Why is it, that a lot of women don't like nice men.

Oh how wrong you are! There are tons of women that are just waiting for a nice man to cross her path.

How RIGHT he is though. All of us have seen women who will pass up five good guys to date ONE bad boy!
I too wonder why.

The "bad boys" (or girls) may be fun to date now, but how interesting and companionable will they be in 20 years, when most of us will be more interested in a genuine friend, rather than a fun time?

I think Tink might be right...like attracts like. Also, women with self esteem issues don't think they deserve NICE, so bad boys treat them the way they think they deserve to be treated.

A lot depends on what you mean by 'nice'. If you mean a doormat (someone who's always apologizing for every little thing, no matter how trivial, who never has any preferences on what to do or where to go, but leaves all decisions to me, etc.), I'll run like hell the other way. That's not being nice, that's a guy with a problem. If you mean someone who expects and returns simple courtesies (returning phone calls, being punctual, etc.) that's a totally different thing. It's what I also expect and return.

I like nice men, but they are few and rare.

Boringly nice?
Or instictively/well-bred nice?
I prefer the latter, with a touch of naughtiness and sense of whimsey and adventure.
"Predictibly nice" loses it's appeal much too soon for some of us. (My ex was "nice"...got even much "nicer" over the years. 32 of them together, til his "niceness" was cloying ~sigh~  ...and we parted amicably, "nicely")
...but then I've never been tagged with the lable of just plain "nice" at any time in my life.  (it's what he liked about me, though -- go figger  )

It isn't about niceness, it's about wimpiness. What most women want is a man who stands up for himself and the people in his life, is dynamic, confident, a well-adjusted adult and truly inhabiting his life. Some of those traits appear to exist in the so called "bad boys" although that is mostly illusion and not in the "nice guys" Actually, it isn't the presence of niceness but rather the lack of the above that turns women off. Of course we like to be treated with respect and consideration but that's only part of the package. It's sort of like eating just the centre of a chocolate truffle : nice but not the complete truffle experience.

nice
adj 1: pleasant or pleasing or agreeable in nature or appearance; "what a nice fellow you are and we all thought you so nasty"- George Meredith; "nice manners"; "a nice dress"; "a nice face"; "a nice day"; "had a nice time at the party"; "the corn and tomatoes are nice today" [ant: nasty] 2: socially or conventionally correct; refined or virtuous; "from a decent family"; "a nice girl" [syn: decent] 3: done with delicacy and skill; "a nice bit of craft"; "a job requiring nice measurements with a micrometer"; "a nice shot" [syn: skillful] 4: excessively fastidious and easily disgusted; "too nice about his food to take to camp cooking"; "so squeamish he would only touch the toilet handle with his elbow" [syn: dainty, overnice, prissy, squeamish] 5: noting distinctions with nicety; "a discriminating interior designer"; "a nice sense of color"; "a nice point in the argument" [syn: discriminate] 6: exhibiting courtesy and politeness; "a nice gesture" [syn: courteous, gracious]
1, 2, 3, 5, 6 are good. #4 is not a good one. If a person is #4 then most women I know would run the other direction.
I wouldn't mind meeting and getting to know a "nice" guy. I just don't want someone who sits there with his thumb up his .... Think about when you were young, if your mother said "He's a very nice young man" most of us turned our noses in the air because that meant he obeyed every single rule and was a stick in the mud. I still don't want a stick in the mud. I want someone who does nice things without even realizing what they're doing. They just do it.
I agree with Sun and Real. You can choke on nice.

well its like this according to my experience as a nice guy. women usually walk on nice guys. when you say nice guy their ears perk up like a dog waiting for a treat. (not calling women dogs) they will sample it and then start using it as they like. pushing a nice guy into heckle and hyde. then if they truly want a nice guy well you live too far away, your too heavy, your too skinny, your not very handsome, you smoke, you drink, is that the only car, truck you have, i don't like what you ware, i don't like your after shave, and the list can go on and on and on. when it boils down to the end they want more than just a nice guy. now i am not getting down on women cause i seen guys the same way. i have a friend that is married and he has a bueatiful wife pretty nice figure usually plesant to be around and here he is a crab but, usually don't want to have sex with her, (according to her) he is usually out chasing around in the bars doing god only knows what with other women. and she sits there and puts up with it. but thats another thread.

Yep, "pushing a nice guy into heckle and hyde" is a really malopropistic thing to do. 
I apoligize...on behalf of ALL women.

This is true for both genders.

What I wouldn't give to have a nice man come into my life. Southern men, for the most part, are only judgemental/sex-only-hungry/lazy/selfish/unemotional/ jerks who think that to disrespect a woman and treat her like a piece of meat is okay. They think they are all drop-dead gorgeous and can pick and choose like victims do in a police line-up. The rest are married or gay.

Door Watcher> What is malopropistic?
I looked in Marriam-Webster and found this looking up malaprop.
1 : the usually unintentionally humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase; especially : the use of a word sounding somewhat like the one intended but ludicrously wrong in the context
