> I hit the gym ALOT, I diet ALOT and I read and listen to motivational tapes and books. Because the guy that just wants to date me for my body is NOT a nice guy, especially not in the long run. But if I work hard enough at being a better me all around, better partners just gravitate to me. Guys who are monogamous, buy me flowers, hit the gym, drive a cool car that THEY earned, and want to take me home to their parents and breed me every night like a filly in heat.
There is a communication disconnect here, at least from my side.
When you hear guys talk about girls not liking nice guys, at least online, it is usually coming from the type of men who are exactly the type of men you describe above.
Those were the type of guys who 50 or 100 years ago would find a nice girl and settle down and marry young and provide for her. That doesn't really happen that much anymore.
Today, a lot of women who are attractive want to fuck around a lot throughout their 20s, then land a guy as they hit their 30s. There is a dichotomy between the lover and provider, where the guy who takes care of her has sex doled out to him sparingly so he's under control, whereas the guys that really get her hot get as much sex they want.
This isn't just theory, I've seen it in action. You also see it portrayed in fiction. If you saw the movie Casino, check out the dynamic between the characters of Robert DeNiro (provider), Sharon Stone (his wife), and James Wood (her lover). That film is so good because it reflects what I and many other guys experience. We don't get blown out by guys who are better looking, better built, more intelligent, or more successful than us. That might sting, but you could understand it. We get blown out by guys who are transparently sleazy or are headcases and we're sort of "WTF just happened?"
