The only way a man can be to nice is if he's one of those clingy nice guys. That would be a guy who showers a girl with love and affection, but he is constantly calls her, messages her, or checking up on her. Then he's to nice.

Yeah it's possible. Sometimes girls don't like too nice guys because some are too laid back. I had this problem with my an ex. he always seemed to think that by being nice was a way to show that he trusted me. The way I see it is if a parent would be nice all the time i would think that they didn't care. I personally have to have men that have a little backbone. So one who's willing to stand up.

It depends on what you are doing to be "too nice" Bringing a single flower for a first date is nice. Bringing a bouquet of roses? Too nice. A big turn off. Opening doors - well I think it depends on your generation. For teens and twenty somethings today, probably, too nice. For the older generations, nice. But yes, a guy can be "too nice" and it can be a big turn off. Usually, if you are too nice in the beginning of a relationship you can forget about it. If you are in a relationship that has been established, it's fine to be "too nice" as long as you feel you are getting appreciated. To sum it up - Don't be "too nice" at the very beginning! There must be some truth in the saying "Nice guys finish last! - Best of luck to you.

I am not sure what you mean by too nice. It is good for a man to be nice, but not to the point where he is letting someone walk over him. My husband is very nice, but he also stands firm on those things he believes in. Compromise is a nice word.

The too nice ones are annoying.



Too nice is too much, we like the nice attention, but we hate a man to be to woozy for words.

There is a fine line. We want a man who is nice but can also stand up to us when we need it. Who will tell us we are beautiful, but also let us know when those jeans just aren't as flattering as we think they are. Loving is one thing...but..needy...is another. We know you need us...but dont treat us like we are your mom. We all want a man who will stand up for us no matter what, but tell us how crazy we were when we get home.



Good Luck...I hope this isn't too confusing.

I, personally, don't think so. At all. But unfortunately it is also true that it is human nature that nice people can often provoke selfish behaviour in others. However, I certainly don't think that provides an excuse not to be nice. Why bring yourself down to other people's levels? Be as nice and lovely as you can and be very proud of it!

I don't like it if a man gives me my way all the time or never tells me what he wants. I like a man who will lead in the relationship. He can be nice as long as he's not a pushover.

He's right. Some times they can be too nice and it gets annoying. Or, creepy nice and she'll want to run. If he's nice all the time, what does that woman have to look forward to ? Odd, I agree.

Thing is, a woman likes a man that can stand his ground.. we like guys to be nice and sweet, but there is such a thing as too nice and too sweet.

NO! But a man can be really dull, unattractive and uninteresting which in turns spoils everything. Then when he is being so sweet and nice, the girl finds it a turn-off.

Yes, everytime I try to be the nice guy women walk all over you, and say don't ever change. Yeah, so the next girl can walk all over you too.
anonymous
2006-09-20 12:58:38 UTC
Yes i think so. They can be to nice to the point you walk all over them. Then challenge is gone. Not saying girls want a mean guy but one that will stand up for himself and not just roll over.

Yes, show some spirit, let us know who you are. If all we ever get is nice we'll start looking for some fire. Be kind, but be you. Tell us about you what do you like to do, what would you like to be, ask and listen to us but speak to us as well, we're looking for a person.

No, a man can never be too nice, there is no such thing... just be careful about being taken advantage of.

Sometimes "nice" crosses over the line to "choking the life out of her"...lol....just stay on the other side of the fine line.

Yes. Of course, but it doesn't come off as "he's so nice" it comes off as "he's so creepy" Too nice means that you have other intentions.

Yes.



Wen you notice that after all your efforts for being good, sweet and nice, she is avoiding you, being rude, or any sign of "just get out of my sight", its time to slow down or give her some space.



If any of that happens, continuing being nice!

Well actaully yes because they could probably love somebody so much that it can't stop then from doing so many nice things.

No, but he must share his feelings also and being nice does not show the real person he is.
....
2006-09-20 12:57:45 UTC
Yes he can.



TOO nice men reek of desperation.

TOO nice men are always hiding something (that is usually very wacked)

TOO nice men call everyday and give you presents every time they see you.

TOO nice men ALWAYS complement you on EVERYTHING.



If you ever run into one. run... run away... run like the wind!!!

If he has no bounderies established for how people treat him then yes, he can be too nice.

Yup if a woman only sees him as a sugar daddy and he knows it and still allows her to drain his a#$ for every penny he has.
