    Confident, strong women always go for the nice guy. Women who put up with a man who treats them with disrespect don't really believe they deserve respect, because of esteem problems or guilt or some other reason. Also, a lot of women can't handle being alone, so they'll put up with some jerk until the nice guy comes along - or they'll stay with the jerk and think they can turn him into a nice guy. It's more complex than that, but I think that gets to the heart of it.

    • Sweetguy, you had me confused for a minute, but I understand now. Women can be just as visually oriented as men when choosing a mate. The first thing you usually know about someone is how they look, so a lot of perfectly nice guys are filtered out during the initial vetting process. I believe that, by nature, both men and women initially seek out people who are at least as attractive as they are or the best looking person their own looks will attract. It's not true all the time. When you see a beautiful woman with a mediocre looking guy, he probably has 1. money 2. power or 3.a personality that she found irresistable (the latter only happens with prolonged exposure, like at work).
      Now, I'll ask a sensitive question. Is it possible that you are doing much the same? Ignoring women who are equal to you in the looks department and shooting only for extremely attractive women who might be out of your league? Please don't take offense. I don't even know what you look like.

    • Just to add to the above comment. When I wrote it I was thinking I was talking to the initial thread-starter. You may not be having a problem with women at all, in which case, what I just wrote is irrelevant.
