Nice Guys and Love, what's your take on the issue
i think some people who try to be nice don't realise they come across as being more of a push over
especially all these "nice guys" who complain about being walked over... if you weren't a push over people wouldn't be walking all over you
i think some people who try to be nice don't realise they come across as being more of a push over

OK, what exactly is a "push-over"?

OK, what exactly is a "push-over"?
someone who is easily manipulated into doing something they don't want to do; has no strong convictions of their own so will do whatever someone tells them to; or let's others have their way even if they don't really agree to it... usually occurs due to a desperation to want to be liked, come across as being a nice person, or to avoid conflict...
etc. etc..
These are the reasons why nice guys fail I believe. But I also have another belief and I'm curious as to how many agree with me on this. Since nice guys are often rejected because of their shyness, girls tend to go out with guys that exude confidence, and who also tend to be jerks after a while. This is my opinion, I think that girls who reject nice guys and date jerk-type guys more than deserve the heartache they will eventually feel, whether it be a bad breakup, being used, or whatever else. I'm not saying that every girl has to date one particular nice guy, but I'm saying that if a girl rejects a nice guy for a jerk, isn't it fitting that she pay the consequence of her choice? Kind of like the physics principle "For every reaction there is a opposite and equal reaction"? Just my thoughts, tell me what you guys think
Arrogance and confidence go hand in hand with accomplishments. Back in the caveman days, a female would need to find a strong and capable man to protect her and her family from mountain lions and to go out and kill animals for dinner.
It's no different today. Women want a strong and confident man that can take care of them, and give them a good lifestyle. Usually, the shy, nice guy isn't seen as assertive. Women want a man who takes charge, and goes after what he wants and gets it. This requires confidence, and being cocky shows the world you're overly confident in yourself. Women eat this up.
They need to have a man that they can respect and be confident in their abilities. By being a cocky, arrogant guy, you show women that you ARE confident and that you demand their respect. Subconsiously, women are attracted to this. They feel safe and they know you'll take care of them --- that's why nice guys finish last. Nice guys don't show women their value to them, and cocky guys do.
Women need that "as*hole" quality sometimes, to spark a real physical attraction to a man. Being a nice guy just shows women that you are a good person, and in that respect, you will never be seen by her as more than a "friend." To bypass the "friend" stage, you need to act like a real man and show her that you can do what it takes to be confident and take charge. It's strange and seems not logical, but this is all played out subconciously. Why do you think women run back to men that treat them like crap? Because they know men that treat them like crap are confident that they can find another women --- and that confidence alone keeps that hanging around. It's sick, but if played correctly, women will LOVE you for it.
Generalisations, generalisations...
NOT. ALL. WOMEN. ARE. THE. SAME.

