In college, I learned why American women did not like nice guys: sexual repression. It seems that if an American woman has sex, she's a "bad girl", even if it is with her husband. I saw girls clinging to abusive boyfriends. So, I gave up on them and dated foreign women and married one.
Um, that's not only untrue, but it has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. My whole point was that the belief that you expressed generally comes from a really bad definition of the word "nice." You can complain about the women-not-liking-nice-guys stuff over in Love and Dating, but when we're talking social skills, we need to know what the word means. You're not using "nice guy" to mean "guy who is nice" you're using it as a blanket term for "guy girls don't like" whether or not said guy actually is nice.
