Can you be to nice
Jump to: Newest in thread
No, I don't think you can be "too nice". There may be lots of reasons that people might chuck under that umbrella, but they're rarely actually about being "nice".
Would you want to be the opposite of nice? |

Short answer: yes
Longer answer: Sort of, it's complicated. |

I don't think being "too nice" is a problem, unless you come across like a doormat. (Not saying you do, OP!)
A bigger issue is that I see some profiles where people make a point of saying how nice they are - sometimes numerous times - and it *can* come across as desperate. After all, most women on here are not looking for a new spouse.
I think it's probably best to just be you. Would you really want to pretend you were someone you weren't just to get action on here? Sounds exhausting to me.

OP, I assume you’re thinking of the “Women love a bastard, treat ‘em mean keep ‘em keen” kinda thing? In which case, no.
Obviously there are some. And, luckily for them, the world is full of c***s. Leave them both to it and be true to yourself. If you’re nice, stay nice and be nice. Your type of woman will rise to the top.
It may take a while, which I’m guessing is the subtext to this question, but you will connect with the right people for you. |

There's nothing wrong with being nice. But everyone has their own definitions of 'nice'. If someone is a good person they usually don't need to announce how nice they are, people can see that for theirselves. Not talking about you OP but I think a lot of people on here think they are being nice but actually are only doing it to get something in return which is actually pretty manipulative. |

'Nice should be a given, but nice doesn't guarantee a meet.
Many are here for thrills, extra sex to an existing relationship and looking to meet those they find visibly and physically attractive.
You can't see 'nice'. Anyone can come across as nice by using the right language, contact strategy and approach.
Like 'genuine', nice is just a word.
The harsh truth is that it's not the first thing people see when looking profiles, not the priority for many and is something that people expect any person they meet to be, so not a particularly unique character trait either.
In short? Being nice isn't enough to guarantee a meet or interest.

You see the forum littered with post whining that women don't give "us good guys" a chance.
There is the first mistake.
Some men are so self obsessed that they see themselves as a "catch" and feel they lose out to the "bad boys". You are viewing things from your own perspective.
Some women love the fantasy and escapism that Fab offers, when guys (who are 10 a penny) are someone completely out of their norm. Some seek out those who they want to fuck, not settle down with.
However, changing who you are to fit in or improve your chances just takes you away from who uou are and leaves you hollow. It just leads to meaningless sex. If that is what you want, then pare back your profile to the minimum and be honest about that being all you want.
My previous profile many years back was a distortion of who I was, me trying to be what I thought people wanted.
Now I am who I am and don't worry about getting meets any more. I've punched well above my weight in the past and will do again with the right person.
Be yourself, always. And remain true to yourself.
The harder you try to get a meet, the harder it is to get a meet. |

Define 'nice'
A lot of unhealthy behaviours get passed off for being 'nice' such as people pleasing.
Nice is also subjective. It can be a mask that people hide behind and people will pick up on an off vibe.
You can be nice and also confident and assured. You can also be nice and lack confidence. One of those is more attractive than the other. But that is also subjective.
I find kindness very attractive but it has to be combined with confidence. |

I would also ask yourself, what are the type of people you want to meet on here and more importantly, what kind of people do they want to meet? Is it the kind of person you are presenting yourself as?
The whole nice guys finish last is just complete bollocks. There is always another reason. |

If someone feels the need to tell you they are ‘nice’, ‘sane’, ‘reliable’ etc. in their name/profile then we definitely see it as a bit of a red flag. |

I think you’re right. What people mean when they say you’re too nice is that you put other people before yourself. And I’m pretty sure that’s the meaning of life really, isn’t it? |

Giving off too nice vibes in settings like this can be disadvantageous for sure. Over the top niceness is unconsciously linked with being sensible, safe, normal but if you are always just nice and don't show a naughty or cheeky side, it will inevitably put a lot of people off as boring or lacking in excitement, not a great reflection in the bedroom department. |

This is going to sound awful but are you actually being nice or are you being nice in the hopes it gets you a fuck?
There's a marked difference. I don't think men realise a) how obvious it is and b) how rarely it works. If you're a nice person, through and through, keep being so. There are men who would say they're nice but it's under the guise of adding to their roster. Remove sex and you see just how far that niceness extends.
Be you OP. Don't go in with sycophancy, let people see who you really are.
There's far more to people than being nice. Nice is... well it's not going to have my knickers sliding off anytime soon.

