I ask this out of curiosity. I'm talking about the guys who never get women and get walked over because they are seen as "too nice." Do guys who grow up and get real jobs in the professional world eventually outgrow this or are they like this forever? I ask because I had a fried who was like this when he was younger and as not like that anymore. I also just don't notice that in men as I get older anymore. I think when someone gets a family or career they naturally have to outgrow that. Am I wrong?

Yup,

 

After the 1st time I got friend-zoned which was an unpleasant exeprience.

Pain causes change. No more Mr. Nice guy :-)

Some later than others ;)

 

Also, how men are professionally sometimes has little to do with how they are in intimate relationships or their pursuit.

 

Lastly, a man can 'get' women and still be walked on as the nice guy doormat.

 

Like Red Adair once opined, 'you have to know which fires to walk away from'. That essentially was my 'catharsis', knowing when to walk away. One can still be a kind, loving and generous human being, but more selectively.
