To start with, thank you for the responses, it is truly appreciated. I never offer them advice or critise them. I said they never seem happy with themselves because they are always putting themselves down, I'm treated like a big brother or something, many are accomplished in many areas, and I am only attracted to strong women. I respect a woman no matter what others may think because I am old fashioned in that regards, I stop and pay attention when someone speaks and actively avoid rushing to conclusions and preconceived ideas on matters. Yes I describe myself as a nice guy, I am, I have my moments, but all in all I know that at the end of the day I am respectful, polite and considerate. Once again ladies, thank you for taking the time to respond, I will look at myself and see if I can change accordingly.
p.s: I am genuine, not a poser or anything like that, just lost someone dear to me when I was younger, and found a letter from them the other week and it has gotten me thinking.
I really like that^^^ post
....It makes a lot more sense than your OP did and it comes off as sincere rather than angry and accusatory...I apologize for being sarcastic in my previous post
...I've heard your complaint enough times to believe there is a certain amount of truth to it, but I also think we don't always see ourselves the way others do...Sometimes self proclaimed "nice guys" are really just needy, troubled men who are trying too hard in order to mask or compensate for their shortcomings...Some of us gals have built in radar when it comes to neediness and we avoid it like the plague because it comes with such a heavy price...It can choke the life out of the strong, independent women you say you are attracted to...My best advice for anyone who is having "consistent" relationship problems is look to yourself for the answer(s)...Good luck Steve!....
