These are such great points. I admit, I've done the "OMG I CAN CHANGE HIM!" Thing more than once. thankfully I've outgrown it.

I think you are right in that nice guys seem like they have low self esteem. That and sometimes they're afraid to approach women so it isn't as easy to tell when they are interested in the first place.

"the most attractive thing in the world is a guy who is unapologetically who he is, *and* doesn't play games. (Well, except the fun kind...)"

That is just what I was trying to say, only said better!
