What it actually means is the person using the term thinks they're owed sex/romance for just spending time or doing friendly things with someone they're interested in. So it's really a lot worse than that.

And I say this since it's only those types of people I've seen use it non jokingly/ironically.

[Putnam]

Yeah, that's the connotation. I blame those durn vidya games what have "relationship bars". Not literally, but they are part of the problem.

Y'just need to tip your fedora and practice a few more hours on Hatoful Boyfriend.

The number of people I've seen wearing fedoras at my college is deeply concerning. And if I ever have to hear someone go on a spiel about Nice Guys Finish Last and PUA techniques (I got to learn allll about that from my old roommate) again, I may suffer a fatal aneurism.

Your fun fact for the day is that the phrase "Nice Guys Finish Last" originated from a professional baseball coach, who used it to defend his team from accusations that acted unsportingly.

I consider myself a nice enough guy and I got the girl of my dreams, so...

Eat anecdotal evidence, stupid truism!

[FearfulJesuit]

I've actually got a suitemate who's got a big case of Nice Guy going on. He does have three or four fedoras, but he doesn't wear them in public. He's creepy, but in a "still fourteen" way, not a "guy in a dark alley" sort of way. He has told at least one girl that he loved her less than twenty-four hours after meeting her, and this afternoon casually mentioned how difficult it was to find out if there's a stalker report been filed on you. Apparently, being a good Baptist boy, he's in the market for a wife, not a girlfriend and certainly not a fling. Let's just say he worries me.

(Yeah, he sounds like me in high school, to be honest, which is why I feel so cringey about him. The only idea I've had so far is to set him up on a blind date with an exceptionally creepy good friend of mine...but I feel like that would be mean. The drama would be spectacular, however.)

While we're on the subject, I do not get the appeal of hats at all. Fedoras are cringeworthy when worn outside proper attire, but I don't think I like any hats. The only hat I own is a winter cap for when it snows.

It depends upon the head they sit upon. Effective hat use can be seen in such places as Touhou and Russia.

I had and will soon reacquire my beloved bowler.

Maybe I should wait until I have classier shirts and bowties to go with it, though.

[BlackFlyme]

I've seen quite a few people walking around in weird hats on campus.

Berets, fedoras, tophats...

[Descan]

The only good hat is a fishermans hat. Or a head-scarf. Head-scarves are pretty. :3

Bows are honorary mentions.

The worst part, is most of them aren't even fedoras, or are terrible low quality ones.

I actually love hats, and own quite a few of them of various types. The problem is that many people think a hat carries itself, though - it doesn't.

First: The hat should serve a use beyond fashion. Either to provide shade or to keep your head warm or to designate your association with a particular group or part of your heritage or something. Have a reason to wear the hat other than "hats are cool", and you'll look much less stupid wearing it.
Second: The hat is an accessory, and needs to go with the rest of the outfit. Fedoras especially.
Third: You need to wear a hat that looks good on you. Get a colour and shape that works with your face. Fedoras probably aren't it.
Fourth: Decent shaped hats are expensive. If you aren't wiling to drop money on a good quality hat or spend the time looking for a deal on one, buy a hat type that looks good on you without breaking the bank.
Fifth: Get a hat that goddamn fits you. It's not. That. Hard.

A good military cap is generally pretty cheap (I just got one for 15 dollars or so), looks much nicer than a baseball cap, and can easily be worn with casual clothes or nicer clothes, a versatility that the fedora doesn't have so much.

[SealyStar]

The best hat is a 30s gangster black fedora.

[smirk]

The best hat is a 30s gangster.

Fix'd.
