The "Nice Guy" complex

I'm sorry, but from my experience with girls, you could be absolutely perfect for them in terms of your personality, interests, general looks (relative equality~) while being "too nice" (e.g. just being a nice person, without actually being overly pleasant) can sometimes make you less attractive than an absolute prick; believe me, I've been very nice to girls that I got on extremely well with and they rejected me, then I was an absolute jerk to another similar girl and she went out with me in pretty much otherwise exactly the same conditions. face it - girls, many of them at least, a lot of the time, just don't like being treated well.

But my point is right. I assumed we're talking about normal guys, not someone that lacks confidence? I mean, you can be a model and if you lack confidence still not be successful.

Confident matters, but only once you meet a girls minimum looks barrier. Most girls don't consider average men so no amount of confidence or other over compensation [Huge body built on roids etc] outside of extreme wealth or status will make you attractive to her.

simply not true. In fact it's the other way around.

Also add in the fact that 80% of women only found 20% of men attractive:

Guys are much more forgiving on looks. A male 7 will still give a female 5 a chance, a girl just needs to not be physically deformed or fat [Even fat girls online get attention thought but seldom in real life]. Just being average alone is enough to exclude you in 80% of women's eyes.

Go to any club and see the attention the average, slightly chubby female receives. You will notice that good looking men are giving her attention, maybe not male models but decently good looking blokes who are in shape.

You're refusing to look outside a system, clubbing, where there's clearly a huge gulf in willingness of men and women to have one night stands, no wonder your views are so off. And a one night stand is naturally going to be more based on looks. You want to look at relationships to get a more rounded idea.

Eventually you'll meet a guy who isn't good looking who gets ****loads of girls and realise things are more complex than you realise.

what about this then:

But men need to be exceptionally attractive to tempt women to consider casual sex, they say.....



Actual science and studies agreeing with my observations.

He doesn't even need to consider relationships, he could just look at all the other sex, the 1, 2, 3 night stands people have in any scenario other than the stereotypical "met her in a club and ****ed her on the same night" clubbing one, that happens a lot less (as a %) than people think.

That's rare. If you're ugly then your options are limited. Lets stop pretending that looks don't matter, because they do.

Why would you want to get into a relationship with a girl who has gone through many men whereas you have barely had your share of the girls?

I've also clearly stated that looks do matter, but people, especially younger, more inexperienced guys, overestimate how much they matter for guys. Looks are important, confidence is more important.

Well if nothing else you get far far more sex in a relationship than you ever could pulling. Then there are the obvious non-sex related benefits. It is working nicely for me.

I guess that's one way of looking at it. Just don't put too much into the relationship and be ready to break it off any time.

Personally, if I was sexually inexperienced and hadn't gotten many girls I could never get into a relationship with a girl who has had many partners.

I wouldn't mind it though if I had also had my fair share of partners though.

Or, you know, you could look at it in a less cynical and negative way? It amazes me how you can look at women and relationships with an attitude like yours and be surprised you don't get anywhere with them. Funnily enough not putting much into relationships and being ready to break it off at any time is not a massive turn on for the ladies.

Like I said I would not prefer to be in a relationship with a sexually experienced woman if I wasn't experienced myself.

If I was experienced then yes I wouldn't care about her past experiences.

How can you not understand the dynamic that establishes?

In your theory then, where do you think looks and confidence rank and at which time is it the point of diminishing returns?

For example I say the better looking you are than the girl the less and less confidence you need BUT she needs to be sexually attracted to you first through your physical traits.

In that sense confidence matter but looks is a necessary requirements. Without the looks there is no point of confidence by itself.

So this means that you can't get her through no amount of confidence or personality if you don't meet her physical standard.

So for simplicity sakes, say we take a girl who's an average 5/10. If you're a 5/10 you'd need insane confidence and a good body.

If you're a 6 you'd need confidence but not so much.

If you're a 7 you'd just need to be socially adjusted and not be a total inept retard

If you're an 8+ you don't even need to open your mouth etc.

find a girl who is not very sexually experienced then. And that still doesn't change the fact you have a very negative view of relationships and women, which naturally means you will find it difficult to get either as a result.

Never had a ONS so I can't say much about that, but for relationships looks do not matter nearly as much as you say.

I'd say you need a base level of looks with any girl, but that base level can be pretty low, even with very attractive girls, if you have enough other qualities. And you pretty much always need some confidence. This is one way movies have lied to us, they often portray stuttering and insecure guys as cute and charming. Doesn't really work in reality, sadly.

You can't just assign numbers to people, it's so negative, and overly simplistic. It depends on the girl. Is she insecure? Does she feel comfortable? Is she willing to have casual sex?

You always need to "open your mouth", because most women don't approach men. How is anything going to happen if this "eight out of ten" guy doesn't talk to the girl? Most girls won't talk to him.

Ignore out of tens, leagues, all this ****, it's simple.
- See an attractive girl. Don't worry about how attractive she is relative to you, just go for it.
- Walk over confidently
- Smile and say hello
- Make her laugh
- Make her feel secure around you
- Flirt, but don't make her feel pressured

I'm not saying it's easy, but it is simple. Whereas looking round thinking "oh, she's an eight, I'm only a six, maybe I can get a seven if there aren't any eight guys around", that's never going to get you laid.

Lets face it, with your theory couples like this are impossible-

I don't know anything about this guy, but I can guarentee he did three things- he made her laugh, he appeared confident and he made her feel secure.

How do I have a negative view of women? All I've said is that they prioritise looks over anything else.


I accept the fact that look don't matter as much for relationships. An average looking guy can get a girl looksmatches with him, perhaps even slightly higher if he has things in his life sorted.

But in this world of supposed sexual liberation what's the point of just relationships when the 7+ guys are getting new girls everyday?

I can't see the pic but I accepted a that looks don't matter nearly as much for relationships where you can use status and money to leverage any advantage the good looking guys have.

But just think 50 years ago all what a man needed was masculinity and a stable job, looks pretty much never factored into it.

Now a guy needs a good job [Definitely needs to earn more than her], looks, tall, a good body, confidence to get a girl with the same looks as him into a relationship. The role of masculinity and the prioritisation of it by women has definitely gone down, I personally put this down to women becoming more masculine as a whole [and vice versa for men].

I am generally talking about casual sex before though but relationships are definitely a different beast altogether. Getting into one isn't as hard as maintaining one with your dignity and respect in tact.
