Transitioning from Nice Guy to nice guy

[brynndragon]

I get the feeling that the defensive reactions demonstrated by some of the comments in my post on the topic of Nice Guys is because people recognized more of themselves than they are comfortable with in the rant I linked to. If you're one of those people, or you got that mildly ill feeling in the pit of your stomach when you read that rant, you might be interested in an essay on becoming a nice guy. I know I found it to be useful. . .

That's fair. If I didn't think I was overreacting, I wouldn't think I had a problem :-}. But I also think there are a range of sensitivities around this issue, for all that I suspect the average is a lot closer to what you describe than what I describe.

Oh most definately, as much as there's a range of any sort of sensitivity. Some people aren't comfortable with the idea of someone being attracted to them, no matter how pure and sincere the emmotion.
