Nice guy syndrome

“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.

Nice Guy

Nice guys are demi-gods. A benevolent all giving entity, too pure for this cruel world. Unwanted by this ungrateful society, he does everything for others without receiving his fair share of sexual currency. Never fuel their wrath by reminding them that maybe what they have done is self-interested and hurtful. A nice guy hates nothing more than to be portrayed as "the bad guy". The nice guy can be found on a god-complex pedestal. Beware those too naive to know the perils of the nice guys' spider web.

Nice Guy

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!"

Nice Guy

Normal guy who loves and respects women but gets always friend zoned or even blocked by girls . why? because women aren't clever, and prefer guys who insult them and ignore them even if they die , those guys wouldn't give a fuck.
