What do nice guysâ„¢ get wrong when it comes to dating?

My friend and I are having a debate over this and we really couldn't pinpoint what they get wrong. it's not like it doesn't work. I've seen plenty of people go from friends to a couple and one statistic had the most common people meet their future wives or husbands is as platonic friends. So what exactly do they get wrong?

How did you trademark nice guy's?

@jimn: Was interested also so I googled. Found this:

""Nice Guy™ is a term in Internet discourse describing a man or teenage boy with a fixation on a friendship building over time into a romance, most stereotypically by providing a woman with emotional support when she is having difficulties with another male partner.
There are, broadly, three schools of thought about Nice Guys™:
1. That they are victims of women's irrationality or cruelty, in that women say that they want "nice guys" but in fact prefer to have relationships with "jerks" or "alpha [alpha males]" (with the would-be suitor considering themselves to be in the "friend zone": a romantic limbo of sorts).
2. That they are using a failed seduction strategy and need to learn or be taught to be alphas or seducers, see Pick Up Artists .
3. That the Nice Guy™ strategy of "doing things for someone so that she will have sex with me, because women do or should reward niceness with sex" is a sexist construction, of which more below.
The terms Nice Guy™ and Nice Guy syndrome are used to describe men who view themselves as prototypical "nice guys," but whose "nice deeds" are in reality only motivated by attempts to passively please women into a relationship and/or sex.""

Sounds like a buncha dou.chebags to me....

@MrWalkSoftly: well i guess nice guys do finish last

Nice guys usually try to hard and end up being fake in the process.

Nice guys vs Fake guys ??

With rampant fakeness that we see allround us these days its hard to recognise genuine niceness ..

But the fact is there are still nice people out there ,, driven by compassion and empathy . You can suspect anybody's motives because you've been cheated on such pretext many a times before or you are so twisted yourself that nobody ever tried to be nice with you ..

The short point is that.. yes there are people who are genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of others without wanting anything in return . Whether or not you acknowledged this if you happen to find one is your problem . But its harebrained to trademarks Nice guy™ as essentially a manipulator .
