Plagued Nice Guys

[Eshettar]

Once she's firmly rejected them, most of these self-proclaimed Nice Guys settle for insulting the girl and then looking for another unsuspecting target for their obsession.

Then there are the guys whose lives seem to depend on getting the last word in. The guys whose egos are so gargantuan and yet so frail that the most gentle rebuff can compel them to deliver a smug lecture about the feeble-mindedness of the woman who's rejected them. Like they think they're Hannibal. Come to think of it, that may not be a bad comparison to draw. Doctor Lecter and the woman who's forced to listen to his sinister monologue are separated from each other by prison bars, much like the Nice Guys and their miladies are often separated by the screens of their computers.

I wonder if this guy was standing in front of a fun-house mirror while texting the girl. His self-image is so fabulous and yet tragically distorted.

"All the nice things he's done for her". The girl says she never knows what will set him off but the pattern seems pretty simple: he becomes extremely verbally abusive every single time she gives any answer he's not looking for.

To be fair this guy could have treated her nicely and all that crap. However that doesn't matter if he blows up and calls her immature, blind, etc if he gets an answer he doesn't want to. I don't think anyone will ever be mature enough for this guy unless they have the mental age of a 13 year old.

I think it's clear he doesn't actually want a "mature" woman. He says that to sound enlightened rather than entitled, but what he really wants is a passive woman who will capitulate to all his demands all the time. That's clear from the fact that any amount of resistance from the current target of his desires causes him to explode in a toddler tantrum. Truly mature women have agency and can stand up for themselves, which he can't stand.

I found a goldmine.

Women of Reddit, what’s your cringy “nice guy” story?

In regards to that first story, short dude's so-called "friend ship" with the random lady would be dead from there on. Even if he tries to justify that shit as "I was defending you m'lady", all he really does is show the random woman he looks like a complete psycho.

During his tirade, he insults the girl by calling her a baby. It's another one of those moments which would make Doctor Freud scribble feverishly on his notepad because it says a whole lot more about the guy than the girl he's raging at.

For example, his insistence on holding her hand while they crossed the street. What he thought of as sweetly romantic probably made her squirm with discomfort and think "What's the matter with this guy? Does he think I'm going to step out into the traffic while the light's red?"

I think her reaction was likely more, "We have to hold hands to cross the street? Is this guy mentally five?"

He repeatedly touts how awesome he is. I think I'll generalize the forum rule to "if you have to tell people you're a certain thing, you're probably not".

 

[AmpleApricots]

The first stabbing story sounds like BS IMHO.

Best. Stepdad. Ever. We can only aspire to be as snarky as he.

 

[speedcore]

That dad gives 0 shits and I love it.

 

[DrJonesHat]

I hope he showed his daughter the texts and they laughed together.

I agree. That man deserves a medal. I wish more dads and stepdads were this involved--and hilarious--in keeping creepers away from their kids. Also, if this 15 year old twit had to text this girl's stepdad to try to talk to the girl, I'm preeeeeetty sure it's because she refuses to talk to him, and he thinks going through the stepdad will get him an in. Nope!

Especially one who can shitpost.

Can’t think of anything better to do during father-daughter bonding.

exactly- there is no way in living hell he actually wants a mature woman who can hold her own and not blindly give into the demands of some guy because he said so. He's trying to break her down into doing exactly that by insinuating she's immature for defying him.

He's not very smart...

 

[ZeCommissar]

Wtf is that name censoring? I can read through all of it.

Weak niggas: May I speak to your daughter sir?

WOKE NIGGERS: "Plz sir i have not talk to her in 2 year

 

[Overcast]

When your dad finds out about memes.
