    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    Sure it does - to you. The world must be a scary place full of women trying to control you.

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    I lost my train of thought about this issue. But basically, the idea of taming the bad boy is appealing. Having such powerful appeal that you can turn the soulless demon into a kind person (Twilight), or morphing the jerk into a gentle dude inspired sheerly by loving you (Beauty and the Beast...

    I'm glad we had this talk. I feel closer to you already.

    Are Men or Women More Concerned with Appearances?

    I think this - at least, currently. Women still outspend men in every appearance-related category. The value of visual appeal in women and men is pretty easy to compare. However, men outspend women in status-related items - electronics, dining out, and luxury and recreational investments. So...

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    After reading through aaaawwwlll the speculations and assertions on what women want, I want to SCREEEAAAM!!! You know what? Everyone is different. There is no "what women want", despite what the annoyingly stereotyped and misogynistic Mel Gibson movie purports. As we can see from this thread...

    Maybe the single men can stop presuming to know what women want? :shrug:

    That makes me feel distinctly unsafe.

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    Interesting. I posted an article somewhere on RF about Hollywood in general inculcating the attitude in men that they deserve beautiful women. Most of the blockbusters and classics are about men eventually winning the affections of the heroine - who incidentally is always beautiful and lacking...

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    True...I shuddered when I thought of a particular example. :( To expound on that, saying "But I'm a nice guy!" (or person, or husband, or wife, or whatever) is often a pitying martyr attitude that deflects attention away from the issue to a "Why are you attacking me when you're the one who's...

    It probably won't catch on. :D

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    My writing teacher always did praise me for my tin ear, klunky mechanics, and downright awful word amalgams that barely passed for sentences. :D

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    The link was helpful to me. This term annoys me for the confusion it causes. It's easy to see no one wants to be a footstool or a doormat, but who doesn't want to just be a nice guy? Such a misleading phrase. How about gaslighting, passive-aggressive blame externalizer? Much better.

    You're a good example of someone I admire for the "nice guy" traits I listed - intelligent, unassuming, guileless, sweet. I do adore you, Badran. :)

    Nice Guy Syndrome and Misandry

    My - several - qualifying statements were plain in three very short paragraphs. I encourage you to re-read them a few times. Sometimes when we initially get offended at what we think are insults can be understood more accurately when we go back and read the comments carefully. That you...

    I qualified all of my statements with "If you..." You seem to have missed that. Is reading for comprehension a violation of internet discussions?

    Did a matriarchal society ever exist?

    I can see how physical labor is important in your company. I just meant to point out that in other settings, various skills are demanded. In particular, businesses which demand highly specialized skills don't often prioritize secondary skills highly. There are of course exceptions, like your...

    ....and I don't define "masculine". Gender attributes are mostly irrelevant to me. Sooo many other qualities take precedence.
