That is a classic circular statement. If she is attracted to him, then he is sexually appealing.
That's exactly how it should be - guys who are too nice are consistently rejected by most women because, when compared to their more unambiguously male counterparts, they are recognized as inferior.
There is nothing inferior about being nice. And women have as varied preferences in men as men have in women.
Some women are attracted to nice men, some are attracted to brutes.
The only relevant question is are you the kind of guy who wants to attract the kind of women who prefer brutes or nice guys??
But there is nothing inferior about nice guys; quite the opposite infact.
A woman shouldn't consult too many friends. Sometimes your friends can be your worst enemy. I've heard similar stories from guys though, like how their wife's best friend encouraged them to get a divorce,etc.
"Gold in their Bloomers"...works for Paris Hilton.
Agreed.

Sage advice (for just a chick, anyway) for long term relationships. Crumby advice if you want a short termer, and one is a nerd to start with!
Been there, done that.
Fortunately, since remarried to a great woman.
New wife wanted to see Dr. Phil a few years ago. I got tickets for it and was ready for an evening of male bashing. He bashed the women much more than the men. He brought up the restroom thing. Called them "Crazy Meetings".
LOL!
He's right about the bathroom meetings.
ROFL! "We don't need Rambo! We have Police-Bo! AHHHHAAAAAAAAAA Police-bo!"
That's an exact quote out of Broward County, FL. The guy was arrested for fighting the cops and spraying Armor All in his wife's face.
This sounds like a sales pitch. A come-on.
Most intelligent guys could figure out every one of these 'rules' by simply reading the two versions of the dating guidebook for women: "The Rules".
One other thing. Some guys get away with murder if they are with a woman who has very low self esteem. I used to work with a gal who was financially and verbally abused at best and possibly physically abused. She kicked they guy out. 3 days later she's telling me she took him back in cause she couldn't live without him. This went on 5 or six times while she worked with me. That was 15 years ago. She's still with him. She's still waiting on the promise of marriage that he made 15+ years ago.
I rate this thread an A+.
I love that book. Some people think it's a bit outdated though.
Also, creating a shrine to your beloved in a spare bedroom, surrounded by pictures you've surreptitiously snapped at various locations, doesn't get you any mileage. Or so I'm told.
LOL!!!! hehehehe
ROTFL
I don't know much about women or dating, but most of this advice seems flippant and ungentlemanly and, well, shabby.
Liqour is the answer for short term relationships. (It'll get 'em every time)
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that, I'd have, well, a couple hundred dollars by now.
