    Because women are jacked in the head. Women seek "security" and many emotionally confuse what brings them that. If you are too nice they don't respect you because they internally feel as though they can manipulate you. Its a primal thing. that's why a lot of girls like the so called jerk. To them he cant be easily manipulated and they emotionally translate it to security. This can also come from muscles, money, stature, etc... Its all about her selecting you. Don't be an ***, but don't be a push over. Learn when to tell her no and keep her in her place.

    Us girls, I will admit can be very complicated. We love chivalry but we also like the "bad boy" it's hard to find someone who has both those qualities. So when given the option between a bad boy and a "nice guy" it just depends on the girl. I personally would choose a gentlemen over a douche any day. But some girls like the excitement of being told to make a sandwich.

    It's the entitled mindset. Being a "nice guy" and being friendly doesn't make most girls want to date you. Most guys don't seem to get this.

    You're not entitled to a relationship or sex with a woman. It's not a prize to be won, it's their body and their choice who they want to be with.

    When you begin respecting a woman's authority over who she dates and has sex with, and when you begin respecting a woman's right to say no to a relationship without throwing an entitled piss fit or harassing or belittling her for turning you down, women may begin to feel more comfortable about dating "Nice guys"

    Source(s): from guy to guy. Respect and understanding goes a long way

    The same exact reason why good females lose. I use to lose a lot and now I am married and extremely over joyed bc he fights for me and he loves me. Stay a good person your other half will arrive shortly. Don't stop being you because of others.

    I dont think they loose. I think love is complicated. Nice guys maybe percieve this because people are often attracted to outgoing charismatic individuals. Douchebags often possess both qualities and sadly it gets them laid...but personally I feel thier success is overrated and under analyzed.

    Just remember...good things dont come easy!
