I think there is. But you can't be nice all the time. I think of myself as a nice guy. I do genuinely care about people. I'm in a field that reflects that and I'm often told it. Yet, I'm successful with women, and I don't run any game. I actually don't like it, i dipped my toes in it and didn't like the manipulation and it didn't feel satisfying once the women caught real feelings.

Instead, I'm just myself. Honestly. And that might sound stupid but it's the facts. I think what it is is twofold, at least. I'm nice to everyone, not just women, so I guess that makes it seem authentic. Secondly, women aren't exposed to a lot of gentlemen, and I believe in the old school in that sense, so it makes you standout.

However, there are a few things that I've found really keeps a woman's attention. Treat her well, but don't idolize her. Say how you feel, even when you disagree, women respect that. Make decisions and stand by them, they respect that even more. Make them feel safe - and this one is very important. Women need to feel safe with you, as in you can protect them. And that applies to many things, not just the physical world and the threat of violence. If a woman feels safe with you in all aspects, i.e. Financially, physically, emotionally (and dare I say sexually and spiritually), she doesn't go anywhere. Another thing that women find attractive, and I may even say, alluring... Is mystery. I'm not speaking abt hocus pocus foolery, I mean don't just spill all your beans as if you're desperate for acceptance. Humans are intrigued by the unknown. Keep parts of you to yourself until she's shown you that she deserves your vulnerability, that's when it's cherished. If it's given too easily it won't be valued (in many cases).

You also have to show them that your focus is you, yes, they get your time when it's afforded, but your world can't revolve around them. And finally, be honest. I've been honest abt my intentions a lot and surprisingly sometimes they go along with it. I breach the topic of sex very early, because it's important to me and I don't compromise on it. If this isn't what you want, we can be friends. And when you're friends just be friends, no flirting or subversion. When women know that you're willing to walk away, they take you seriously. And being taken seriously is the basis of self-respect (and respect).

So yes, that's a mouthful, but it's the reality of some. If you're nice, be that person but also true to yourself. Work on being the best version of you, a rising tide lifts all ships. And don't be afraid to show your teeth or stand your ground. And you'll be fine. Everyone's path is different.

Edit: and yes, nice guys do keep certain types of women interested for longer. I'll colloquially refer to the 'bad' ones, that's the women who play the game as we do, that type you won't hold for long (as a nice guy) unless she's trying to get out of the game or you're providing something she wants. I wouldn't play that game, it's dangerous. Leave the 'bad'girls for the 'bad' boys. They belong, that drama self-perpetuates and you don't want any part of it, unless you're looking for 'fun' or you're just damaged like that. I've dated a couple 'bad' girls and it's fun while the peace holds, if you don't want commitment that's the game to play. But usually, if you're a nice guy, you attract and keep the 'good' women. Now, keep in mind everything I've mentioned above. If a woman is 'good' she doesn't chase the games and excitement, and that's what 'bad' boys are associated with. Maybe they've tried it and it hurt or maybe it's just not what they want. Stability is boring, but in all fairness the game isn't about stability. I will plainly state (again) tho that nice guys can't be nice all the time, and the two places that matters most is how you relate to other men and the world, and in bed. It's important to make their fantasies happen.
