I'm tossing around a hypothesis that:
"Women aren't attracted to nice guys because they're (sub-consciously) predicting the guys won't be aggressive enough to defend the family against future threats and/or the guys won't be able to sternly discipline errant children."
Maybe said another way:
"Being nice can be interpreted as a weakness, or as a submissive behavior, while being aggressive is interpreted as dominant behavior."
...now, I can't quote you studies that back this up, but that's why it's still just a hypothesis.
Then again, aggression may not be the only opposite of nice - confidence could be lurking in this, too...
This bubbled around my brain a little bit, this morning, probably sparked by a casual conversation with
Donna Schwandt
yesterday...
