There's 2 sides to the nice coin and it has to do a lot with the women involved and a level of genuine respect:
In some cases, nice guys get walked all over and worn down into tiny little nubs by overbearing bitches that take advantage of them. They also get cheated on, used for their money and disrespected because nice is also considered as a weekness to some women.
Then again, it's the guys fault for being such a puss. Any guy that feels like they have to do everything their woman wants to the detriment of their own happiness just to avoid conflict has SERIOUS issues ... usually they are just too nice and non-confrontational and it quietly eats away at their soul.
Also, I have seen it to seen it happen to friends throughout life but it's hard to talk to them if they don't face it themselves. Most nice guys don't want to face it.
Then again, if there's a genuine mutual respect there's no reason not to be nice ... I love my wife and have no reason NOT TO be nice to her and provide the best in life for her and my kids. She's not a bitch, nor is she materialistic, sneaky or coniving. She's a down as grown woman that understands me and knows how to treat a man. I'm not talking subserviant either. We have a great partnership.
You've met her, Roger - you know what I'm talking about!
