Since the phrase "Nice Guy" has been re-defined to be a negative, what word do you ladies use to describe an ACTUAL nice guy?
I get why the phrase "Nice Guy" has become associated with men who pretend to be nice just to get past women's filters/gatekeeping, and I understand it.
But speaking as a guy who would not behave like that, and worried that *those* guys make things more difficult for guys like myself, I'm curious as to what is the "correct" way to describe a guy who is ***actually*** a nice person who respects you & your boundaries, and doesn't try to rush anything?
Note: Just to be clear on my part, I'm not exactly searching for tips/advice/tactics here, I'm just genuinely curious about common terminology. I'm not stupid enough to actually self-apply such a label to myself on an app profile or in person/chat. #relationships source
