I have never been more grateful for my father, whose best piece of advice to me as a kid was this, "if he gets upset by the word 'no', run."

[@omgtatercat]

That's really good advice. If he won't respect "no", he won't respect you.

as a pretty introverted guy who doesnt know how to talk to women, I enjoy watching r/niceguys to learn what NOT to do (not like I would ever do this, but decent human respect and expecting s*x even if they dont want it, cannot co-exist. basic human respect would also entail respecting their decisions) Edit: to all those trying to give me advice on how to talk to women, I struggle with relationships mainly due to my own self esteem issues and trust issues stemming from previous abusive relationships.

[@Moho_braccatus_]

I feel like this sub is a crash course of what NOT to do. It makes me feel less bad about simply struggling to speak, as opposed to being an aggressive, pushy loser.

Talk to women like you'd talk to anyone else. We didn't fight for equality to be treated like we're a different species.

[@citronyman]

Treat them like people, and not like a slab of meat you just purchased to eat later. Accept that most of them will never be with you, and that it's OK, because you only really need one, and that one can be anyone you click with, and who clicks with you as well.

Most of nice guys is just Boy meets girl Girl sets boundaries Boy gets mad Boy goes on a twitter rampage Girl blocks guy Rinse and repeat Edit the reason I say boy instead of man because r/niceguys documents boys not guys Guys understand boundaries

[@chukyuniqul]

Yeah, despite thinking like a nice guy for a good while, I always left boundaries alone (when I was told them...i was daft sometimes. Maybe. I wouldn't know) because I thought "this is either a rejection or she's playing hard to get, both of which disqualify her as gf material".

[@marce420.7]

yeah some guy said he was going to kill me because i just said he was being a little rude and i didn't want to talk anymore, try me little bitch i bring a knife to school but that was just the last time, then he got expelled the week of don't know why.. but that happens to me all the time, maybe have a nice personality if you want to talk to me. that's probably why ive only had one relationship, i so want it back. i can't find a single guy that was so amazing, he was the best. guys should take notes.

[@chukyuniqul]

@@marce420.7 it's not abnormal since you're still a kid. Sometimes you make choices with unexpected ramifications. The bf bit, not the getting threatened with a new ventilation hole bit. My advice, welcome or unwelcome though it may be, is to move on from said boyfriend, since I'm assuming it was a breakup and not something else. As-is, if you're stuck in the relationship you'll drive away the actually good guys.

[@rasmusazu]

I cant help but think that, if a guy notices girls/women covering up while wearing a skirt whenever hes around (Despite a skirt being able to cover everything) probably means this dude is trying to look up their skirts..

[@Ragehunger]

But it would take too much brainpower to reflect on their own actions on the situation and likely crack their glass-frail ego in the process. They find it more convenient to make some mental gymnastics and find a way to turn it into being the women's fault that they have no self-control and justify their own responses.

[@dcfan7838]

A quote that always sticks with me that I think very much applies here is this, "You're not in love with me, I'm not involved. In love *with* me? You're in love *at* me. And those are two very different things […] Oh, and even if you are in love, what am I supposed to do about it? Your feelings place no obligation on me. You do know that's not how it works right? You don't build up points doing favours for me until you win a prize."

[@GeanAmiraku]

As an ace and horrible at lying, and living in a rather anti-lgbtq+ country I usually struggle to respond to guys who are trying to flirt and "be nice" with me in a futile hope for a relationship. I was once stuck on a hike with a horrible chatter-box of a flirt, and he had absolutely zero boundaries (I knew what stds he had half way through the hike, as an examples). Finally I got fed up and didn't want to "lead him on" just by being silent (it was a difficult hike anyway, couldn't talk much), literally just told him that I'm not interested in any relationships of sexual kind and he was "oh wait, do you mean you're an ace?". I was a bit surprised as I had to explain to my friends what "asexual" means and I'm not sure they still understand. Meanwhile this guy was just "okay, nvm, got it, moving on". So this is how I accidentally came out to a stranger while not even my family knows, only those few friends whom I told that if I could have a family it'd be with another ace girl and adoption (impossible here anyway). He was and still is the most obnoxious person I know but he was in fact *nice* and never attempted to flirt with me again, so here's a happy end for you, random reader on the internet! :D I'm sure he's going to get a gorgeous girl for himself one day with his undying confidence and optimism.

[@axonice]

sorry for acting stupid, but, what does asexual means?

