The Return of the Nice Guy

Many guys seem to feel that, in order to get the girl, they need to act cool, silent and stand-off-ish. But here's a secret: Most girls actually prefer NICE guys. I've always gone for friendly, funny, nice guys, not some weird dismissive dude.

We were talking about this the other day, and Alex said that he used to think girls weren't attracted to nice guys, so he'd tried to act mysterious. But years later, he realized that his actual nice personality worked. He said he wished he'd had a Jim-from-the-Office as a role model when he was younger.

Here's to John Krasinski, making guys nicer and girls swoonier all over the world.

i LOVE Jim (aka John)!!! He's an awesome guy, there should be more like him. And this says a lot coming from a girl who generally prefers a bit of a bad boy. Hmmm....

Jennifer said...

Seriously. LOVE HIM.

that mysterious act is horrible, so glad alex wiped it. mary-laure, do you think guys actually think about whether girls are nice or not?! i take that back - only the nice guys care about whether a girl is nice.
oh yes, and nice clothes joanna!

Dude, just last night I sent an email to one of my besties lamenting the lack of genuinely kind men in the world. Thankfully I seem to have found myself working directly with two. And they both have beards which is probably nothing more than a lovely coincidence.

We are so on the same page this week.
