A nice guy has all the nice attributes but bears no backbone, not adventurous, easy to walk over, kiss women's a** often, highly predictable, cookie whooped, etc... Women will test men to see how much and how far they can get away with stuff, and if a woman feels like she can walk over him, he's deemed too nice and she's not interested.
There's nothing wrong with being nice, but a man must have a backbone, don't come across as being weak, be adventurous, spontaneous, spice things up, be assertive and a host of other things. The bottom line, be versatile and not a suck up and kiss ass.

Depends Stumpy
Your up bringing. Your inner self. Your religion or none there which.
Like for instance, you people see me in all different lights depending on your personal perspective of life values.
Look at Muslims and Christians, that's on a broader perspective, but a parable nonetheless.
As you know, we are all different, not just our physical make up but or up bringing too. Look at the diversity in these United States. Heck there was a national war over difference of opinion, least we not forget. I need to dramatics, yet factual, to get the point across.
And it doesn't stop there, even our inner selves.
Hey, thirty years ago when in the military I had buds who had the pick up line, " hey B if I follow you home will you keep me for a few days?", and they were all most always taken up on it. I never did, but was asked ti gigolo lol no, never did.
Roll with it?????

Ok gals looks like this thread needs some more female perspectives .......
Nice guy ....... this can be broken down in so many ways. I think a nice guy is someone who is easy to talk to, one that also listens to what the conversaton is about. And yes someone with maners. He is unually one who is comfortable within himself that shines to those around him.
nice guy - is not always followed with BUT..... As we age, there is just some qualities that are more important than when we were younger, that we want and need. 
Some of us are looking for that nice guy and not a kiss asssssss but its a quality first looked for, with many of us. We dont want a dork. ......we are not interested in someone who is stuck on themselves, etc. Yet each of them have some qualities too. I'm not looking to rule the roost but to have equal parts and say. I have met a few men and I think on the most part they are all "Nice Guys". Just not what all, I am looking totally for, but a plus!

The whole problem is the phrase....
" You're a really nice guy, BUT...."
means you are not her nice guy.....
Nice is just a word, and the whole drama is that it gets used to let people down easily......
don't worry about the labels, guys....just be yourselves, be someone you can be proud to see in the mirror, and a very good woman will be there shortly. So many people try to use the bait to find someone, whether it be niceness, money, looks....whatever. You aren't going to find someone to love YOU by being someone else!

Laugh my a** off, too nice? there's a difference between being nice and getting walked on. You react to the situation you're given, if you're nice to me, I'll be even nicer to you. If you're not, I simply won't be with you, easy as that.

Symptoms of Nice Guy Syndrome:
-Goes all out to please his lover, even at his inconvenience.
-Usually indecisive
-A "yes man", I.E. avoids arguing, even if it means going against what he believes
-Gets insecure if he sees his lady talking to other guys
-Rarely flirts with other people when in a committed relationship
-Overly concerned about hurting women (physically or emotionally)
-Calls her several times daily
-Takes every rejection from women personally

Everyone has both good and bad qualities. Some have more of one than the other, and we all have had different experiences and opinions...so what may be "nice" to me might be considered a schmuck by someone else. I think my main qualifier for a guy to be considered "nice" would be honesty and respect.

A "nice guy" is a genetic dead end.
Women want to squirm under a winner, and he usually isn't all that "nice."
As long as you don't disrespect her in front of family or friends, and ask nothing of her except sex........she will fool herself into believing she is in love with you.
Good luck...

Nice is in the eye of the beholder.. Some people like assertive men while others like the ones who show a lot of emotions...
I want someone who is strong minded won't give me everythang I want, but will also be there for me when I need him..
The men that show emotions all the time don't mean there not a nice guy but I know me well enough to know Its not a good type of relationship for me and my personality..

I do not mean to open e discussion with you but pleeease stop with this overrated BS of the boring good guy, and the intriguing son-of-a-b*tch. PLEASE! Then all guys around, will convince themselves that they have to act like jerks in order to attract women...and the result of those BS is a complete mess already.

To me a good guy is no necessarily spineless, he eventually can kick asses; the difference is that the bad guy kicks asses randomly to attract the attention, the good guy kicks only the asses that deserve to be kicked, just because is fear; and others can think what they want.

stumppy in my opinion u swing (not sexually) from someone i would like 2 saying something that offends--- i dont know if u think its smart or what? i like humour so maybe if u put a laugh icon i will know u aren't serious=== once u really took me by surprise and i thought omg hes one of those---no respect 4 women---hurtful degrading after that i never say stumppy (POO-meaning friend) 2 u, cuz i thought ur rude---now if i talk rude and u tell me, i will say sorry 4 it--even if i didn't offend on purpose u treat women's assets dont have a better word---what makes them women in a degrading way now humour is fine-- - laughter i like--but pure attack NO. we need to feel what makes us woman our biology is soft beautiful respected and sacred-  --not vulgar and ugly and of no value except 2 be used. nice guys have that sweet awe of a woman--like her femininity is sacred-:::rose:   --they never use vulgarity to describe it. i like nice men--- we dont need 2 be degraded then we end up degrading u

my dead hubby let me know---when i was heading the wrong way--- but not in a vulgar way--- he realize i had feelings--- he wasn't perfect--- but he tried---he didn't use abuse be disrespectful and tell me he could have anyone like me , women come a dime 4 a dozen he valued me--so i tried to deeply respect him if u start calling women (i speak 4 myself) degrading things u lower her self esteem --y would u do that on purpose? its hard 2 respect a man who doesn't respect u,---so u grow cold and distance and use him and speak 2 him the bad way he spoke 2 u, women need kind sincere words and then u will get more physical intimacy from them--they wont just oblige u like its a job. this is my opinion

So far the only thing I'm getting from the guys is that they are afraid to be thought of as being wusses if someone says they are nice, and from the ladies that they say someone is nice is when they are blowing them off the potential list. Which is why guys don't want to be nice.
But the ladies b*tch if the guy acts unnice.
