We've talked about nice guys before on this blog. There's a common myth that women don't want nice guys, but personally I don't really believe that's the case.

I do think, however, that there are guys who think they're nice when in fact they are not. Those are the ones that will say "Women don't really want a nice guy."

But there's also another group of guys who simply fall in love a little too fast. They are a bit too clingy right from the beginning, and rather than hurt these blokes feelings, a woman will break up with him by saying, "You're a nice guy, but...."

Are those the truly "nice" ones then? There's an article I caught recently on this subject and I had to really agree with the author, who said the "nice guy" "gives too much - all without getting anything in return. By doing so, he has made himself appear desperate, insecure, needy of this woman's attention, affection, and approval - and he has stripped himself of any value in her eyes."

These are also the guys that say women don't really want someone nice. But if you're acting clingy and desperate too early on in the relationship (or at any time during the relationship), does that truly mean you're too nice for your own good? I think that's just something people tell guys like this in order to get away from there without hurting their feelings.
