice guys. High school was pretty rotten for me as all the “bad boys” got all the ladies.

Luckily for me, I never went completely to the dark side and the whole bad boy thing for me was really a front. Once women/my wife got to know me, they figured out I really was a nice guy. That was fine, though, it is only the initial dating and the chase where the bad boy image was needed.

Game playing? Sure. Immature? You bet. But, it got the job done.

I passed over at least three nice guys who proposed. REALLY nice guys. I picked the asshole in the end and now we’re divorced.
