“Sadly, as a non-aggressive “nice guy”, I agree with you. Many times I’ve been told I was “too nice”. It wasn’t until I was in my 50s that I understood “too nice” really meant “not bad enough”.”
I am reasonably nice, I think. But I am also well along austism spectrum, which makes me very stoic. I am also very tall and a career military person.
The result is I look mean, without actually being mean.
So I get both worlds.
What do women want from a man to respect him... maturity, decisiveness, consistency, and strength.
Amazed how women are drawn to men who are not emasculated and confused.

It's not so much "nice-versus-bad". You just have to be careful that your niceness doesn't come across as wimpy and weak. Think "Han Solo" versus "Luke Skywalker" in the first Star Wars. Think of leading men in the history of the movie business who made women in the audience swoon. Humphrey Bogart. Clark Gable. Clint Eastwood. They could be jerks, but they came across as the kind of guy you wanted watching your back when the manure hit the fan. The strong Alpha male.
Ignore what women say, and look at the "romance novels" that women actually pay money for. Is the guy the girl swoons over ever that nice guy from accounting?
Nope, not the answer. Too many guys with $$$ marry a girl, only to see her divorce-rape him a few years later, walk off with all his $$$, and find out she was screwing some bad-boy biker the whole time she was married to him.
10 Things You Don’t Know About Women: Melora Hardin

1. We know men think breasts are like Barstow: just a short stop on the way to Vegas. But sometimes lingering a little longer at the places along the way can make for a more pleasant trip.
2. We’d much rather try on bras than see them on surgically altered, airbrushed supermodels, but we know how much you enjoy the Victoria’s Secret catalog. Consider it a gift.
3. It would be nice if just once you admitted you were unequivocally wrong and we were absolutely right, with no conditions attached.
4. We prefer a man who’s going to make $50 million to one who already has it. Women take potential over security every time.
5. A man’s hands and his taste in shoes tell women all we need to know. Make sure neither looks too much like ours.
6. When we tell you the new dress we bought was 50 percent off, you can just go ahead and mark it up about 30 percent.
7. Women take longer in the bathroom because, unlike men, we clean up after ourselves.
8. Even Harrison Ford isn’t cool with an earring.
9. We know it’s fun for you to come up behind us while we’re washing dishes and grab our breasts. Why not make it fun for us, too, and grab a dish while you’re at it?
10. Male sperm are faster getting to the egg but die sooner; female sperm are slower getting to the egg but live longer. See? It all starts at conception.
Melora Hardin begins her fourth season on NBC’s The Office in September and can be seen in The Comebacks, in theaters October 26.
Literally lol....good one!

An angry teenaged boy once declared to me, “I can’t wait til I can kick my dad’s ass!”
I said, “The problem with that is by the time you’re man enough to do it you’ll be too much of a man to do it.”
I saw the wheels turn before he grumbled, “Yeah.”
Philippians 3:2-14King James Version (KJV)
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
She maybe someone that could entertain your vain imagination....as a dog.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the phrase, lol!
May have to check that out, thank you!!
Nice car!
Did you ever think that you might be seeking the wrong kind of woman? Take a few minutes and make a list of what you really believe in important to you in a woman. Then think back about your previous choices and how they measure up to your list.
Consider the time you have left on this wonderful world. Do something different.
Best wishes, dear. I know how it is and I sympathize.
A gay Jewish man calls his mother. “Mother, I have good news and I have bad news.”
“I’m gay and I’m marrying my boyfriend.”
“Oy, vey!” she says, “What’s the good news?”
“He’s a doctor.”
LOL!!
