Nice Guys

Nice Guys.

I have heard of this being a growing epidemic but I never really knew how bad it was getting until recently. Did you know Nice Guys is actually a registered trademark now? The term is applied to a variety of men (often times self-identifying as "nerdy" or "geeky") who claim to be very kind individuals, but for some reason, are ( Read more... )

I've been reading a bit about this whole "movement" as well, and my impressions are the same. I see no difference between the "i am a nice guy but i never get any WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMEN" mentality and the "i am a dude therefore its women's job to fuck me" mentality. It's just more misogynistic bullshit covered by a layer of self-righteousness that (disturbingly) seems to get some degree of societal support.

So, um, what's your strategy for this epic level of cock-blocking while you're in Africa? Shoot your cock-block-rays out of your eyes from afar?

It's more of just a life decision for all time. I can always pick up where I left off when I get home. And as you know (being my partner on crime on so many occasions), we can cause enough damage in just one night.

This may be CBS After School Special, but honestly, "Be Yourself" is the best lesson you can learn. None of this canned bullshit about pickup lines or Lift/drops or special jewelry or GHB or fucking gallons of AXE body spray and popped collars.

These jackholes (whether Nice Guy or Bro... or was it Brah) have a sense of entitlement: "I'm such a nice guy, they should Liiiiiiiiike meeeeeee...." or "Dude, these bitches should be all up on me cuz I gots the skills, now where's my PBR?!". When you told me about that dumb shit out in the valley on your evening out awhile back, I was more than happy to help you run him down and bury him.

Awhile back my university's newspaper had an article from one of the writers' perspective about meeting and training with some Jedi master PUA.

I wanted to throttle them both with barbed piano wire and hang them from the nearest lamppost as a public example.

Then again, this is probably why I get told that I'm 'not a nice guy.'

'but a good guy.' Well, maybe.

Keep safe regardless.
