The A**hole- O-Meter: The Fine Line Between Being "Too Nice Guy" and Just Being an A**hole
Is it really true that all girls love a**holes?
I hope not, but it is safe to admit that we cringe when a guy is "too nice." Remember that episode in the final season of Sex and the City when the Russian writes Carrie a song on the piano? Yeah, that episode was called "The Ick Factor."
But I hate to say, "Nice guys finish last," because don't we all think we want a nice guy?
What we really want is the perfect balance of sweet and protective, but without being corny and possessive. Or the perfect balance of chivalrous and manly, but without being dated and aggressive. Or the perfect balance of playing the game without playing us.
It definitely seems like all the guys who manage to be sweet without being "too nice" are found in romantic comedies, and all the guys who are huge a**holes are found right across campus. Check out these moves pulled by real college guys across America – you can't make this stuff up.
