“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.

This means in sex a nice guy, or good guy will wait for the girl to arrive first then will follow shortly behind
by intuition of a individual March 20, 2024
A guy that is so civilized that he can't get laid. He follows orders, acts polite, breaks no rules, follows the law. He respects people and respects girls. When girls do come onto him, he remains under his "civil" nice guy act... and doesn't get laid as a result.
That was the archaic meaning for nice guy. In todays society however, nice guys are more than just civil.Some of them are just plain unattractive and just creepy as can be- and never get laid cause they think they are attractive but actually are not and put on a repulsive act towards women that draws them away.

Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke was an example of a nice guy. Even though he was a nearly 7 foot tall handsome man, he was a cop that didn't want to lose his job. So he would come every night down town to the bar and talk to Kitty, have a drink, talk to his friends,and put on his nice guy civilized act. When girls came on to him and tried to talk him up about getting married, having kids- Matt Dillon didn't even put them into the equation. He just followed the law, did his duty and kept his job, and didn't get laid as a result.

Self perceived nice guys/girls who expect to be rewarded for the bare minimum. The word is more common in the dating world but can be applied to people who wallow in their self-pity, whining they deserve more than what they were given in life. Usually misguided individuals who experienced many misfortunes.
"Ugh, of course they picked Geoffrey over me at the job listing. They would actually prefer assholes over me!"
"And let me guess, you put "nice guy" in your CV? Get over it, man. There are other hires available."
