I think this bears repeating
Look, none of you seem to be getting it, so I’ll try to explain one last time. “Nice guys” who are confident, decent looking (note: I said “decent” not “handsome” or “Fabio-like”), and have their act together financially, socially and emotionally are successful with women. In spades. “Nice guys” who are whiney, lonely and desparate (and lets face it, the only quality they have going for them is that they are “nice”) get rejected. If you think you’re the first kind, but you’re still getting rejected, odds are, you’re really the second kind.
