Plagued Nice Guys

Dads stopped beeing dads and moms tried to make up for it.

If zero self-awareness was a country then Menumessages would be the king.

In one of the threads he made, he indignantly accused Jennifer's boyfriend of controlling who she could and couldn't spend time with because he felt threatened by someone he'd met for only a few minutes. Aside from the Supreme Supervisor having absolutely no proof that the boyfriend was responsible for Jennifer's decision to cut him loose, he was projecting to the extreme. Not only was he himself judging the personality of some guy he had a brief encounter with, he was also plotting to have this woman declared mentally incompetent so that he could request a restraining order against the boyfriend, forcing them to break off their relationship!

The mental gymnastics he goes through to justify his behavior towards Jennifer and her boyfriend are something else. For example, he comes to the conclusion that something must be horribly wrong with their relationship because she didn't text him after returning home on the night of the fund raiser. When folks in the comments section pointed out very reasonably that she was spending the night with her boyfriend, he replied that a real friend wouldn't just assume that was the case and put it out of his mind. People were telling him that there's no reason to think she's in any danger and he stuck his fingers in his ears, refusing to listen. Most likely because he knew they were right and his ego couldn't bear it.

It's like he'd feel better if Jennifer was trapped in an abusive relationship than he would if she was truly in love with someone who's not him.

Sometimes women have boyfriends/husbands who don't let them see their friends. Most times, women use their boyfriends/husbands as an excuse to not have to deal with your creepy ass. We'll even make up a boyfriend/husband, because you are such a lunatic.

Me, a few years ago: Man, I bet workplace harassment NEVER happens anymore. There are, like, laws and stuff, right?

Me, now: Oh sweet Jesus.

 

[DrJonesHat]

When people pointed out that he was acting very controlling towards a woman he wasn't even in a relationship with, and that his attention was inappropriate given his role, he flipped out. It was hilarious when he denied having romantic feelings towards her when it was obvious he was the goddman creepy bastard that lots of couples have had to deal with.

 

[Eshettar]

He starts out by showering her with praise and hinting that a promotion is in her future. Then she mentions that she has a boyfriend and he eventually threatens to make sure she never works for another non-profit organisation again, proving beyond a shadow of doubt that this guy absolutely shouldn't have a job which puts him in charge of other people. He also reposted his version of the story numerous times, changing the details to put himself in a less creepy and unprofessional light with each retelling. In the version we're all familiar with, he said that he'd been unable to get much work done because of the situation. And then in another, he claimed that Jennifer's work performance was suffering!

I'm so relieved that she probably had the foresight to keep the nasty texts he bombarded her with, meaning that she had some proof of how he'd been behaving when it was time to go to HR. We never get Jennifer's own perspective, only hear about her through the twisted story told by Menumessages and then her boyfriend's clarifications, but she handled the situation so well.

I really need a conclusion to the whole u/menumessages saga. Did he get fired for sexual harassment? Did he convince Jennifer to leave her abusive shorts-wearing boyfriend? They can't leave us on this cliffhanger.

I hope the boyfriend gets this guy behind the school and gives him a noogie or an indian burn.

Well as I said when that post first appeared, the dude seems like the villain in a James Franco/Seth Rogen/whoever rom-com so I imagine he ended up making a big scene and falling into a cake (which obviously exploded all over the table of very important business partners/donors/whatever) at some huge important celebration/fundraiser/event of some kind, so obviously he was fired, Jennifer was given his job, and James Franco boyfriend and her go on to a poorly received sequel that in no way captures the magic of the original.

Sad all around really.

 

[Eshettar]

The question I'm left wondering is why he lied about the fundraiser being some posh gala full of tuxedos and ballgowns. Did he want people to think he was Bruce Wayne?

As you can see, these screenshots hail from a webcomic called...The Nice Guy. Yeah. That really is what the creative forces behind this magnum opus of cringe decided to go with. And as you can see, they also doesn't have a very high opinion of women.

The site it was hosted on went down but the comic survives in archived form. You can check it out here.

It's telling that you can't do anything right as a woman in a Nice Guy's world: If you're in a relationship with another man, you're a foolish pumpkin with no account for taste. But if you dare to leave said man for a Nice Guy, there will be another army of Nice Guys who'll bad-mouth you for being an unfaithful bimbo.

 

[SamTheEagle]

Call me , but I think those are satirizing social behavior in general. The Nice Guy looks bad in the first one for immediately blocking the girl out after she mentions her boyfriend, regardless of how well they were already getting along. The second's an exaggeration on what I've heard a girl call "the professional flirt," and the third's just about a guy without a rebellious bone in his body.

Granted, I haven't read the rest, but I think if it were written by a Nice Guy like we discuss in this thread, we'd see a lot more of the usual "I'm going out with this jerk!" kind of stuff.

Heh...funny you should mention that...

 

[SamTheEagle]

Let me guess, I'm going to read the rest of the comics and feel stupid for having posted that.

[Eshettar]

In hindsight, I should probably have posted that one. It would have been a far better example of the comic's tone.

Sorry about that.

Truer words have never been spoken, mylifeisashambles. The part which stands out to me is when they have a conversation over the phone while he's hunting for her in the dorm building. That's right out of Clock Tower or a Lifetime movie titled Dangerous Obsessions or something.

You could put this into a criminology textbook as an example of stalking. Shit, Brock Turner (the shitstain who raped a girl and only got six months) is in a criminology textbook under the rape chapter. Why not name and shame the asshole that @Eshettar posted?

Screen name: "helpmeplease"
Lmao, almost like his subconscious is telling him something.

Ugh, that abomination. The Sonichu of "Nice Guys".


"they also doesn't have a very high opinion of women"

-- they also can't draw.

One of the commenters asked him how he'd feel if some chick he wasn't interested in did this to him, and he said that he'd give her a chance.
