Some women are attracted to dysfunctional relationships which
duplicate their experience with their fathers. If a woman had
a father who was aloof and unaffectionate, subconsciously she
will seek out a similar man. If her father was abusive, she may
be attracted to men who hurt her. These women have grown
up with an intense father, and men who are "nice" and have
no issues can be boring to them, because they are accustomed
to the dysfunctional stimulation of adrenaline rushes etc. from
a life of conflict.

I would love to have a "nice guy" in my life right now. Not a
friend, but a real man with a good heart.

I'm sorry you're having problems getting involved in romantic
relationships. Are you physically fit? Good hygiene? Don't
curse or drink? Maybe you aren't assertive enough. Perhaps
you're only attracted to beautiful women, and should try to
approach women who are less than beautiful.

I find the more mature I get, the less picky I am. When we
are young, we are shallow, and only want partners who are
physically attractive. As an older woman, I've learned to
overlook loss of hair, teeth and could care less about a man's
occupation or if he has money and in fact, prefer a working class
man who doesn't have a lot of money.

Men who are too clingy, smothering or possessive can be a turn-off,
especially for women who are independent. Know-it-alls, bigots,
men who bash women and braggers are turnoffs.

The secret is to maintain your masculinity and some mystery to you.
Play a little hard to get; don't make it too easy; be a little unaccessible,
at least during the dating period.

And after you've gotten together, remember to keep the romance
and excitement alive.

I hope this helps some.
