I’m not attracted to Mr Nice Guy

How come the nice guys just do not push my buttons? [Courtesy]

Hi Chris,

My mother always told me I should marry a man who is dependable, loving, committed, and understands what is important in life. A nice guy, in other words, who wants a family and likes children. That sounds like good advice, doesn’t it? And it is not just my mother. I am forever reading about the sensitive, caring ‘new men’ I am supposed to admire. So how come the nice guys just do not push my buttons? While I go weak at the knees whenever I see the sort of guy I cannot tell my mother about. What is going on?
