Kinda bringing back a topic that would get broached on for a while, but was never officially discussed. Nice:

What's good about it? What's bad about it? Do nice guys finish last?

I would never say that a "nice guy" is a doormat type of guy. That would be a "wimpy guy."

A nice guy is good to the core. He is gentle, loving, kind, and patient. He is also responsible and protective. He can be stern when appropriate, he can defend his family, he can support them emotionally and financially, and he is the spiritual leader of the house. He disciplines his children with love. He is present both physically and emotionally. He listens to his wife and considers her council, but doesn't let her trample him or run his life.

That is what I would call a "nice guy." I guess maybe "good guy" would be the better term, but after all...the title of this topic is "Nice"!

a doormat would just stand there while the girl he wants puts him in the back of the line and only chooses him because she's done having fun and the only reason he's still there is because he couldn't get anybody else. if the roles where switched would you be willing to do that? I wouldn't. i wouldn't expect anybody with a healthy self esteem that values their happiness to do that.

Read the Book Wild at Heart by John Eldredge. It shows what a man really looks like that carries the true heart of God. Nice? Bad Boy? A little of both. If God was a nice guy then he would have made the world nice. But the reality is the world is a dangerous place to live. And he said "it is good." The key is that if we as men are truly passionate for Christ then we have the gentle love and the strength at the same time. Unfortunately most men in the church today have become emasculated and lost vision of who God made them to be.



Be Blessed and Live with Passion!!

nice=passive=wimp .... i just want someone who can be honest without feeling the need to be little me. also i can't stand when someone tries to facilitate me and pretend that they do not mind, if you cannot be true to your needs and respect mine at the same time then we can't work .... there is a reason why nice guys finish last.

Well....I believe it is possible to be nice and put others first without being a wimp...I'm pretty sure it's what we're supposed to do. Putting your own needs above others is the definition of selfish. I would say that in a perfect relationship you would be taking care of each others needs.

I always thought Jesus carried more weight than a nice guy.After all he healed people, confronted pharissees, and even turned over a money table.Good is better than nice cause it means you are willing to stand or fight for something.Nice kinda means you just want to get along and not offend anyone.It really cost something to be a good guy.
