The Nice Guys Syndrome

Good point. I don't even know why some guys believe that crap anyways... I mean, if a girl is not attracted to you, nice guy or a gaping asshole, you are out of luck. Is it simply because they have difficulty moving on and think that staying friends will somehow make the girl realize what a catch the guy is? This is the reason i think most male/female friendships are far from platonic. Hanyways... anyone seen similar behavior demonstrated by women?

What I never could get is the "kiss-zone": when a girl loves to tongue-kiss the guy prolonged and very affectionately, isn't trying to tease him, but just won't have sex with him - even though she will have sex with other guys!  What is going on there?  Talk about a way to hurt your feelings! 

2017:

The "Nice Guy" tendencies are nothing to laugh at.  It's basically passive-aggressive/secretive behavior that's rooted in an incomplete understanding as to what women are attracted to.   The classic assumption is the belief that a woman will gradually learn to like them more as more opportunities for contact emerge to create a fuller picture of the man's traits.  Most men have "nice guy tendencies" to varying degrees and I think most men have wasted their time and money on women in this fashion.   Social conventions,  politically correct film/tv, and liberal social conditioning are also factors in this fundamental misunderstanding.

In return, women have absorbed these free attention, flattery, gifts and favors by dangling the possibility of sex like a lure on a fish hook.  without telling these men that they have no interest in having sex with them at all and/or raising the relationship to the next level.   And among the less humane/emphatic:  why would they?  They get free boosts to their self-esteem and exploit a clown or empathetic listening ear to entertain them.

Alexandra Morgan's current boyfriend is a male girlfriend for several years...I wonder if this is a relationship that's rooted in her opportunism/desperation or a rare relationship fluke.
