I read this article a couple years ago, and it describes the mainstream idea of a “nice guy” perfectly… as well as delineating WHY most decent, kind women are not interested in getting involved with a “nice guy.” Your article instantly made me think of it. I’m glad to know that someone else sees Xander as habitually petty, jealous, possessive, and vindictive. He has some good shining moments, as well, but I think it’s pretty clear why most girls wouldn’t want to date a “nice guy” like him.

I love the vampire diaries, every guy in the show is great looking. Matt is not only great looking, but he is so sweet. I can’t wait until the new episode’s start. I’m so addicted to this show,(in a good way), to the writer’s of the vampire diaries, keep up the great work!!!!!

This is exactly why Matt is my favorite character — in both the books *and* the TV show. (And you totally made me rethink how to define “nice guys.”)

I agree completely with the Xander & Pete descriptions. Sure each of those characters behaved at times as though they were the “nice guy” at other times you saw their petty and vindictive sides. And those sides were the complete opposite of what you find in a true “nice guy”. I disliked Xander most of the time and Pete almost all of the time. He was a pretty vacant character though as mentioned in the blog. Slightly off topic, but I had the same issue with Lana. Selfish and annoying.

In comparison, Matt could so *easily* be a leading man. The guy you may not notice all that much with the fireworks surrounding Damon and Stefan but he’ll be the one you can count on when everyone else fails you. A knight in shining armor, where Stefan is in blinging armor.

I could do see myself falling for Matt and yet I’m a Damon girl through and through.

I’ve always disliked Xander myself. But Karma’s a bitch. His jealousy of Angel and refusal to think Angel was good would bite him in the ass later in the similar situation. Except it would be with Anya becoming a demon again and Buffy”s refusal to see her redeemable. :/ IMO, Xander really isn’t a “nice guy”.

I adore Matt though. He can be a pushover sometimes but other times he doesn’t take shit. He breaks my heart so easily :)

When the writers are trying to figure out what all the characters are suppose to be doing over the summer, hope Matt and Caroline get hired at a children’s summer camp.

Matt and Caroline remind me of camp counselors. Really, I could picture Matt as like a really cool (he’s athlete and outdoorsy) and kind camp counselor who is the one of the campers look up to, yet takes the extra time with the kid that isn’t having an easy time.

Caroline reminds me of that camp counselor who is very energtic and keeps everybody in line.

Just a random thought.
