12 Reasons Women Don't Date 'Nice Guys'

If you are a guy reading this, you have
probably noticed that, instead of opting
for a nice and calm partner who would
treat her right (you), the girl usually
chooses a 'bad boy'. If you are a girl,
then you probably are wondering why you
are attracted to and end up with a man
who treats you badly. We've tried to
come up with sensible reasons why this
happens, but you are very welcome to
add some new insights on the matter in
the comments!
1. Not real. Nice guys are too nice. No
one can always be that nice unless they're
a saint. They are busy being nice instead
of being real and women instinctually
don't trust that. Bad boys "keep it real."
Nice guys don't want to upset the apple
cart.
2. Respect. No one respects a doormat.
Nice guys don't set boundaries or make
any real demands. A bad boy doesn't let
a woman walk all over him or control
him. Women can't respect a man they can
control. No respect equals no attraction.
3. Predictable. Most people lead boring,
predictable lives, so they're attracted to
people who are exciting and a bit
unpredictable. Bad boys are always a
challenge. Nice guys are never a
challenge. Predictable plus no excitement
plus no challenge.
4. Mother Nature. Women are designed to
nurture. However, instead of doing this
with children, they often end up doing it
with bad boys . They think their love will
save them. Nice guys rarely need to be
saved.
5. Fixing. Nice guys don't usually need to
be fixed. Bad boys usually do, so they
become a project. Women think if they can
"create" the perfect man, he will never
leave them. Also, if they're busy fixing
someone else, they don't have to look at
what needs to be fixed in their own lives.
6. Genetic wars. Women are designed to
procreate with the strongest possible
genes. Bad boys are sending an
unconscious message that they have
great genes, so they're not afraid of losing
the woman by misbehaving. Nice guys
are sending a message that they don't
think their genes are good enough, so
they won't misbehave.
7. Fear of intimacy. If a woman is afraid
of intimacy, she subconsciously knows
she can avoid it with a bad boy , since she
can never get close enough to him to have
to go there. A nice guy will eventually
want a commitment, and that's scary.
8. Low self-esteem: We don't feel
comfortable with people who treat us
better than we treat ourselves. If you
don't think much of yourself, the bad boy
is simply reinforcing your negative belief.
A nice guy is treating you in a way you're
not familiar with.
9. Séx. Women feel a nice guy won't be
good in béd. They sometimes like to be
manhandled and think a nice guy won't
be able to take control and get the job
done. A bad boy comes across as being
able to deliver, even though that may not
always be the case.
10. Hot. Have you ever seen a bad boy
who wasn't hot? They probably wouldn't
be able to get away with half the stuff
they did if they didn't look so good.
Meanwhile, when a woman describes
someone as a nice guy, she means, "He's
not hot."
11. Charm. Nice guys don't always know
what to say and are sometimes at a loss
for words. Bad boys can be very
charming and know exactly what women
want to hear. However, they eventually
switch over to being selfish. By the time
they reveal their true colors, the woman
has fallen for them and has a hard time
letting go.
12. Protection. Historically, men have
protected women — physically and
otherwise. Bad boys give the illusion of
being able to protect women, while
with nice guys , women aren't so sure. Life
is about balance. Most men fall into either
the bad boy or the nice guy category. The
ideal man is neither, but walks that fine
line between the two. Until men learn how
to do this, more often than not, women
will choose the bad boy , until they realize
that his bad qualities outweigh his good
ones.
