nice guy
A nice guy is an informal term for a teenage or adult male who is gentle, compassionate, sensitive and/or vulnerable. The term is used both positively and negatively.〔http://divalion.livejournal.com/163615.html〕 When used positively, and particularly when used as a self-descriptor, it is intended to imply a male who puts the needs of others before his own, avoids confrontations, does favors, gives emotional support, tries to stay out of trouble, and generally acts nicely towards others.〔Glover, Dr. Robert, http://nomoremrniceguy.com〕 In the context of a relationship, it may also refer to traits of honesty, loyalty, romanticism, courtesy and respect. When used negatively, a nice guy implies a male who is unassertive, does not express his true feelings and, in the context of dating (in which the term is often used〔), uses acts of ostensible friendship with the unstated aim of progressing to a romantic or sexual relationship.
==Research on female preferences==
The results of the research on romantic perception of "nice guys" are mixed and often inconsistent.〔Herold and Milhausen, 1998〕 Herold & Milhausen conclude that "the answer to the question 'Do nice guys finish last?' is complicated in that it is influenced both by the measurement instruments used and by subject characteristics."
Studies that explicitly use the term "nice guy" sometimes cite research that does not directly use the term, but which addresses behaviours that are often associated with "niceness."