I used to have a friend that is a perfect example of this. Let's call him Jimmy. Jimmy was a genuine nice guy. He was the first guy that girls would run to after their boyfriends dumped them. He would let them cry on his shoulder, he would talk on the phone with them and comfort them. All in all, he was a great, nice, and genuine guy.
The problem was this; he never got women. Don't get me wrong, he had a lot of women friends and women liked him. But women have something called the "friend zone." Once you're in the "friend zone" you automatically do not have a penis. Any man in a women's "friend zone" will become a women like her. She will see you as a girlfriend. The ironic part is, when guys are stuck in this zone, they try being even nicer and even more available to her. Just like a good girlfriend would be to her. They can never break that friend zone barrier and she will never see him as a man that she could have any attraction to.
Now I had another friend, who I work with now. Let's say his name is Stan. This guy gets so many women and so much sex it's incredible. Not just sex and women, but he gets great women that are incredibly good looking and easy to be with. He has great long term relationships and lots of short time flings. Women are no problem to him. Now Stan is a nice guy too, but he's cocky. He's a little arrogant, and he always teases women and treats even the hottest women without a single shred of niceness. Especially really hot women that expect to be treated like a queen -- he just snubs them off and teases them. Or h e makes them chase him if he wants to get with them. He doesn't wait hand and foot, and if a girl tries to come crying to him about their recent breakup, he'll joke around and play it off, make them laugh, and end up sleeping with them right there!
No of course not all women are like this. Some women do like nice guys but it's rare. Being a little cocky and teasing women makes you out to be confident. THEY have to CHASE you, not the other way around. Didn't you ever know a guy that just doesn't care about women, but it seems he's got an abundance of women all around him wanting to date him? And then there's the desperate nice guy that is so good to all the women he meets, and has a lot of female friends, but never gets women? That's because he doesn't have the personality type to attract women. He's too nice and he's like a big teddy bear, not a real man.
I'm an aspie too but not a full blown -- I'm a mild aspie. However, I am sort of a cocky person in general and that has led me to success with women. However, it's something that has to be learned. Too much cockiness will make women think you're an ass, and being too nice will make women think you're a woman. There's a fine balance of being nice and being mean sometimes --- that's the secret to getting women.
Simply put, women look for these characteristics in a man:
- Whit
- Charm
- Aggression
- Self confidence
- Humor
If you notice, every single one of these traits directly related to being confident. I don't care if she's Adriana Lima and you're scared to death. Don't be. She's just a women, not a goddess...she can smell your confidence a mile away. Just do it, and don't care about it. That's the secret. Eye contact, make jokes, show confidence and be positive...don't be negative and don't compliment her.
Example --- I asked out a woman recently that works at the bank as a teller. She's pretty good looking, I would say she's a 7/10, not my usual This is how it went:
(she's holding a big stack of twenties)
Me: Well my birthday isn't until next week, but thanks! (holding out hand)
Her: (laughs) No No this isn't for you!
Me: Then what's it for?
Her: I have to count it and record it
Me: Hmm don't they have machines for that?
Her: Yea but I'm better
Me: Oh yeah? Well I better bring my deposits to you from now on then
Her: Haha, yea you better! is it really your birthday?
Me: Yes it is...what are you going to get me?
Her: I don't know what do you want?
Me: Well I was going to ask for a big stack of twenties, but I don't think you can do that
Her: No!
Me: Ok fine (smirking) Why don't we have dinner instead. What's your number? (put my deposit slip down so she can write it down)
She writes her number down, and I say "well then, I'll speak to you soon." smile and walk away
I called her a few days later, and I'm meeting her up for dinner on Saturday. I'm not picking her up. She can drive herself
Now of course this conversation was painfully difficult for me. But I fake it well. My whole life is a movie script. I just learn to copy other people and things I see on tv or read in books. My heads a giant roladex .... I just flip it to the right place and use the right lines when I need to. It works. NTs are VERY predictible.
Any ways, yes, this took me a long time to learn and I mess up sometimes. But watch sitcoms and learn stupid jokes. They may sound stupid on tv, but in real life, being witty is key -- women eat that up like you wouldn't believe. It showcases your confidence and intelligence simultaneously.
Now I know what some of the women on this board are going to say. They'll call me stupid and sexist and blahblah blah. But for the men on this forum, we all know how frustrating womens games and mixed signals can be. Don't be mad if someone figured it out and we're taking advantage of your system.

We don't *have* a system, at least not that I've seen. Also, even if women play games, it's not limited to women. Men do it too.

