Tell a supposed nice guy that you appreciate his interest in you, but that you're a lesbian. Say that you really like him though, and would like him to be your friend. If he still wants to be your friend with no booty to be gained, you got your answer. Most will bolt.

That help?

Be careful Chris: there's that small chance to run afoul of someone who thinks they're the right boy to "cure" her. Of course, that's another big giveaway, so methinks your tactic still holds water.

Mai! Yay for the nice guy thread! And I like your definition.

Lofwyrr-don't be bitter! Bitter is not attractive at all. Stay good Lofwyrr! Stay good!

And for the record, I've never been one of those mean girls that use nice guys.

The problem is that sometimes we don't know a guy likes us. If he doesn't make a move, how are we to know?

Sorry, being serious.

I make really yummy brownies. Yummy brownies for the person who gives away the secret location of the nice guy hideout.

How would one qualify a 'real man'?
Does this mean most males are infact not real? How does this function? And could this not be a manifestation of someones tastes, as opposed to some galactic standard that all males are tried against?

In more relevent news- have you tried under the bed?

The story of my life:

me: *wow you're really hot and sweet!*
him: *laugh at my jokes, complement my looks, discuss politics without attacks*
me (later that night): he's got to have a girlfriend
bf: no he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend.
me: so what's the problem?
bf: he DEFINITELY doesn't have a girlfriend

now he's one of my super great friends and i think we can relate on a lot of issues that a straight guy friend couldn't. i thank jesus everytime i see him that we have the relationship we do!

note: um- [bold] i don't want a bad boy!! [/bold] *waits patiently*

Here's another: watch Somewhere In Time(Christopher Reeve, Jayne Seymour, 1980) with a guy and see if he cries at the end. Any guy that don't cry- hit the ejector button.

I was at a party once where there was a girl I wanted to talk to, and I couldn't think of any way to introduce myself that didn't sound like a come-on. Just as my friends were leaving I walked up to her and said, "I've been noticing you at this party, and I couldn't think of a way to meet you. I have to go now, and, uh, I just had to say you're the prettiest girl here tonight. Bye."
I turned to walk away and she tapped my shoulder. "My name's Jane."
Talk about COOL!!! (nothing ever came of it, but that's besides the point)
If a guy likes you, he'll FIND a way to tell you!
With ultra-shy guys you can tell because they'll always be looking away from you just as you look at them.
Just striking up a conversation about Serenity out of the blue works too.

Okay, here's one I actually know the answer to. Actually I know the answer to most question :)

Not Me.

I'm the guy who think Jayne is about as nice as a guy needs to be.

But I do know where they are.

Girl geeks and guy geeks hide out in different areas, for some reason, they never seem to figure this out, and so never run into one another.

Girl tend to take their geeking in one of these venues: reading, chatting, or partying. As a result girls geeks can be found at libraries, bookstores, online forums like this one, and at sci-fi theme conventions which are not gaming cons. Show specific cons are sometimes overwhelmingly female. I went to the La Femme Nikita cons and there were never more than half a dozen guys there.

So that's where the girls are, but that wasn't the question.


WHERE THE BOYS ARE:

Guys gravitate to gaming, and competition. For geek guys, this means that you will find them in a college computer lab, at a college gaming, or at a game store. Here you will find not only nice guys who fit the above qualifications, and appreciate whedon, but these guys will also be highly available as they haven't seen a female in a fortnight.

Now, admittedly, some of these guys will be big fat hairy smelly toads. This is true. However there will be plenty there that are plenty attractive as much as any other venue. I know many gamers with as much charisma as simon or mal, and as few dating options as Jayne, to wit, "I'll be in my bunk."

So, wymyn who seek nice guys, get the to a local gaming crowd. Seek out a LARP group, it has room for plenty of cosplay and is physcially active as to screen out the most degenerate sloths. Then you can go through and date them all one by one, but remember:

Keep only the ones you want, and cancel at any time.
