We've all heard of the phrase "nice guys finish last" and seen the stereotypes of women always going for the "bad boys" instead of the polite gentlemen. We know that for the most part, that isn't true of us, but what about the other way around? Are guys interested in girls who are nice, polite, cordial and appropriate? Does a gentle demeanor turn them off? Do they assume that these nice women are all prudes and won't be fun to date? Your kindness shouldn't be a fault, so why do some men think that it is? Being "too nice" isn't necessarily a detriment to your character, but you should certainly take the degree of your niceness into consideration.

Sometimes being too nice can go hand in hand with being too unwilling to express an opinion. If you agree with every single thing he says, every choice he makes, every restaurant he chooses, things can get boring pretty quickly. There's a possibility that your niceness and willingness to just "go with the flow" is actually making your time together boring. There's nothing wrong with expressing your opinions or desires, so go ahead! You two will never agree on absolutely everything, so there's no point in sacrificing your perspective or needs for his.

Sometimes nice girls also convey the impression that they're just a doormat. This will not necessarily turn off decent guys, but it can get you into a sticky situation with guys who are all too ready to take advantage of your kindness. This kind of guy specifically searches for a woman who is nice so that they can do whatever they want in the relationship and not have to worry about her putting up a fight about it. If you feel like you might be stuck in one of these situations, it's time to get up and run in the opposite direction!

Being kind and patient can also become less interesting because it makes you appear to be less of a challenge, and lord knows men love a challenge. This goes back to our first point, where we mention that the relationship can get boring. If you're just willing to sit around waiting for things to happen, then nothing interesting can commence. Liven up your relationship by making your own decisions and putting yourself first! It will be as good for you as it is for your future relationships, which means you will be happier in the end.

Let me watch out for misogynistic comments..
