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.
Yep, that’s the attitude I’m seeing quite a lot of these days. I was raised that you treat a lady like a lady which means you go out of your way to make them feel special. It gets tiresome being told that you’re too nice!
I like nice guys, but I am well aware that far too many women like bad boys. They often become “battered women”, or end up having children with worthless men who will never even look for a job. An attraction to bad men can ruin a woman’s whole life - and her children’s lives. But some women don’t learn.
