I’ve been hearing more and more that ‘nice’ is something that’s expected by women of men. You don’t get credit for being a pleasant, caring man.

I don’t understand this attitude. Seems like a good recipe for some terrible relationships. Kindness is always appreciated. A woman who’s unappreciative of kindness is probably not one you want to date.

Not with shallow, stupid women you don't. They confuse rudeness and meanness with masculinity and are attracted to it.

They also confuse politeness with weakness. As do quite a few men, who have abruptly discovered their error when the "nice, polite" man suddenly knocks them cold or kills them dead.

Actually, with a lot of women, it can work to your detriment. If you come off as “too nice”, then you are seen as a pushover, someone to be taken advantage of. Treat them poorly, and they see you as “strong and decisive”. Go figure.