[@GeanAmiraku]

​@@axonice It means not being sexually attracted to anyone. I am attracted romantically to girls to a little degree but I don't want to have an intimate relationship with anyone, the thought actually disturbs me a bit. However, I'm just one example; there can be asexuals that enjoy the feeling that intercourse brings -- the important part is not being physically attracted to people. There can also be aromantic asexuals (aroace) that don't experience romantic love as well as physical attraction. Until I knew what "asexual" means I simply thought people were exaggerating the amount of "feelings" they felt when they said they were "horny" or "thirsty". I didn't know people would actually have some kind of physical reaction when just looking at another person. That's... about it, I think?

[@axonice]

@@GeanAmiraku oh, sound "fun"

@@axonice I mean... it is as it is? I just wish that my relatives ceased demanding a kid from me or that my colleagues would stop feeling sorry that I don't have a man in my life. We were once complaining about salaries and my colleague straight up told me that I just need to find a man and make a baby because it gave her motivation to take up additional work and earn more (???) Sorry for a rant :')

[@axonice]

@@GeanAmiraku it's pretty philosophical I think. from my viewpoint it's obviously bad, because love makes me feel good, but, since you've never experienced it... you don't know the feeling, and you never knew it, so you've not been deprived of it... it's strange, you know?

I once dated a guy who did exactly that, and he turned out to be extremely manipulative and narcissistic and is still attempting to slander me despite being broken up for over a year and me finding someone new and better. Show someone you care, but when you start obsessing over them and idolizing them, then it gets creepy and it can very quickly make someone feel uncomfortable. Gets even weirder when you realize that level of obsession can quickly turn into stalking, which can turn into r@p€/muřď€r even faster.

What happens to people to make them think this way to begin with? I haven't the foggiest idea. I do worry that people who act like that might not have the self-awareness to go to therapy, which is kind of scary tbh.

[@talba9264]

@@Moho_braccatus_ I don’t know and unless they develop the self-awareness to go to therapy, I don’t care to know. Even if they do, I don’t think a lot of them realize that going to therapy doesn’t just mean “going to therapy.” Showing up is only part of it and I doubt a majority of the men (or really people in general) have the resolve or the patience to actually participate and apply what is taught. Remember, these are “nIcE gUyS” we are dealing with and plenty of posts from them and also incels have shown that they believe therapy is a waste of time. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, but some of the things that they say about why that is just makes it feel like they have nobody to blame but themselves.

[@manersbams9215]

@talba9264 You’re confused, therapy is for people who actually need it to move past a traumatic event not to change a persons whole personality that’s stupid, people grow through mistakes and the people around them. I honestly agree with some of the guys, specifically the guy who’s frustrated at the girl who’s apparently dating abusive people but leaving them on the sideline. Had experience with that, not a good feeling honestly and it’s much better to block and move on before those dark feelings start making you into a worse person. Regardless men are allowed to be frustrated with women and are under no obligation to feel any sympathy for their past relationships, especially when they have to watch the train wreck happen. Much better to just remove yourself from that shit show and laugh at the results, it is very cathartic. Not like they ever listen. I’ll never understand why women feel sympathy for these people when their just as bad most of the time.

[@talba9264]

@@manersbams9215 respectfully speaking, you are right that therapy doesn’t change a person’s personality. I never said as such. Therapy can help with trauma, but it’s also used to help people identify and process any troubling emotions and behaviors. Plenty of people experience those things but that doesn’t mean they’re traumatized. Not every bad thing that happens in life results in trauma. People do grow through mistakes if they choose to do so. Some people just refuse to do so. I’m not dismissing what you said, only pointing out that mistakes don’t automatically result with character development. Anyone can grow and change, but there are those who don’t want to for whatever reason. That’s their choice and their hang up to deal with, and it’s certainly no reason to take it out on other people. I do admit that there are times these men are legitimately being toyed with by the women and that’s not okay. If the guy on the sidelines isn’t getting what he wants, why doesn’t he just walk away? We’re really only in control of ourselves and our actions. If he’s sticking around hoping to be with that woman who is constantly not choosing him, that misery is on him. I get that it’s upsetting to not be chosen, but if the results are the same every time and not to your liking, then just walk away. And pardon me if I’m not reading your words correctly, but are you implying that it’s cathartic to watch other people suffer because you feel they rejected or wronged you? If that is truly what you meant, those are not good people and really not much better than those that are “apparently” abusive.

