This troper always tries to be kind and helpful to others. (Except for you, Chase. You're mean. I don't like meanies. Pooh.)

Same with me. Well, except the part about Chase. I don't know him/her. By the way, is it bad that this is the shortest TroperTales page I can find so far? I worry about humanity sometimes.

A true NiceGuy doesn't brag. And no one would believe him if he did. Maybe the paucity of entries means that being nice is so common in RealLife (among tropers, at least) as to be unremarkable.

Right, that's what it means.

This troper's boyfriend is a nice guy. That's partly what swept her off her feet.

To take an oft used term on this wiki. Are you me?

Are you both me?

You, girl, are a very nice avertion of a very sad trope.

Can we propose that we just convert this page to any incident of getting put in the Friend Zone? After all, that's where most nice guys end up.

Although you could argue that that's a different sort of "nice guy"...

It's actually pretty easy to shift between one and the other. Like the best corruptions, it is unnoticeable until it goes too far. Luckily though it's pretty easy to switch back.

Amen brother.

This troper thinks she's a nice girl. I may have a tendency to stick my foot in my mouth, but I don't generally intend to be mean. In fact, I have a policy of being nice unless given a reason to be mean. If you push my buttons enough, you'll see my dark side!

This troper tends to fall into here most of the time,even though,to be honest,he often falls into the other kind.He's kind,nice,polite,even to people who have bothered him in the past.One of my main mottos is to help people whenever I can."Because its not just me in this world."There are other people too,who need help.I admit that every now and then I go too far.

This troper is marrying one this year, barring something particularly bad happening. (She calls him a "paladin," and means it in the most complimentary possible way.)

Speaking.

This Troper tries, sometimes.

This Troper once dated a Nice Guy. He was sweet and considerate, and completely understood when I was feeling antisocial. In the end, though, his niceness killed any hope the relationship had. He was so nice, there was nothing interesting in the relationship. No past bad deeds, no secrets, no anger even when I tried getting him mad (I may have a bit of a fetish for BewareTheNiceOnes). In the end, it was just too vanilla. Not that he was necessarily a bad guy; he just wasn't my type in the end.

Yup, AllGirlsWantBadBoys all around. Girls, don't you think that it's better when you feel that you can trust a guy completely, instead of wondering what troubled past he might be hiding from you? It just doesn't seem... sensible.

Why are you generalizing? You take the testimony of one girl and run with it into a stereotype that falls to pieces anytime you actually talk to a variety of girls. God. We're a bit more varied than that. NiceGuy doesn't have to mean boring- it just means he's nice.

This troper here has often thought about the good in people and likes to help and encourage others the best he could, even if he is upset at times.

While we're typical siblings, my younger brother (while annoying) is this. When I collapsed in the kitchen, he immediately called the paramedics and, usually, he's only acting like a git to distract me from issues. He's eighteen years old and only drinks orange juice. And while it pains me to say it, he's pretty kind and sensible all-round. He's going off to University in a couple of months and I'm scared he'll change.

Present. I'm always helping other people with anything they might ask for. Whether it's listening to personal problems and giving advice, fixing IT-related things, giving massages (free of charge, for friends and family. :) ), helping out older people and...well, just being kind and helpful in every kind of way possible. And yes, he does remember himself and his own need, from time to time.

There is a thin line between NiceGuy and ExtremeDoormat. Finding this line is important: being nice is worthless if you aren't willing to say "go fuck yourself, asshole" and stand up for your beliefs when people try and take advantage of you. I'm... working on finding this line; my life philosophy demands it, but the ExtremeDoormat path is ''so'' much easier than risking my ass and saying "GoodIsNotNice."

This troper is such a nice guy that I'm the guy who you know by reputation for a bunch of good reasons (pacifist unless forced to defend myself, eager when it comes to music and acting, enough jokes (mostly bad) to cheer people up when in the pit of despair...). However, I'm also a Broken Hero (messy divorce between my parents when I was 12, which ended on my 16th birthday, a secretive viewpoint about mankind, used to be a popular guy until middle school started...that is the basics of my fall). Since I've never had a girlfriend, I suspect that the general viewpoint amongst most people is I'm too nice to date (being a badly closeted heteroromantic asexual doesn't help).

