Untouchable_Fire Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I agree with this but would like to clarify the words "confidence" and "power". Real confidence is different from brashness. The former is inherent and attractive, the latter a superficial mask for insecurities. The type of power that I find attractive in men comes from within, someone who's secure in themselves and secure in their masculinity. Someone who's been given or even earned "power" doesn't necessarily have that solid, responsible, balanced and attractive "power" of intellect and personality. So, net result, the mature (not age related) man who's got confidence and personal power. Killer combination! Those are very true and important distinctions. I think most women are looking for the traits you outline here. However, from what I see it must be really hard to tell the difference between confidence and brashness as you put it. I think brash men are more common, and without experience dealing with true confident men most women can't really tell the difference between the two. Just my theory.

Just my theory.I grew up with one just like this. My Dad. And yet, the final piece didn't fall into place of how to differentiate until I met my husband. Prior to that, when my emotions got tangled up into it, I made the same mistakes as other women. Funnily enough, I could always tell the difference with male acquaintances and in work situations. Emotions can really mess up critical thinking and judgement!
Woggle Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 If I eat a gallon of vanilla ice cream will my farts smell like it? I am just having fun with this thread so don't get mad at me.
fishtaco Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 A nice guy is someone who logs on to a site like LS to "talk" about his feelings- his broken heart, how it eventually healed and how he longs to find the woman of his dreams, eventually finds her and lives happily ever after Are you pitching a script for a feel-good romantic comedy movie?
Author Pyro Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Are you pitching a script for a feel-good romantic comedy movie? A LS movie perhaps? hmm
skydiveaddict Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 eventually finds her and lives happily ever after How I wish that were true
fishtaco Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 A LS movie perhaps? hmm Nah, an LS movie would be a war film instead of a romantic comedy. Instead of living happily ever after, the protagonist would be staying up till 3am on a work night, researching a thread someone posted three months ago, in order to prove them wrong.
Ay Diesel T Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I'm a douche bag, but I'm nice about it. OoOoOoOOoOOO contradictions!

Guessing that character would be played by either zengirl or Sally4Stfu. :lmao:

Dunno about vanilla, but it was no less a person than our founding father Ben Franklin who said in his book, Fart Proudly, that if we could get into drinking turpentine, our farts would smell like violets. However, I don't vouch for this because turpentine is a poison, and corpses smell MUCH worse than farts. P.S. I'm not kidding, Franklin really did write that book. Look it up.

roman_pavluchenko Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 my ex told me i was the nicest and sweetest guy she had ever met!...while she was dumping me for being too clingy
Hero36 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 You don't have to be a jerk in order to not be a nice guy...You simply have to be a man. When I started being honest with women, it helped me overcome this syndrome. I started finding pickup lines...I found some here http://pickuplinesblog.com/ ...and many of them were honest and direct.
Hero36 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 f. u. ahole Thank you. Same to you I do like a theory I heard once on the whole "being a jerk thing". It was by some self-help guru, who said something like... "I think every guy needs to overdo being a jerk for at least some period of life"... The idea is to get calibration of how much is too much, and how much is not enough (i.e. too nice-guy-ish). You have to push it too far sometimes to see how far you can go.
