I don't mind being a faceless hero... Because, seriously.. I'm kind because I want to be, not because it will do anything for me.

Yeah, it was basically second sentence when I went "wow, this is going to be abusive."

*sigh*

That was gross.

Here's a related article, though it shouldn't make you rage.

Come to think of it, his train of thought also seems to contradict itself several times.  Of particular interest is "the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches"... well, are they illogically sleeping with asshole guys or cruelly and knowingly manipulating nice ones?  He could least be consistent in his wild fantasies.

That article (the raeg one, not Vector's link) demonstrates two common human problems:  Ignorance and arrogance.  If the man is thoughtless, callous, or <insert adjective here>, the cause is probably more a lack of awareness than evil (or the more mild "he's a jerk >:(").

Just trying to provide a thought that isn't lolwut or part of the raeg bandwagon.

This is kind of fascinating to me.  So does this forum in general completely reject the supposed 'nice guy' phenomenon?  I'm curious.  This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of reaction to the subject.

And since I know people will be curious, I both agree and disagree here.  I agree with the assessment of "nice guys" in the style of that first rant to be somewhat creepy and manipulative.  I'll say more after I know more about the range of opinions here, since I want an answer unreactive to my input.  If this turns into a big thing, I'll move it to the recently dedicated romantic science thread.

People with the nice guy theory, from my experience, lack experience in relationships with regards to how they actually behave. Emotions are what they are, and even "nice guys" stumble. Which begs the question, is there really such a thing as a "nice guys", or are there just "guys" "assholes" and "guys or assholes who say their nice guys."

So yeah. When people self-identify that way, my gut reaction is to think they're over compensating or they just haven't been in enough relationships to really know themselves. I'm sure there are some beatific dudes out there who totally fit the description of "the nice guy." And I'm pretty sure they don't ever call themselves that, or see themselves that way.

Kind of like claiming to be the messiah, ya know? The messiah never claims to be the messiah.

About the "nice guy" article, I assume I'm a nice guy since I'm guilty of most of those things in that article(or would be if I were in the situation). While I wouldn't neccessarily call myself a "nice guy"(I consider myself better than most, but I doubt I'm anywhere near a "perfect gentleman"), I found myself insulted by that. If you're going to complain about how your female friends are complete bitches for not wanting to have a relation, then find new female friends, or grow a pair and actually be a little assertive. Don't be an ass(like you complain so much about), but try to actually fight for her attention(note: Ignore my relationship advice, I have too little experience in this regard and am fairly agitated today).
It almost makes me want to donate sperm, just so that someone out that can get a baby that might be genetically predisposed towards being a decent person. And with my financial situation as it is, being paid to get intimate with a plastic cup doesn't sound like such a bad idea...


And for today's raeg, at the bus stop, there was this crackhead. The first thing he does is whip it out and take a piss behind the bench(I'm note sure he even did that, he may have simply pissed his pants). As he did this, a woman with a young girl walks up. He then starts trying to sell drugs to people in their cars, and even to the woman(maybe even her daughter), and eventually makes a sale. Then he walks out in traffic and stands in the middle of the street, trying to get hit. I was about to call the cops when the bus finally pulled up. Now, me and the two other guys there with me try tell the idiot bus driver not to let him on(had gone across the street at this point), and what does she do? She let's him on, while he's carrying an open beer. And gives me a lecture about how if the bus is full I'd have to take another bus down a different street to get the next bus(it's a dumb stupid schedule), since last Tuesday(Tuesdays are my day off, so I wasn't there) she skipped this stop "because the bus was full" despite the fact that she had let someone off at the stop and then drove off(you're obviously not at full capacity if you let someone off).
tl;dr version: Crackheads and idiot bus drivers.

As per the 'nice guy' discussion, I don't get it. Nice guys do finish last. These guys finished last. That does not mean they are nice guys. If you let a girl know you are romantically interested in her and still act like a gentleman before and after you get shot down, you are a nice guy who finished last and I feel bad for you. If you are some creeper with a crush who uses politeness as a facade and expect her to 'reward' your behavior or whatever, you are scummy and I feel no sympathy for your crushing loneliness.
