‘Nice Guys’ Who Weren’t So Nice After All

If you ever hear a girl talking about how she's looking for a nice guy, chances are she's not looking for the men who claim they're nice guys while proceeding to insult them or try to hit on them.

Every woman has had experience with the man who gets upset when she's not interested or feels that he's owed something from her because they're friends or he because he's been a normal, polite human being. You don't get bonus points for treating someone with common decency.

She's Lucky To Get Away From Him

You'd think that "I'm married" would have been enough to deter him, or at least enough to convince him to change the path of this conversation.

But you'd be wrong.

Just because someone is doing something in public or in front of you does not mean you have the right to comment or give your opinion on it.

That's nice that you prefer your women more natural, but she never asked.

No, Actually, I'd Disagree

Sure, I guess you could see how a man might think that spying or creeping on a woman would be considered flattering...

Nope, scratch that. There's really no positive way to spin being a peeping Tom.

Well, That Escalated Quickly

You slid into her DMs, so that means she automatically has to be interested in going out with you or hanging out with you?

Someone, please explain that logic. You're not doing her a favor by giving her a compliment, and she doesn't owe you anything in return.

And he probably claims it's because women don't realize what a catch he is or how nice he is...

As if giving good service and being polite isn't their literal job.

Go Ahead And Block Her

A truly nice guy, or just a nice person, would not get upset with someone for setting boundaries and being uncomfortable with someone flirting with them when they're in a relationship with someone else.

If setting boundaries is worth a block, then block away.

Unsolicited Nudes Are Never The Answer

Did he really think that sliding into a woman's DMs by sending her nudes when he hadn't spoken to her in years and had no prior relationship with her was going to be effective?

Why would he think that? Truly, it had no chance of success.

Why Can't They Just Be Friends?

It's okay to make your intentions known or tell someone you have feelings for them, but if they don't feel the same way, that's the end of it.

Not every woman is secretly harboring feelings for every man they're friends with.

This particular tweet may have been written in jest, knowing how it would come off, but the problem is that some men actually feel this way despite not knowing anything about a woman's relationship.

Well, strangers watching resentfully from afar, have you considered gaining social skills, self-awareness, and confidence?

Any man who tries to make you feel embarrassed or dumb for being slightly nervous or worried about going out with a stranger you met on the internet is not going to be worth your time.

The Friend Zone Doesn't Exist

Maybe if you spent a little less time commenting things like this on Facebook and more time getting to know a woman you're interested in, you might have a better success rate.

Honestly, if a guy says anything about the friendzone, it's a bright red flag.

Maybe They Don't Want You To Provide For Them

"700 pounds of beef" seems like one of those things that only a very specific type of person would consider to be attractive, so maybe he should try not leading with that fact as one of his top attributes.

Then again, maybe he'll find his extremely specific lady by leading with what he thinks of as his top attribute.

Why does it seem to be that whenever a man uses the argument "not all men," they almost always end up being the type of men that you're talking about in the scenario?

It's another red flag, and the people saying "not all men" are climbing up the flagpole to raise it by hand.

Probably Just Not Interested

That was barely enough time for the messages to even be delivered.

Being "nicer in person" isn't really something to be advertising on the internet. It's also not something that is going to make people want to meet you in person.

You should start with being nice and then be meaner in person, if anything.

We're going to take a wild guess here and say that this man's issue is not that he is a "boring gentleman" that women don't want to spend time with.

His problem seems to be that he hates women, yet at the same time desires them. It's a sadly common theme.