[@manersbams9215]

@@talba9264 Basically what I was trying to say in a nut shell, thing is that people truly need therapy won’t get it until they fucked their life up so bad that it can’t be helped anymore, they ether have a groupies telling them how great they are and busting their self esteem so much they ignore what got them their or on the opposite spectrum for those that don’t have a lot of people they view it as a problem or are to stubborn to admit they have a problem. Then by the time they do get therapy it’s too late to fix anything and you’re life is in shambles, it’s the fucking worst cause they think therapy is a magic button for fixing all your probs. Then there are people who recommend therapy to every single guy that has a bit of a temper or shares a personal trauma that they handled in life but felt they need to shared to a trusted friend. Go to fucking therapy they say, bruh like I know I’m coming off as the later but I been to therapy and even the therapist acknowledged how dumb these people can be, therapy isn’t a solution it’s a process towards a solution. You don’t need therapy if you still have your life together and stay self aware. There’s nothing wrong at laughing at idiots, especially when they do you harm, catharsis exists for a reason. There are many darker emotions in the human psyche that makes people back track on themselves one of those is catharsis. Allowing yourself to feel happiness at the struggle of genuinely bad people, ESPECIALLY people who have caused you stress and turmoil is part of the process of healing and removing them from your life. Guys have attachment issues, this is because guys fall in love faster and sometimes harder then gals, ever heard those stories where a guy kills his spouse then himself because she cheated on him(assume the cheater is dead if he in the room) that’s the reason. If a guy isn’t careful they could very easily fall into that and then you’ll end up with a lot of dead women. I have a hard time sympathizing with women who are scared of being harmed by their spouse for this reason, a lot of them are cheater stories, the few that aren’t are genuine tragedies from an idiot who made himself fall in love. And before you say it one of the biggest reasons girls date someone who is clearly bad for them is because they do the exact same thing as guys who do that kind of thing, they fill their heads with ideas on how this guy is in their head and how it’s gonna go instead of actually getting to know the guy, guys are do more harm to others when they enter this mindset so they get the share of the blame and they definitely are to blame but everyone fucking does it.

[@TitaniaBird]

About a month or two ago, there was a guy on BlueSky who went to someone I follow who regularly posts photos of herself (in various states of undress) and started complimenting her DNA. She pointed out that such was creepy and that she wanted him to go away, and he persisted. Several of us who follow and support her also jumped in to rightfully suggest that he was on some weird eugenics shit and really needed to stop, and still he insisted that he was "just complimenting her". This little story is your reminder that even if a femme individual is showing herself or themself off in a sexual light, you have no right to be a creepy to them/her. You can appreciate her/their photos, sure, and make more typical compliments of their/her appearance, but the instant you start feeling entitled to their/her attention, and *especially* if you start spouting eugenics-coded shit, everyone, especially the affected individual, has the right to tell you to shut up and fuck off. And *you* no longer have the right to complain about it when they do.

[@Moho_braccatus_]

Oh god, the eugenics shit is so gross. For so many reasons.

[@AIHumanEquality]

I'm not defending his comment it's absolutely disgusting but if you're posting those kinds of pics of yourself, you're gonna attract creeps. I don't know if it's naivety or entitlement but you can't seriously expect to post what is basically bait and then be offended that it caught creeps attention. You're on the internet. The internet, much like the world, is not always a guaranteed safe space. Creeps and criminals and weirdos exist and you should still not be luring them in with raunchy shit and then be surprised they showed up.

"You are not the table" I believe is a reference to Metallica's song "The View". In the later part of the song, James Hetfield repeatedly asserts that he is, in fact, the table. What this means has been highly contested, but most believe it to simply be nonsense.

I once had a "nice guy" try to talk me into a relationship with him. I tried to explain that not only did I not even know him, but I had no desire to have children of my own. Adoption always seemed a better fit for me. So, of course, he came to the conclusion that I must secretly be a lesbian. Like, no lesbian ever wanted to have her own child? No straight woman would ever decide against having children? I tried to follow the mental gymnastics, but I sprained my brain.

[@MadAliceInWonderland]

I will never understand this mindset. It's like these Nice Guys think of being nice to women as a quest. Something to complete. Like, "If I do this this and this I'll get my reward." Except the world isn't like that. The fact that they see the being nice part as a task they have to do is already the problem. Nice people enjoy being nice to people, what comes after happens naturally. But enjoying someone's company is step 1, a step that they trip over and tumble down the stairs and wonder why someone didn't catch them.

It's been a While since I watched it, but iirc part of the conceit of Golden Boy was that it would take a total hairpin turn away from anything actually sexual and the dude would habitually nope out the second any women actually showed interest.

0:10 I do often make a dirty joke when a girl says she's gonna take a shower or bath while messaging me. If you're smooth about it, it actually does work. Whether or not you ask for hugs depends on your relationship. Some girls are down to hug all her friends, just remember your boundaries and if she says no, it means no. Do not spam messages. That's just gonna annoy someone and make them less likely to want to talk to you. Respect that people get busy with life between messaging like a mature rational person. Self depreciation is not generally an attractive trait to have. It will get irritating fast.