Well I suppose "game" is not the fair term. Maybe a better term is "instincts" or "biology." I really do believe the things women want from men are subconsious and programmed into their DNA.
Women are physically more delicate than men genetically. It's not sexist, it's the truth. Men are born with larger muscles and a different bone structure. The reason women are built physically weaker and men are built physically stronger is because the men are supposed to take care of the women. It's very simple. Perhaps back in the caveman days, the men would flex their muscles and kill a mammoth to show the women they are worthy to procreate with them. But in todays society, we are much more refined and the way we show our strength and ability to take care of our women is by showing confidence and having a "take charge" attitude. Deep down, women feel comforted by the fact that this man is strong. In other words, if you're waiting hand and foot for women, they'll biologically determine you as an inferior man. Women want security from their men, and if you're too nice, she'll see you as a woman...like a girlfriend...hence, being stuck in the "friend zone."
I believe women test and push men because they want to see if there is something to push them up against. They need to be constantly reassured that their men are strong and can fight for them. When you show confidence and act like a jerk, you show them you won't take crap from anyone and that you're secure with yourself.
I'm sure some of you guys have been in a relationship where it seems like your woman is constantly picking fights with you and messing with your emotions. What she's doing is testing your strength both physically and emotionally. She wants to know you're strong because she's insecure. She has to see you stand up for yourself on a daily basis. It's sick but the truth. I suppose being a little bit of a jerk and having some level or arrogance reassures her you're a strong man --- and she doesn't need to test you to find out.
That being said, I do think women are much more complex and illogical then men, mainly for biological reasons. In today's society, where men have been become sensative by the media made to think they should be in touch with their feminine side, men really need to know how to play this game with women. It's not natural for them anymore. So I think learning to think how women think and playing their game is very important if you want to be successful with women.
I don't think you should be a jerk to everyone for no reason. But I do think being a little bit of a jerk to women is very important. By no means hit her or make her cry, real men don't do that. What I mean is showing a little confidence and attitude.
ATTENTION ASPIES... ATTENTION ASPIES... THE STONE AGE IS OVER... I REPEAT, THE STONE AGE IS OVER... AND SO ARE THE DARK AGES... And the next person to cite the wildly overused "cavemen standard" as the model for an ideal society will get a mammoth tusk up the ass... I would've thought that a "technologically-gifted" group of people would know better. The world isn't as black-and-white as you think. Both men AND women are INDIVIDUAL people, and they don't all follow the exact same behavior. Yes, humans are subject to certain animal instincts, but we have the ability to surpass them. If it wasn't for this ability, you'd be DEAD.
Cyberman, I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. I do agree that all humans are INDIVIDUALS, but what I am speaking of is the mass majority of people. Also, I am referring to NTs only, not aspies or other unique individuals. When I refer to women in my previous posts, I am referring to the average, middle of the road NT woman in todays society ages 21-35.
I think we can agree that this is a objective generalisation.
I just bared witness to something very interesting.This guy got a woman by making her feel inferior. Anytime she said what she'd like to do, he nit picked. She smokes, he says she can't quit. She wants a new piercing, he says it would look stupid. She says she goes to art school, he says it's a nice place but she'll never make any money doing that. Not only could I never do that to a person, but I don't think I'd be remotely attracted to someone that didn't feel like we were equals.

It's people that are two faced that get to me rather than the confrontational ones.
i know it sounds gay but im a bloody gemini (born in june), so if ya look it up one of the bad things about being a gemini is the possibility of being 2 faced, so
can you give me an example of being two faced in your opinion???

Well, yeah, I agree with that, but that doesn't mean that people should treat all members of (insert whatever sex/es you're attracted to here) as being exactly the same, because it's that attitude that leads to a lot of confusion, game-playing (because if one mistakes instinctual behaviour for deliberate manipulation, it seems reasonable to be manipulative in response, which sets off vicious circles of manipulation and leaves a lot of people unable to be sincere in their relationships) and heartbreak.
I'd also like to point out that there's a huge difference between being a jerk and just not being a pushover; you can stand up for yourself and be confident without being an ass about it.

It seems common for the younger AS guys here to expect a girl to be able to work beyond the externals and find the 'interesting guy' within. Yet the same guys will judge girls purely on appearance, making no effort themselves to see the 'interesting girl' underneath. Thats a blatant double standard! Comes across as being unrealistic, needy and insecure. Do you want a real person or a pretty package to show off to your friends?
That's very insightful. NT females need that too,and men may need it as well. Which is why I believe that 'sensitive' men are not really that popular with women. You need to be confident - and at least a little insensitive - to speak up when your partner has annoyed you. I know from experience of the male viewpoint, that I truly thought I was 'doing the right thing' by bottling it up. But for long term relationship health it is far, far better to have a rant and let it go.
Yay! I agree 100%. Do we really *know* anything about the mating rituals of cavemen? From the Venus of Willendorf, their idea of the ideal female form was different to today's stick-insect catwalk models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf
I'm sure our genes play a part, but a huge amount of this is cultural conditioning. Still runs deep, though.
Yes, EVERY relationship I've been in has had that aspect. I used to think it was just me attracting the Bi-Polars, but it happens to others too. Luckily, and this applies to many of these female traits, they fade as they get older. Women seem to get far more interesting and are far more agreeable company when they get to their 40's and aren't scrapping for Fred Flintstone to go kill Mammoths for them anymore.
