In spite of what has been said in this long drawn out conversation, the subject of Guys being too nice! What do you mean by being too nice? Many guys are self proclaiming "nice" guys, that they give, buy, express love etc etc to their partners. underneath the venner they are not nice but controlling, manipulative, stuck in childhood, spoilt brats who want THEIR way to be the only way. This kind of man can and does often develop a pathological tie to relationships and abuse the realtionship. This is not always a physical manipulation of the relationships but abuse in Economics, Male Privelage, using Isolation tactics to seperate the woman gradually from her close friends and family, being exlusive, selfish and above all trying to insert their power into the realtionships ALL inthe guise of "But I have never been anything but nice to you"
Nice? No. But Bad? Not that either. Have an equal realtionship and not one in which when things go wrong you blame the woman for rejecting Nice. Nice is spooky and has an ambivelance about it


To be honest, i'm quite offended by that. There ARE genuine people about and others who hide behind alter-egos and act the way they feel is the best way to gain control. Maybe "nice" was the wrong word. Genuine may have been a better description.

However, i do totally agree about having a 50/50 relationship. Many people today only look after their own interests and disregard anything else. I used to cook for my ex and tried to help her on a few occasions but she was the sort of person that constantly moaned that i hadn't done this right or id put something in the wrong drawer or "i don't do it like that..." Needless to say, i steered clear of the kitchen after that. lol. Some people can't be pleased. Smile

A 50/50 relationship is my aim too! No hidden agendas, honesty and if we do have differences of opinions (which can be likely) then an easy solution to them! All i am wishing for is happiness for us both???

Would one of you ladies mind clearing something up for me? As a guy that would consider himself to fall into "nice" what is it a guy has to do to be less so?

Tyger look around fully there are nice guys around! i can cook. iron and clean and feel that taking my share of the chores is important to a loving sharing relationship! Tongue a bit of advice from a crinkly!! find that subtle blend! when you find Ms Right it works perfectly!
