Also I agree with the notion that, here, "nice" is used synonymously with "a good person, but without character/soul".

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

Don't even get me started on the legend of so-called "Beta Orbiters". :P
...Do I want to know?

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

If there's any nice guys in here they definitely need to read.

do you think niceness should guarantee you a date?


Lolno, it all depends on your actions and how the person asked feels about it.

Have you witnessed Nice Guy Syndrome in your personal life, either from friends or prospective partners?

yes, dear god yes I've had to deal with it many times.

And is Nice Guys of OKC the best Tumblr ever, or what?

nah, I've seen better.

  • 12.20.2012 2:34 PM PDT

Well for one, if you're being nice just because you expect things from it, you're doing it wrong.

Second, if you think a girl shouldn't turn you down because you're nice, then make her out to be a horrible person if she do, that isn't very nice at all imo. There's lots of things besides for being nice, which determine if you're compatible with someone or not. The whole "nice guys finish last" statement is nothing but an excuse for guys who can't accept there MAY be something unappealing about them.

But I am nice. I think everybody should have their own opinion and I don't believe I have the right to tell anybody to do or not do anything. Tis why I have a girlfriend.

Great minds discuss ideas

Average minds discuss events

Small minds discuss people

People who label themselves as the "nice guy" do so because that's their biggest personality trait. Everyone likes a nice person, so you have to have more, like charisma or humor for example.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

OP speaks the truth.

  • 12.20.2012 2:42 PM PDT

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

It's good to be nice and all, but you gotta have more than just niceness going for you!

And I don't really think those "nice" people in that tumblr are very nice at all.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

No; being nice should be a given. You don't win a date by doing what is expected of you.

  • 12.20.2012 2:46 PM PDT

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

being nice should guarantee you their attention, in a kind of "Oi, look at me, i'm a decent bloke" kinda way but a relationship needs more than just the passing of 'niceness' from one to the other to work. there are plenty of 'nice' people out there, after all; but i definitely wouldn't date someone unless they were nice.

For that last guy it is actually illegal for your partner to deny you sex if you are french and married in france.

Your also allowed to kill because you love your partner. True fact heard it on the radio.

Also I had a girl that said "Im to nice" what does that mean?

With a bunch of betas trying to give reason as to why they're right. Oh well.

Don't say you are nice, mean or anything. Let people find out for themselves.

also, this.
saying you're a nice guy just makes you sound arrogant and obnoxious beyond belief.
in fact; if you say you're nice without a prompt, you probably aren't.

Letting herself talk to ugly people or losers and having to deal with being nice to them out of pity.

So wait, does being a dick increase the chance of a relationship?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Posted by: LocknLoader2K8
I think it should be a factor but not the definitive reason for somebody to get the person they want.
EDIT- the reason I am nice is because I like to be nice.

No but being cocky does.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

It's a real thing. In fact I was probably that "Nice Guy" once as a socially-awkward 13 year old. I've grown up and gained confidence since then thankfully.

However I still resent the 'alpha-male' rhetoric. Many people insist they're "alpha" as an excuse to belittle others and feel superior over them (but not always). In the end it's just another form of insecurity, but expressed in a different way.

Everyone should be nice, but that's just the bare minimum. I don't care if you're alpha, beta, gamma, or whatever Greek letter you can pull out your hole. Be confident, but don't be a douche.
