No it's not, it's pretty much written from the point of view that almost every guy who is nice (except the OP of course) is also weepy, sappy, overbearing, smothering, and a doormat. That's pretty original. It would have been fine except for the OP attributing his description to "the majority of nice guys". It's not the majority, it's a small minority. And if it is truly causing YOU problems, I think maybe the problem is elsewhere.

I might not agree with it, but it was well written :).

Why don't girls like nice guys? Because nice guys are fvcking boring. Girls want someone exciting more than they want someone who is polite and curteous.

Bullsh!t. Fear is a more poweerful emoiton than love. PERIOD

1. Girls don't like nice guys cause usually they're weepy, or put girls on pedestals, which is actualy demeaning like the girl isn't good enough as she is.
2. Usually they call too much, or are too available, so it's a complete turn off/smothering experience with a girl.
3. They give in to any whim of a girl, which sets no limits for the girl, and basically makes you seem like a sap.
4. More often than not nice guys are weepy. If the girl liked girls, she'd be a lesbian. Don't act like a girly man.
5. A-holes usually don't care, so they don't over-compliment the girl
6. They don't smother, or act like pansies
7. So when compared to a nice guy, sometimes mean guys are a better choice, they let the girl be herself, and they act like real men.
8. You're all lazy bastards, it was only like 4 paragraphs.

Yeah. We need cliffs of these cliffs. Too much to read.