This is why I point out how unstable and mentally ill I am in my profile. Boom, green flag. |

I can't speak as to what the ladies like. Gave up on that one a long time ago.
But yes 'too nice' for me is when it's a facade and it's blindingly obvious that they are not in a nice mood at all.
I struggle to engage with that because if I find myself saying stuff like: what did I do wrong? Etc. I start to feel disgusted with myself.  |

Excuse me! You are too nice, you put up with way more of peoples shit than what is humanly tolerable, you need to tell people to fuck off once in a while.

There is of course the reality that this is a sex site, people aren't generally looking for the love of their life, and the 'niceness' you would want in a life partner isn't a pre-requisite for someone you might never spend time with outside of having sex with them.
If all you want to do is fuck them then quite often being nice won't be top of the pile when it comes to their attributes. |

I'm an incredibly nice person, even when people try to have me over.
Being nice doesn't mean giving in to people, you can put your point across or refuse to do something in a nice polite way. Just stick to your guns in a nice way. |

I'm sure there is a thing of being too nice. But usually that just means pretending to be extra nice for ulterior motives or being a soulless opinionless mirror afraid of disagreeing with someone in case it ruins the chances of getting laid.
If you're just honestly a nice person, keep on being you. Changing yourself to attract the people who aren't right for you is an exceptionally pointless endeavour and never ends well for anyone involved. |

Honestly, it is so so difficult for single guys that they all question what they are doing wrong. You can be polite but you also need to be a little cheeky and flirty. The best bit of advice we can give is to engage, we have sacked off very attractive guys because they give nothing at all, no engagement, no questions, no humour, no conversation. |

"It is very hard for single guys i try and just be my self but i think its not good enough "
You've been here for just five weeks.
Believe me, this is a very short time here for a single Man to get a meet.
I think maybe the problem is more your expectations, than you yourself. |

Yes you can be too nice if it is forced or not genuine. I must admit I don't get on with those that try too hard to please everyone. But then I'm an old cynic so just don't trust them!
But... lots of people like nice people so be yourself is all you can be. |

My first ever girlfriend dumped me at midnight on new years eve by telling me I was "too nice".
That raised lots of questions for a long time after but from my perspective now it's like many other adjectives.
If you have to remind people constantly that you are nice or kind or genuine it's usually a sign that you are projecting a different image entirely.
As others have already said, being too nice is seen as being a doormat or a sycophant, neither of which is attractive.
In my case when I asked what she meant by saying I was too nice the reply was that I didn't drink and she was embarrassed about being d*unk in my presence and I was too respectful and not exciting enough for her. |

Nobody is too nice. You're not given niceness stamps on a card that you can cash in for sex once you reach a certain number. Be genuine, be kind when it's needed to everyone not just people you find attractive and don't expect to be rewarded for being a decent person |

Of all the personality traits you have, why do you believe it is being nice that is the issue? To me framing your problem as one you cannot change for reasons outside your control is rarely the best answer. By making it something you can't change - or obviously wouldn'twant to - like deciding to stop being nice - you conveniently absolve yourself of having to consider any other option and risk identifying a side to your character you won't like.
Or, maybe I spent too long being shafted by someone who used an external locus of control to excuse her behaviour and tend to spot it in others a little too quickly and judge it a little too harshly.
Dunno mate, try sending a dick pic and FAF message and see if you get better results. |

There aren't enough "nice" people in the world.
On here specifically there a minority that spoil it for the majority and when they get rejected the "nice" guy act stops and they show their real colours.
So is there any wonder the ladies of this site automatically anticipate abuse when they say "not interested"
I often send compliments and don't get a reply. I don't mind. I say what I feel. I fully understand why people don't respond to "nice" messages when they're constantly bombarded with negativity for rejecting someone.
Must be hard on both sides. For now, I'll continue sending compliments and fabbing photos. Not for sex, but because at that moment that is what I think and feel.
Happy fabbing |
