"he is a really sweet guy"
The kiss of death
The one girl I liked the most told me I was nice and sweet. (She also said at one point that I was sexy, handsome and had a nice ass, but I killed any attraction she had for me by being naive - never again). She was a genuinely gorgeous girl too, she had the long black curly hair and a pretty face (she had the greatest pair of tatas ever....).
Point being, it never pays to be the sweet guy. Save that for the actual relationship - if you manage to get into one. All the things I did without trying to be sweet was working for me and I didn't even know it. I'm naturally nice anyway, but when I over did it, it was clear I was going to end up with blue balls at some point loool

There's nothing wrong with being genuinely nice at all. But as you get older, you will begin to realise that there are a plethora of attributes you can allocate to your character (it's likely that you already have some on top of being "nice")
I started to amplify other sides of my character and I began to flourish socially, but because of my initial lack of confidence around girls, I would shrink into nice mode and that would be the only side of me they see.
Try and cultivate other sides of your personality, buy books, attend free seminars & courses or whatever, just seek to do something that you enjoy or that you think will benefit you. And tell anyone who thinks your stupid to F*** off or just ignore them . Take up a martial art, that will put a stop to the insults lol

very wisely put, also if a girl ever says "ur so sweet" its not a dead end, if u want her more than just a friend and are willing to gamble with that in mind, just take a break from her, spend sometime with some friends focus on a hobby, i hav found that in most cases, if theres realy something there, doing this usualy brings the life back into the relationship

Oh yes, I certainly agree (have seen this happen)

Lots of women have said that I'm really sweet but almost none of em were actually interested in me so I think few women are attracted to sweet guys but I was extremely lucky & found a woman who is & she's soo sweet herself that I cant help but be sweet with her

I spend a lot of time thinking about what kind of women are likely to be sexually excited by the unguarded, childlike men. I'd guess those who are unguarded themselves, and/or have more dominant, "butch" personalities.
I think your guessing isn't accurate, I'd guess that women who likely to be be sexually excited by "the unguarded, childlike men" are a very small minority, even far smaller than a group of particular type of women.
I agree with the boo here. It generally attracts women who want to mother you, not date you. And that isn't a proper relationship. They want to boss you around and do stuff for you and speak for you, not get "sexually excited" by you.
I think I shouldn't have used the word childlike cause that brings up all kinds of weird incestuous/pedophiliac connotations.
I don't want to boss anyone around. I just find sweetness attractive.
Like... sweetheart. I think I use words that contain "sweet" in a way different to most people. I don't use it the way waitresses who aren't even paying attention to you use it with both sexes. And not like mothers use it with their kids. I don't know. To me it means endearing in an enthralling sort of way.

I think they mean considerate and overall good boyfriend material, but they don't want to date him because they are in a relationship or aren't attracted to them sexually/romantically.
I think one of my neighbors called my other neighbor a "sweet guy" once, and he did have many qualities a lot of women seem to look for in a man, such that even I started to wonder why he was single because I couldn't really see any reason why he'd have trouble getting one except for bad luck. I think he just wasn't seeing anything he liked at the time though. He's no longer single.

I think that's most often the culprit.

Not always. I fit that definition of sweet & it's NOTHING like what hale_bopp mentioned with Megz . I think she likes me because I'm very caring, supportive & would do most anything for her. She is NOT like a mom with me at all

I think you are a rare case. You managed to find someone who is sexually attracted to sweet guys, which is a good thing for you both.

She says she doesn't experience sexual attraction so that cant be it. I DEFIANTLY think it's a good thing whatever it is

I'd like a mother figure who is sexually attracted to me. Maybe I just have really strong repressed Oedipal desires
