16/m. You've probably heard this topic before, and might even be sick of it, but I am curious to know what any and all of you think a 'nice guy' is. Is he a pushover? or is he the one who will lend a should to cry on? I want to know what you personally think a nice guy is, what qualities and personality traits would follow him, if you would want to have a nice guy as a boyfriend, and should there be more of them. Sorry it's a long question, but because too many people have so many different views on what exactly a nice guy is; I think this will offer everyone a chance to see things from a different perspective - nobody is right or wrong in this one. I'm not complaining saying its a bad thing or praising them either, just curious. Thanks

To me a nice guy is someone who will do nice things for his girlfriend out of the blue, someone who tries to cheer his girlfriend up when shes not feeling good at all, someone who doesn't lie or cheat, someone who won't pressure a girl into doing something she doesn't want to do, someone who won't ignore his girlfriend in front of his friends just to make himself look good,someone who wants a long relationship and doesn't jump around from 1 girl to the next,and I would love if it a guy would watch chick flicks with his girlfriend if she ever wanted to. Too many guys that I talk to act like they can't watch any chick flicks, or they'll go crazy. I,myself, would want a nice guy as a boyfriend, because it would make me the happiest girl in the world. It's so hard to find a nice guy these days, and so many girls get their hearts broken. It takes them a while to get over this. I would feel very lucky to have a nice boyfriend, and I hope someday I can find a guy like that. Since you asked this question, it seems as if you are a very nice guy. Don't ever change yourself, and some girl will be so lucky to have you one day. I hope I helped you out hun! I'm so sorry my answer is so long. If you need anything else, just drop one in my inbox. Luv ya! <3 Kimmy [ PrEtTyKiTtY0428's advice column | Ask PrEtTyKiTtY0428 A Question ]

A nice guy ... this could take a while. A nice guy is the kinda guy that will treat girls with respect. Bottom line. You hold the doors open for us, you make us comfortable, and you make us happy, your polite. That kind of thing. I've been good friends with some truly nice guys. I also have some guy friends who i'm very aware that they aren't "nice guys" but they insist that they are. This is not good and any girl that isn't naive will see right through that bs. Being a nice guy cannot be faked and I hate when people try to do it.
A nice guy isn't a pushover necessarily. A guy can stand up for what they want or believe and still be a nice guy. And being there for us to cry on is always good. But if you like a girl and she is constantly coming to you and crying over other boys, that's you being a pushover. Is a nice guy boyfriend material? Yes. Very much so. I hate to say it though, but we usually pass the nice guys by. They aren't much of a challenge to us and they don't have much "edge". But in the end, I think the nice guys will come through because finally all of us stupid girls will realize that you've been there through all our little broken hearts.
OnlyTheRightAnswers answered Monday October 31 2005, 3:47 pm: Personally, I think a nice guy is one who is well-mannered. I would classify my boyfriend as a nice guy. He opens doors, pays at dinner, movies, etc., asks me about my day, and is there when I need him. But if he was only those things I would also think he was a bit of a pussy. To me, he's pretty perfect because he has those things but also knows when to take charge, like making plans or in the bedroom :). It's check and balances that make for a really good guy.

BeautifulMadness answered Monday October 31 2005, 8:31 am: There should be LOADS more nice guys!!
The nice guy, though, has to watch out that he's not seen as a friend...guys aren't traditionally SUPPOSED to be amazing at giving emotional advice or hugging. It is enough to just be there, or supply some tissues, especially if you aren't dating the girl you are comforting. If you are then there's no danger of being seen as a friend so hug away :)
A nice guy is the one all girls secretly want to marry. He is romantic, and nice but not a pushover, he is there when you need him (but not there at your beck and call, that would make him a pushover). Watch Pride and Prejudice (the new one with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden) and watch Mr Darcy. He is a nice guy!!Misunderstood at first, but a nice guy. I think that, above all else, a nice guy should be a gentleman, but that's just my old-fashioned romanticism kicking in :) [ BeautifulMadness's advice column | Ask BeautifulMadness A Question ]
sizzlinmandolin answered Monday October 31 2005, 1:21 am: A nice guy is someone who is willing to put his girl above his own image on his list of priorities. He needs to treat her well in private and around his friends. He doesn't just have to care, he has to show that he cares. He needs to be strong enough to help a girl through all of her problems. A nice guy can read gils' emotions and be able to tell them what's wrong so they don't have to. Nice guys do nice things "just because". Guys that are complete jerks otherwise, can still be good to their girlfriends and be considered "nice guys". So, a nice guy basically understands a girl's needs and expectations of him and he does whatever he can to make her happy and be sensitive to her emotions.

Personally to me, a nice guy is someone who will will compliment me, but tell me the truth if I look bad & not lie to me. A guy that will stick up for me and who will be willing to do absolutely anything to make me the happiest girl alive. Who will care for me and make sure that I'm always alright when we're together. Who will tell me I'm completely perfect the way I am, when myself and others think differently. Someone who cheers me up when I'm down, but is always there when I need that shoulder to cry on. Who will believe, agree, and support everything I do. Someone who doesn't cheat, do drugs, drink, smoke, steal, and get into fights. =P

My definiton of a nice guy- someone who is really not afraid to show that he cares for you & who is always there to listen and talk to you about anything.
I don't like when guys try too hard to be the "perfect" boyfriend and try being extra sweet. Girls notice that right away, and it's a turn off.
A nice guy doesn't have to be gorgeous or anything, but I love when they have a kick ass personality. Outgoing, fun, good sence of humor. Those things. Also someone who doesn't like or cheat =D
I usually go for the nice guys & I certanly would date one. I hate the "bad boys". I honastly don't even know what they are trying to be. But anyways, being the nice guy is all a girl could want. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
