Nice Guy Syndrome

A annoying mental condition in which a heterosexual man concocts over simplified ideas why women aren’t flocking to him in droves. Typically this male will whine and complain about how women never want to date them because he is “too nice” or that he is average in appearance. He often targets a woman who is already in a relationship; misrepresenting his intentions of wanting to be her friend and having the expectation that he is owed more than friendship because he is such a good listener. He is prone to brooding over this and passive aggressive behavior.

He is too stupid to realize the reason women don’t find him attractive is because he feels sorry for himself, he concludes that women like to be treated like shit.
Nice Guy Syndrome is one reason why I don't try to make friends with heterosexual men.

Men who suffer from NGS vary from the angst filled teenager with no date on friday night to the 49 year old man who has never been married or had a meaningful relationship with a woman.

Nice Guy

1. A manipulative male that forms friendships with females under the false pretense that it won't be a sexual relationship. All the while actually lusting after the female. He is then generally confused as to why the female goes after males that are open about their desires, and blames the female when it is his own fault for creating a friendship when he really wanted to date her.

2. The guy that's always there for his friends.
1. "Jim's such a nice guy, he tried to get into my pants after telling me he just wanted to be friends."

2. "Alex came through real good tonight."
"Yeah, I can't believe he bailed us all out, how much was it total $400?"

nice guy

The guy who will listen to a womans problems, support her through hard times and help her do anything she needs help with. The guy who will break his back just to make somebody happy. That's a nice guy.

And a REAL nice guy doesn't give a shit if he gets to go out with women or have sex with them, he's there for them because he wants to try and make them happy. One who expects to be rewarded sexually is no more then another fool.
Brian's a nice guy. He's not a jerk to anyone, he listens to womens problems, he tries to make his friends happy by helping them out, and he doesn't expect any kind of reward for it.

nice guy speech

Generally, a lie a woman tells a guy when she doesn't want anything to with him. Usually performed after the guy tries to 'court' the woman.

Usually followed up by "I'm not looking for anyone right now," but can be seen dating/fucking other guys seconds later.

Generally, this is just a way women try to pacify men but usually just infuriates them.
Joey: "Hey, Jenny. I really like you a lot, would you go out with me sometime?"

Johnny: "Look, Johnny. You're a really nice guy but I think we should just be friends. I just got out of a really bad relationship and don't want to date yet."

Seconds later

Joey: "Wait!? Is Jenny having sex with Dean in my car?!"

Nice guy

A heterosexual male who has been rejected countless times by the opposite gender for his lame-ass attempts to woo them. A nice guy usually expect complementary sex for something the average person would do.

The "nice guy" will pretend to be "nice" up until his rejection from his target and he will reveal his true nature as a misogynistic, inept piece of shit and referring to himself as being "friend-zoned".
Stay away from these type of people at all costs or just piss at them fucking piss at them.
"Nice Guy": HEY HOT CHICK I OPEN DOOR FOR YOU PLEASE SEX ME
Female: What
"Nice Guy": GIRLS ONLY GO FOR JERKS WHY DOESNT THE NICE GUY EVER GET THE GIRL

Nice Guy

A badge of martyrdom. Men who spend their most of their time whining about how women “just want to date jerks”. Oblivious to the fact that no one finds people who feel sorry for themselves attractive, much less people who blame others for their lack of success. Most self proclaimed “nice guys” are just as self-centered and misogynistic as the jerks they gripe about, they are just much more spineless. To stupid to figure why women don’t find them attractive, they conclude that in order to get laid they must treat a woman like shit.

They tend to befriend women with the expectation that women owe them something more than friendship, then get all pissed off when the women tells them she’s not interested. Often going after women who are already in relationships, they misrepresent their intentions and try to use emotional manipulation and the facade of friendship as an excuse to get closer to them and score with them.

The sort of man who will give my definition a thumbs down. :)
Nice Guy: Why don’t women date nice guys like me?
Honest Girl: Because, you have no self-esteem and you have to blame other’s for your problems.

nice guy syndrome

A nice guy is an informal term for an often young adult male who portrays himself with characteristics such as being gentle, compassionate, sensitive and vulnerable.The term is used both positively and negatively. When used positively, and particularly when used as a preference or description by someone else, it is intended to imply a male who puts the needs of others before his own, avoids confrontations, does favors, gives emotional support, tries to stay out of trouble, and generally acts nicely towards others. In the context of a relationship, it may also refer to traits of honesty, loyalty, romanticism, courtesy, and respect. When used negatively, a nice guy implies a male who is unassertive, does not express his true feelings and, in the context of dating in which the term is often used, dishonestly uses acts of ostensible friendship and basic social etiquette with the unstated aim of progressing to a romantic or sexual relationship.
nice guy syndrome: in the early 90s I had a crisis. I was about two years into my second marriage. I thought I had found the woman of my dreams. Yet I was frequently frustrated and resentful toward the woman I loved.
