CMV: Girls hate nice guys.

I'm really confused to what you're responding to. Are you saying nice guys shouldn't bother to challenge a girl or say anything slightly confrontational because girls won't listen to them by the virtue of them being a "nice guy"? I don't disagree that your "nice guy" friends probably shouldn't start being confrontational and challenging, but that is because they probably don't have the social awareness to know when those things are appropriate. If they had the social awareness they'd already being doing that when appropriate and wouldn't need to be so worried about an adverse reaction to their comment.

Social awareness is also a huge thing that is missing among many nice guys and among people that have trouble seeing why girls don't find nice guys more attractive. This isn't meant to be a slight against you, but is more a slight against myself and how I was in high school. I was nice and helpful whenever I was aware of a need, but that often isn't good enough and it is only with years of perspective that it makes much more sense.
