“Nice Guy Syndrome” is a man who believes he is a nice guy but is in fact not a nice guy. Calling yourself a “nice guy” doesn't excuse shitty behavior or a lack of human decency.
These “self-proclaimed nice guys” have no problem telling you what a "nice guy" they are but the manipulation, level of entitlement and the overall degrading perception of women make them a special kind of awful.
Most of the time "nice guys" view boundaries and the word NO as a moral injustice. They make cutting or belittling comments and then laugh it off by saying ‘I was only joking! Why do you take things so seriously?’ When you disagree with them or stand up for yourself they get nasty and mean showcasing themselves as the needy narcissist, jealous jerk, or passive-aggressive person they actually are.
They also have a certain view of a woman and how she’s “supposed” to be or act which coincides with putting women on pedestals, effectively removing their personal identity and turning them into a possession.
What’s worse is, most of the time these types of men are so convinced that they are indeed the victim of any given situation, that they are utterly and completely oblivious to their superb level of asshattery.
Do you really need props for not acting like an ass-face?
News flash... lions don't go around telling everyone they're a lion. Real nice guys don't run around telling everyone how "nice" they are.

How to spot Nice Guy Syndrome
Quotes from an ex-
But I am a nice guy. I get drunk and say dumb things. Get passed that and I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet.
I think you're scared. I'm not like those other guys. I drink and say stupid shit. That's pretty much it. I'm really the nicest guy you've ever dated.
