awkwardness, quietness, shyness or the fact you don't merely walk up to a
woman and say "hey baby, nice ass", does not make you a "nice guy"...
thats something you become through deeds.
Agree - I think an awful lot of people who are cruel, or stalky, or possessive or whatever classify themselves as nice for these reasons, and that people call... perhaps awkward or geeky men "nice guys" in kindness when these conversations start and they get it into their head to think of themselves as "nice" even if they're not particularly.
There are all sorts of ways a man can be a nice guy that aren't shyness, romantic reticence, for instance being calming, strong, brave, useful at decisions, good with kids etc.
Also, there are a fair few people who try to use "nice friend" as a springboard to Knickertown.
(Argh, so cynical-sounding this post - I do appreciate that not every nice person is a creepy stalker :innocent:).

Yeah....comprehending something beyond a pop culture reference is hard. Just as hard as it is to admit that you've completely misunderstood a person's post. But that's all right. I forgive you ![=]](https://lvlt.forum.bioware.com/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.png)
Oh, I didn't fail to comprehend what you actually
said, my comprehension of English is (and almost always has been) second to none, thanks.
If the reference and what you actually said failed to convey what you intended, that's a failure of your communication skills or your English. Neither of which would be my fault, so respectfully you can probably just reserve your arch comments about misunderstandings, for yourself.
