Plagued Nice Guys

I hope she called his parents. Very few 17 going on 18-year-olds these days are in a position to be self-supporting particularly if they're going into college. They've probably only gotten his version of events, so hearing from her directly might prevent the matter from escalating.

EDIT: Fiance didn't get involved most likely because he didn't want the situation to escalate to the point blows were exchanged. It looks very bad for an adult in their 30s to start wailing on a minor, no matter how justified it might be. Kids are very emotional. Also sounds like that little shit reacted badly to being told "no" (probably over-indulged as a young child) so a fistfight breaking out was not an unreasonable fear.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for the follow-up!

How could he possibly have no idea what was going to happen? Literally everyone in the comments section warned him that this could only blow up in his face and he refused to listen to all the excellent advice being offered to him on a silver platter!

Maybe parents should tell these boys that if the girl is interested, she'll just respond positively to the first try instead of wasting time on bullshit.

It's almost like women are people too. People who can think for themselves and have the right to choose who they want to be with. Not just prizes to be won in a pissing contest between two men. Or in this case, a distinctly one-sided pissing contest between a kid playing Dungeons and Dragons and a grown man who probably didn't even notice the pout on his face.

Romeo boasts about how if she picked him, she'd able to stay home and raise their many children. Putting aside how laughable it is that some kid not even graduated from high school thinks he can provide for a wife and children despite having absolutely no life-experience to back up the big game he's talking, it never even occurs to him for one moment that she might have plans for her life that don't involve becoming a housewife. He says that he cares about her and it's his job to make sure she doesn't 'do something stupid' which is ultra condescending all by itself. But really, this isn't even about her. It's all about him. She's just a character in this story he's written in his own head where she's the princess and he's the brave knight come to save her from the clutches of the wicked baron who only wants to marry her for her wealth. Just a trophy that would prove how manly he is. Maybe he should save the heroic fantasy for Dungeons and Dragons night? Oh wait...

I hope she called his parents. Very few 17 going on 18-year-olds these days are in a position to be self-supporting particularly if they're going into college.

He talked about suing the store owner but how did he plan on paying the lawyer? Did he approach his dad and explain why he needed to borrow some money?

I like to think there was a moment of profound silence before dad sighed, shaking his head. "Son? Shut the hell up."

If I'm reading the posts correctly, it's been a month or so since he posted the initial thread. I hope the grown-ups intervened before the situation got really ugly.

When his dad spoke of the rewards of dogged determination, I somehow doubt he had pursuing a woman who's fifteen years older and who also happens to be engaged in mind.

The worst part is that the employee was only ever nice to him and her reward for that kindness was to be harassed by somebody who didn't understand the word "No." Even when she decided it was time to stop putting up with his misguided attempt at courtship, she didn't outright ban him from the store. He brought that on himself when he tried to punish her for refusing to play her part in his script. Every time she did the right thing in what must have been a distressing situation for her, he escalated until there was nothing else for it but for the owner to give him his marching orders. It's always messed up when someone gets burned because they tried to be friendly.

I'm gonna sue that DANG DIRTY SNYDER!

Ha, ha. Seriously.

You know who else he reminds me of? Menumessages! Did you know that someone claiming to be the boyfriend recently showed up to offer his side of the story? There's some debate as to whether he's the real deal or not but for anyone who may be interested...

You're forgetting tortured on the rack for three days until he confessed - three times. The sentence was a bit nastier than being drawn and quartered.

All because the king was the wrong flavor of Christian. Pop culture makes people idolize the strangest people.

Oh gosh, I can imagine the rise that'd get out of euphoric atheists. "Sorry but your favourite anonymous mask is based on a religious zealot."


Also, I need to stop calling creeps 'nice guys' without really stressing the sarcasm IRL.

I love how this menumassages guy left out important details and outright lied about what happened in order to make himself look better, and even if you take his distorted version of events at face value, he still looks like a creepy fucking psycho.

There's a reason the original meme was an Epic Fail Guy meme.

Not directly. But they generally don't know it was originally intended as a fucking joke.
