Who are the Self Proclaimed Nice Guys here?

Post Reply New Topic

^^^ He's got a point lol

I don't know about that, Kurgan. I've met quite a few nice guys (who were REALLY not nice) offline. I'm not, of course, talking about a statistically significant sample here, but I am talking about more than thirty guys who clearly fit that criteria.

And this doesn't even touch the volume of self-described nice dudes who do not-nice things whose posts I've read at one point or the other. In my experience, they're quite common.

I'm as nice as they cum.

I think I may of been the self proclaimed nice guy before on here. I was accused of that on here & other forums but I think I get why I was acting the way I was & appeared to fit that profile. I'm not sure I am that type on the inside thou. I know I have plenty of faults at times but I try to work on them & was NEVER wanting the perfect partner who had no faults or anything. I was more attracted to desperate women who complained a lot about wanting someone & I didn't & still don't get why they wouldn't give me a chance if they were really as desperate as they claimed but I wasn't being nice solely because I was wanting a relationship with em. I was nice because I'm sensitive especially when I can relate & yeah I was hoping we could solve both our problems by getting together but I still would of been nice even if I knew we would of never get together but I wanted them to have someone who treated them rite even if it wasn't with me. I'm pretty sure I don't fit that self proclaimed nice guy type now that I'm in a relationship. I try to be nice but I know slip up some or at least don't always come off as nice & I try to work on it & genuinely want what's best for my partner becuase I love her.

Who are they? How the hell should I know?

And there you have it. This is exactly why I have a problem with the "Nice Guy™" terminology. Billiscool does not fit the standard description of a guy who is nice for ulterior motives simply to manipulate women into falling in love with him. He is just a high functioning autistic guy who has trouble forming relationships or getting dates due to his autism (plus is currently in a relationship). If that's your definition of the "Nice Guy™" archetype then you may as well add me to your list.

You probably need to check you prejudices.

Ken M was one
That rich guy who said he would kill himself when hes thirty, I forget the username.
Tim Tex

I don't pay much attention to the usernames of people I don't know. But If I come across one I'll name them. There certainly is a large audience, but I can't remember all their usernames.

I believe it was Snake123 or 321, or something.

I dispute my addition to the list, because though I have made controversial comments in the past (rather not bring them up again because I want to put that behind me--besides, they were made years ago), I have never proclaimed to be anything.

My policy has been to be as good a person I can be, and to seek advice on things that could be improved upon. While I have lamented on failed pursuits, I have focused on pinpointing what *I* may have done wrong (if anything), rather than project my disappointment at an entire gender.

No it was craig someone.

I don't recall Tim Tex ever made bitter posts, can you tell us hale_bopp why you think he's one?

Because some people view anyone who has trouble getting dates and who looks for advice as "self-proclaimed nice guys" regardless of what they claim the archetype for NIce Guy™ is or whether fit that archetype. I don't think that Tim Tex fit's that archetype at all but has indeed posted about his troubles getting dates the past or at least finding someone who fit his criteria, especially in his much older posts. If I want to, I think that I can even compile my own list of all the people on WP who have in the past been accused of being a Nice Guy™ but in fact do not fit the supposed archetype. As I mentioned before, billiscool is one of them and I also remember that another member, (who I haven't seen post anything for quite a while) who went by the username ToadOfSteel, was even sometimes subject to personal attacks when he didn't deserve it.

So wait, that means that almost all single guys here would be seen as Nice GuyTM.

Yeah, being a "nice guy" has NOTHING to do with whether or not you have a date, Jono.

Not so much just not having a date, it has more to do with ASD symptoms making it harder for them to get dates and then simply posting about their troubles the L&D forum, whether or not . Yes, I know that the general description of Nice Guy™ is guy who pretends to be nice in order to manipulate women into sleeping with them but if all guys in the L&D forum who are accused of being Nice Guys™ had fit that description then how do you explain that both billiscool and Tim Tex were accused of being Nice Guys™ in this thread alone when that is clearly not the case?

Mostly, but I also think that being named Nice Guys™ publicly in the forum is directly proportional to the frequency in which they post about their dating troubles as well.