Scratch the last bit. I've recently received some indication (well, vibes) that it may no longer be the case. Where did I get these vibes from? One of the hottest girls in my year, a (different) girl who I've known since year 4 and a (again, different) girl who just arrived at our school. All in two days! Now, if only my nerves weren't like paper...

This troper is a certified Nice Guy. At my school prom when awards like Best Dressed or Most Likely to Rule the World were being handed out, I got a certificate saying 'Nicest Boy'. I couldn't tell you why, but I was slightly annoyed for quite a while afterwards.

My brother was known as the nicest guy in school throughout his adolescence. Unfortunately, so many people took advantage of his kindness that he lost all faith in humanity and now only cares about himself.

That is so heartbreaking. T_T

When this tropers younger brother was a child, he was one of the most docile and least aggresive boys in his class.

This might be more fitting on a nonexistent JustBugsMe page, but I just hate it when people describe themselves as "nice". Nobody is always "nice" because sometimes you just have to say "Screw you, I want to live my own life!" Being described by others as a NiceGuy is all right, though. As for me, i try to be nice most of the times, but not always. Being cheerful and not holding a grudge on anybody is good enough for me.

This troper usually tries to be a nice gut.I'll always try and help someone out even if I know it means that something bad is going to happen to me because of it, so I also tend to be a bit of a pushover.

Have you notice that most guys who assure a woman that they are a nice guy, are actually socially or mentally inept and would be a horrible partner for the woman of their affections? In any case, i try to be nice to people because i think its the right thing to do. But i won't call myself a nice guy as that just sounds creepy. I'm really a guy who just wants to help others if i can and want to be happy, its far better to call myself that than sound like a creepy inept person who wants to control others (which is what the "nice guys finish last" complainers are like).

This troper wouldn't really go and call himself a Nice Guy, but I ''try'' to be one. I credit it to my parents raising me with an emphasis on strong morals and being the best person I can be. Of course, the problem is that people who are definitely not Nice Guys (or Girls) tend to take advantage of it... I still try to be the best I can to everyone because that's just how I am.

This troper does his best to be a genuine NiceGuy, but it's just... so difficult. I keep trying nonetheless. Even though it kills my romance life.

This troper tries to be this, but my kindness is being abused so much that I consider dropping this quality.

I hate it when girls say that genuinely nice guys are "boring" and that "bad guys" are so much more desirable. I'm a female and I'm here to say that I've always sought out the genuine nice guys. The trouble in my life is that I've very rarely come across any! And the few whom I've come across in the past (aside from my partner) don't take a second look at me because they're seeking -- I don't know. One of my friends theorizes that I'm too smart for my own good and my intelligence intimidates most people of both genders. And while it's true that I do tend to get all melty over a "{{nerd}}" with a wide depth and breath of knowledge, pretty much all the nerds I can think of are also {{nice guys}} (vs. the "nice guys" who are really jerks in sheep's clothing). So -- nice guys? Look at smart girls! I'll bet you at least one smart girl in your life really likes you.

I'd consider myself the Nice Guy in the sense that I'm the guy that is permanently friend-zoned, although I definitely can be a jerk at times. But, I don't think I'm the Bastard in Sheep's Clothing, I actually enjoy being the nice guy, I hate making people unhappy, it just makes me feel bad that someone else feels sad. If it means I don't get the girls, well, that sucks, but, if I gotta finish last to be nice, then I'll finish last.

I try to be nice, and if my peers are anything to go by, I'm not doing too bad; My niceness is what I am most complimented on.

This troper usually hovers between being a nice guy and jerkass with a heart of gold, but when I'm in niceguy mode... I've been known to give girls diabetes.

This troper's brother is one, and not the bad kind either. He used to be a BrattyHalfPint and a pain in the arse, but is a lot kinder and more mature now, and has an awesome girlfriend. My mum's boyfriend is one too. She's become a lot happier since she got back with him, and I love being around him because he reminds me a lot of my dad.

According to me ,I'm a nice guy. According to everyone else, I'm an ExtremeDoormat
