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.

Central AC guy

Definition: "Central air conditioner" or "Central AC" is a term used to describe certain individuals who cross boundaries in terms of being overly affectionate. Specific behaviors include acting as a friend but displaying excessive intimacy, excessive care, and overly familiar gestures that appear to outsiders as crossing the line. However, these individuals insist that it's merely ordinary friendliness and small talk. Even if they have a girlfriend, they continue to maintain relationships that hover in a gray area. However, those who receive this affection don't find it repulsive and actually enjoy the mildly ambiguous feeling. If there's mutual attraction, they might misconstrue the other person's intentions as romantic and develop feelings in return.

Girl 3: So, what were you guys talking about?

Girl 2 : Oh, just discussing John's behavior lately. He's been acting an ac guy.

Girl 3: Really? How so?

Girl 2: Well, he's been overly friendly, you know? Always wanting to hang out and being a bit too touchy-feely.

Girl 1 : Exactly! And did you notice how he treats his girlfriend? It's like he doesn't even realize he's crossing boundaries.

Girl 2: Yeah, it's pretty uncomfortable to witness. I wonder if she's okay with it.

Girl 1: I doubt it. But what's strange is how everyone seems to enjoy his company despite all that. It's like they're attracted to the uncertainty.
