Here is my take on what different terms mean. Feel free to add yours and I'll edit them into the first post if you want!
Also if you want to suggest changes do so and I will edit

Nice/decent Guy/Beta male: A guy who has a nice nature and is respectful to all, not just females. He's not as popular as a true alpha male, does have his insecurities but none the less he is likable and friendly.

Self Proclaimed Nice Guy (Omega Male): This guy tries to be respectful and nice to women for something in return: a relationship, friendship or sex. If he doesn't get these things, he turns into a mega a***hole or a butthurt moron. Isn't really a nice guy by nature. Has an ulterior motie for being friendly.

Sweet Guy: A sensitive soul, Quite passive/non agressive, Is happy to be friends with people or still friendly if he DOES get rejected. Sometimes feminine. Possibly gets walked over when people take advantage of his kindness.

True Alpha Male: Very popular with ladies and friends with lots of guys. Respectful to all. Kind by nature. Very confident.

Douche bag/Playboy: Popular with ladies and has lots of guy friends. Portrays confidence but this is to hide insecurities. Often huge insecurities. Becomes a mega a***hole or a butthurt moron when his ego gets cut down. Not a nice person.

Dating: Meeting up with multiple people to see you if you hit it off. It's more of a trial and error stage. In the dating stage a relationship eween two specific people is not exclusive.

Relationship: An exclusive relationship between two (or more, if you are in a poly relationship) people. If you see other people at this stage without the consent of your partner it's considered cheating (unless its a fetish).

Open Relationship: Same as relationship but allowing partners to have sex with/see other people.

Friends with benefits: Two people who are friends who also have a casual sexual relationship, but also hang out as friends.

F*ck buddy: Two people who don't really know each other well get together for the sole purpose of sex.

Bad boy: A guy with a bad attitude. Does what he wants and treats other people poorly. Some people find the danger and the fact they have to fight for his affection attractive but a lot als don't. Often has been to jail/gets into fights etc.

Slapper: A woman who "gets around"

One night stand: Meeting for the sole urpose of sex never to see the person again.

Thanks for clearing things up for everyone.

Anyway, I am the type of guy who makes the first move, but struggles when it come to the big relaionship-related questions (touching, sex, etc.), and find it difficult asking those questions without consulting good friends or family first (however, I have gotten better at that over the years).

I go the extra mile to show someone that I can be a great partner for them, even if I am not their fantasy guy.

Which category would I fit in given that?

Well Tim, I made this thread so everyone could help me, too. I want to hear what other people think these are too, and feedback.

How about some PUA terms and the identifying qualities?

We just had negging in another thread, and it might be enlightening to some who don't know what this tactic involves. I'm not too familiar with these myself. The only other tactic I've heard of is Boyfriend Destruction.

I used to think that 'friends with benefits' and 'f**k buddy' were the same thing.

What's wrong with wanting friendship? if all I wanted from a women was to be her friend and she rejected me, I would be pretty butthurt too.

What does butthurt mean?

I the mysterious brooding an type a bit of a jigsaw puzzle that is impossible to put together sorry I dont fit into any of the categories
