The problem is that so many people have a definition of “nice†I’m a nice person. I’m friendly and compassionate. I take in stray animals. But I stand up for myself when challenged. I think it’s great that formerly shy guys have a forum to strengthen your self-esteem and get over being “nice†The nice guy v jerks debate. well like you said many people think that you have to be one or the other. N that girls love jerks. Its not really true at all. I can’t stand jerks. They really annoy me. But what im attracted to is someone who stands up for himself and what they believe in. The problem with nice guys is that they let us get away with too much. They don’t draw boundaries of respect and us being girls, we are constantly testing to see where this line IS.
