Decent good men are genuinely kind and authentic people. They know that there is a time and a place to be a good or bad boy. They are strong enough to be nice without being weak and they are strong enough to be bad when it's required - essentially they have a backbone. They know how to say no. Most importantly, they know how the world works and they know that it doesn't owe them anything.
I love decent men - they make my world go around, whenever I get my head out of my interests.

You make a good point. A lot of the men (and women) who think very highly of themselves are actually awfully immature.

Genuine, thoughtful, kind men are the original star wars movies.
"Nice Guys" are the prequels. They try to market themselves at like the originals but they have no understanding of what makes the originals appealing and they're terrible.

Best. Analogy. Ever.

Also to add to the topic, there are also "nice" girls who are immature jerks. What comes around, goes around.

Hey - I keep everything in here PG. It's not my fault that Wolf doesn't venture into AAI and instead takes his frustration out here.
Just saying you two have more chemistry than what science lessons have.

To me, the sterotypical "nice guy" described by the OP is no better than the sterotypical "bad boy", I have no interest, and no time for either of those.

I'm somewhat confused on the bolded text. Do you mean, nice, but not extremely helpful nice? Or nice, but not too nice that it's a detrementto me?

I mean don't be so nice that it is detrimental to you. You need to be able to take care of yourself and protect yourself.

You realise we have an entire thread in AAI where nobody can be told off for that stuff, right?

It's clear to me that Wolf is totally focused on you that nothing else matters to him.
You so got him wrapped round your finger.
