    Look for a guy that is polite,courteous,caring,responsible,intelligent and so on and that is the nice person or whatever name someone wants to call it.

    That's what I am looking for. Well said sir.
  • Someone genuinely nice!!
    A proper man, who is a true gentleman :)

    yes angie, I need an inbetweener lol....someone who wont let me walk all over them but isn't a douche....where can I pick one of those up????
    Agreed! I haven't found one yet. I usually go for the bad guys just wish they looked that way but did not act that way.

    Bad boys are more fun, that's why you like them.
  • Bad boys are usually more confident, women like confidence.

    This is exactly it.

    how do you define "bad boy"?
    how do you define "good guy"?

    There's a difference between confident and cocky. Confidence is sexy and has nothing to do with being a 'bad boy'. Cockiness is UGLY.

    I used to date good guys, but as I have been changing, so has my taste. Really, when the good guys find out what I do and how well I do it (kickboxing), they run anyway lol. That works for me -- I don't want a man I can beat up!! lol

    I'm short but strong, and I still want what all women want -- a man who makes them feel safe and secure. For me, that seems to be a certain type -- a man's man. A mix of good and bad who is in shape (or on their way there).

    I have my eye on one, and oohhhh that man scares the crap out of me...but in a good way! I'd never feel like his mother (like I did with the "good" boys), and he'd be able to dominate me physically (even though he wouldn't)...which is a real turn on! lol

    YES! This is exactly the problem. I am a very strong willed, argumentative, stubborn pain in the *kitten* so I need to find a nice guy that won't let me walk all over him. I also have an addiction to musicians which means they are overemotional, generally immature, and flaky as all hell which is not fun either.

    Mr. Perfect = Smart, confident, self-aware, funny, into music, art and theatre, open minded, committed but not clingy, with a killer smile.

    This is why I am perpetually single....

    Grey area.

    There's nearly always a grey area.

    As long as a man doesn't remind me of a doormat, child, or puppy, I have no problem with him being nice.
  • My life is slowly playing out like an episode of the Bachelorette.
    I was seeing a very nice boy, but then a bad boy who's been in and out of my life just showed up again after a few months of no communication and stole my heart.
    I asked him out and he said yes, but we haven't spoken since then (March 16).
    I should have given the final rose to the other boy!

    ok, backstory time...gone out with a guy a couple times...super nice, I don't think he could argue with someone to save his life, agrees with everything I say...drives me INSANE!!!! I would be so bored staying with him...does the "bad boy element" add a spark to the realtionship, i think it does.


    Is this the farmer?


    yes, the farmer...

    I see it a lot and don't understand it. Just because you want a little excitement, doesn't mean you have to deal with a person that treats you badly.

    I like listening to the gal that wants a "dangerous" guy, then b*tches about being treated like crap or stood up or posting bail for their tough guy wannabe.

    I'd prefer to be responsible and have a woman that wants a responsible man. and...I am...and she does.

    For the record, my definition of a "nice guy" isn't one who is meek and timid and boring and lets women get away with treating him like garbage. To me, a "nice guy" (I actually prefer the term "good man") is one who is honest, has a solid work ethic, respects himself, and treats others the way he expects to be treated.

    Absolutley! I love good guys! Never liked a bad guy, if people aren't nice to others I find that really unattractive. My guy is a good guy but definitely NOT a push over, he rules the roost and lets me feel protected and 'girly' without ever being nasty or getting angry at me. I really got lucky!

    Well, a nice guy should always finish last....take that however your mind lets you.

    but honestly the "bad boys" are usually more confident, of course that is because a lot of them are jerks, and are just gonna brush it off and move on to the next lady.
    And the nice guys a lot of the time, are intimidated by women, that was always my problem when i was younger and a lot of the nice guys never get over the fear of rejection.

    I always went for the 'bad boys'. After a LOT of heartache, I finally dug to the root of the problem and found out that it was for two reasons. First, I thought I could "fix" them - yea, that doesn't work - and second, because I didn't think I deserved someone to treat me the way I wanted to be treated.

    With age comes wisdom. Bad boys are nothing but drama and heartache. Eleven years ago I found the NICEST man. He respects me, he makes me laugh, he loves me and I have never been happier in my life. :)

    My hubby's an inbetweener.

    I must admit, though, it was his sweetness that made me fall for him. He used to cry when I sang to him, and he told me he loved me on the first night. Usually, that'd make me feel uncomfortable, and it did at first, but it made me fall for him.

    That, and the sex.

    (and him, ofc :D)

    It's been said we respect others for their strengths but love them for their weaknesses. If that's true it's easy to see why we might be attracted to the ones with an edge. It can be similar for us men with women we're attracted to. I respect nuns but couldn't love one.

    There are however individuals who have that edge, are confident not cocky and still solid people. My gf fits that description and I think I do to.

    I like a nice guy. But someone who also knows what he wants & has a little fire to him. I occasionally need someone to put me in my place because i can be bit of a b!tch sometimes. So i dont want a guy to tell me that he agrees with everything i do. I want someone who will tell me when im being an @$$hole. because i would do the same for him.

    So i guess someone inbetween.

    I tend to like my women a bit edgy. decisive, passionate, driven and honest. I can't stand the nicey-nice broads who go behind their friend's back and talk bad about them, but in front of them act like they're such best friends blah blah

    I could continue on for hours, I'm sure

    I know opposites supposedly attract, but I have always been attracted to women as bat-poop crazy as me. Oh sure there were some sane ones in there along the way, but the ones I really clicked with? Certifiable.

    That being said, it doesn't mean we don't like men with compassion and good hearts. But we need men to have some balls.
