Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure that women "like bad guys" so much as they want a little excitement.

I'm not trying to talk about women in general, nor imply that all men are too-nice or too-bad. Just that if your picker is off and you're seeking excitement, it's more likely from a bad boy you want to make palatable than injecting fun into a too-nice guy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If your picker is off and you're seeking stability, though, you're going to be finding the too-nice guy and trying to make him more fun or interesting or whatever. It's just a different kind of "off."

See, I've never seen that. Which is why I ask. All the fixing women I've seen have been trying to quiet a guy down.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's just a different kind of "off."

Right, either one is actually a dud.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

you're going to be finding the too-nice guy and trying to make him more fun or interesting or whatever

I would guess this more often plays out as finding the too-nice guy and convincing yourself the fun and interesting doesn't matter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Wish I had known all this when I was in college....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I htink the other side of the coin is dating a too nice guy and trying to make one feel love for him because it "should" work.

Oh, I've seen it. It's the women I know who feel like it's Time To Settle Down, and who doesn't want to settle down with a Nice Guy? Well, some of them, it turns out. Of course they want to settle down with a nice, good, guy, but not one for whom Nice is the definining characteristic.

That jibes with what I've seen. And then seeking the fun and interest elsewhere, if they can't convince themselves they don't need it.
