  1. Nice guy

    Nice guy is a term in the general public discourse and in popular culture describing an adult or teenage male with friendly yet unassertive personality traits in the context of a relationship with a woman. As a description "nice guy" is used both positively or negatively. When used positively, it is intended to imply a male who puts the needs of others before his own, avoids confrontations, does favors, gives emotional support, tries to get out of trouble, and generally acts nicely towards women. In the context of a relationship it may also refer to traits of honesty, loyalty, romanticism, courtesy and respect. When used in a negative context a "Nice Guy" implies a male who is unassertive, does not express his true feelings and uses acts of ostensible friendship with the unstated aim of progressing to a romantic or sexual relationship. In this context, a self-professed nice guy lacks success in relationships with women and feels aggrieved because of a sense of entitlement arising from their "nice" behaviour. One of the main beliefs of those who adhere to the positive view of the “Nice Guy Syndrome” is that many women have the cognitive dissonance to verbally affirm that they are more attracted to intelligent, sensible, faithful and comprehensive men independently of his body build, car possession or wealth status while in the “real world” of everyday western societies they date, and more specifically have sex with, muscular and/or wealthy, car-driving and externally bold/ruthless men independently of his perceived cultural status, intelligence or moral character.
