Nice Guy Syndrome

Share definition
A phrase given by women who just don't want to sleep with ugly men but want to label them something because everyone needs a label. It's not good enough that you are the nicest person they ever met. They have a preconceived opinion of who you are and that is the nice guy who does things for them and gets used. You are being used by your female friend. If you try to be a jerk because she likes jerks and she only wants to date jerks, she will stop talking to you because she doesn't think of you as a jerk. You are her security. You are her beta male who gives her things and she needs you to survive yet she is going to have sex with the biker dude who doesn't care about her. They are going to have lots of sex while you sit at home fantasizing about your dream girl. The truth is that she is never going to talk to you in a sexual or romantic manner unless she can get something from you. Do not give her money. The rude, selfish women you are attracted to just don't care about how nice you are. Being a nice person will pay off in the long run but do not wear your heart on your sleeve. Make the girl work for your attention and affection. If she doesn't care about you that way then she never will. Don't waste your time on someone who doesn't care if you are nice to them. Talk to that nice girl who keeps looking at you, but is too shy to say hi. Really a shame that nice guy syndrome has replaced the whole concept of being a nice guy. Basically you are being used. Stop being used.
Wow that girl is totally taking advantage of how nice that guy is by making him buy stuff for her! She must think he has nice guy syndrome or is really, really desperate for a girlfriend and is totally using him!

This disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior) i.e. thinks he is a First Nation Chief when in fact he is the son of european immigrants from New Jersey, symptoms include but are not limited to: complete disregard for anyone's point of view, especially ... See Morethat of 'ethic' people, because his is of course the only 'ethnic' point of view that matters. This creates an overwhelming need for admiration, the white guy is always right -and usually has a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance to anyone one they meet, and that their opinion trumps any real life experience or first hand knowledge. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today. People exhibiting this syndrome tend to become exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends. Plastic Shammen, Wannabe's, new ageist, Twinkies and the like have a higher percentage of falling victim to this syndrome than any other group currently. This Personality Disorder is characterized by an enduring pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving which is significantly different from the person's culture and results in negative consequences.

Only guy syndrome

When you become attracted to a guy you’re with often simply because there aren’t other options at the moment.
Kate - omg, I can’t stop thinking about Jack from the office.

Jess - it’s just the only guy syndrome. He’s the only decent looking guy in the office and you’re there all the time.

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.

tough guy syndrome

Tough guy syndrome is when a guy who can do almost anything thinks he's infallible all the time and does stupid things thinking he won't get hurt or suffer the consequences. A guy who defines himself as 10 foot tall and bulletproof, man of steel. Cockiness. Its also the guy who is always working on something.
My man would not turn the breaker off when doing electrical work because it doesn't really hurt when you get shocked by 110. Tough guy syndrome is a real thing.
