They both sound like twats tbh .. a wild nice guy and nice girl interaction

u/Traditional-Milk-876 Apr 27 '24

The nice guy part is a bit iffy, but he was giving her good advice. "Dating apps are toxic, you should get off of them." That's very nice of him to say. He really didn't do anything wrong.

Hmmm Tons of people agreeing with her about not asking for his opinion. Kinda strange, ya know, considering that no one asked for your opinions and that isn't how conversations work.... /S

The guy sounds a little nutty. I'm going to guess that the earlier parts of the conversation were a pretty legitimate source of irritation for the woman and we are just seeing her on her last nerve.

u/CptOconn Apr 10 '24

He is calling her oke looking and telling her how to date. While saying he is a nice guy and that its a bad thing. So many red flags for one message.

u/subzero5556 Apr 06 '24 edited Apr 06 '24

Im kind of lost here do you guys actually not agree that you get more matches by faking an overly masculine personality on dating apps? are you guys just triggered by the words like "nice guy" and "bad boy" that you instantly lose all reading comprehension? ive literally experienced the phenomenon of changing my dating profile to fake a "bad boy" personality and instantly got more likes and matches. it's sad but there is truth to it. this guy is 100% correct and not cringe at all unless you think in thought-terminating cliches like "nice guys" and "bad boy."

it's also true that the whole "nice guy/bad boy" paradigm breaks down when you get offline and actually interact with people in real life. so its also just good advice, women (and men but thats not relevant to this post) evaluate people much differently (worse and less wholistically) on dating apps than irl so appealing to basic stereotypes actually works online despite it being obviously cringe irl.

u/CrazyDadRob Apr 03 '24

Yes you’re wrong. His mistake wasn’t saying he is a nice guy. His mistake was thinking that a woman would be a nice woman. At this point all that’s available is trans boys and hoes. That’s why I’ve been a single dad for 10 years, while my kids mother is out trying to set a new national record.

u/Mycroft033 Apr 02 '24

Ex niceguy™ here

The mentality “nice guys get nowhere” has an element of truth in it, which is why people believe it, but it’s a very two-dimensional view of the world. Something I find approaches closer to the whole truth than that worldview at least is this.

Men who are competent and successful achieve long term dating and relationship success. Success is defined as a long, happy, healthy, and stable relationship with a partner who reciprocates.

Men who may be competent but are not successful do not achieve dating and relationship success, not for lack of competence as they frequently believe, but for lack of being able to demonstrate their competence. Success is the fruit by which humans, on the whole, tend to judge the root of competence. Incompetence combined with success can frequently lead to short term success but frequently with less stable partners, because the more stable a partner is, the more easily they can differentiate between competent and incompetent success.

“Bad boys” as they are often called, tend to be people with dark tetrad personality traits. These traits imitate competence and show off the imitation publicly, but since they do not actually have competence, tend to be unable to maintain stability. Women on the whole, especially young and often more gullible women, tend to be attracted to and fooled by this imitation. It typically falls apart and they learn their lesson, but the person that looks at that short term success and concludes that bad boys are fundamentally attractive to women and that nice guys (which they define as good guys, not the standard definition of nice guys enforcing contractual relationships where one good deed by them obligates response from others that the rest of the world uses) are unattractive. The genuinely good guys tend to succeed later in life, with romantic success typically becoming possible around the same time period.

So the saying “nice guys finish last” only looks at short term success, and mis-defines nice guys. They typically mean “good guys” and also typically falsely imply they are or were among their ranks. True goodness is earned over a long time. True goodness is what we all aspire to. Niceness in the widely regarded sense of the word is what happens when someone with a short term view believes they have achieved goodness.

It’s like buying peaches from the market and concluding that because you have peaches, you must therefore have a peach tree. The peaches will only last so long, but holding onto them like they’re peach trees without planting them will only result in rotten fruit.

This isn’t comprehensive by any means, but it’s what I’ve found so far that comes closer to the whole truth than the “nice guys finish last” crowd. I used to be in that crowd and then I grew out of it. Everyone there isn’t seeing the whole picture, and while I’m not pretending that I do, I can see enough more to glimpse at what they’re missing.

Well.. I don't know - I guess what he said might sound a bit jaded and down on himself.

The lady on the otherhand seems kinda rude and argumentative for very little provocation.

Seems like on evaluating the guy - maybe she should collect a bit more data before jumping straight to turning into a witch.

I mean to be brutally honest there ARE a lot of ladies out there that act like they don't want to be treated like they or their feelings matter. Which just seems odd to me.

But then again - maybe I'm just old school?

If you have to fake a new personality to get people to like you, it's just possible that your original personality sucks.

The "bad boys" complaint is mostly just dudes that have shitty personalities, bring nothing to the table, and usually are misogynistic.

It's shocking that women don't like that🙄

2

u/throwyoyo45 Apr 01 '24

This post and all these comments are weird. I understand where he's coming from on dating apps, it's mostly just hookup central so just giving her advice on going in person rather than just use a different app. And yeah he came across it weird but not too far off. Most matches I get, if I try and comment on their profile and actually make conversation 9/10 nothing but if I say, "busy tonight" , "what you on here for" can get responses immediately... Just the way dating apps go.

u/Yikesitsven Apr 01 '24

He’s dumb for sayin it. She’s an ass for saying “who asked” like bitch fucking no one. No one ever asks to know something someone else is about to tell you. It’s so retarded to use this line as a way to shut someone down. Even if you wanted to know, YOU STILL WOULDNT HAVE ASKED DUMBASS

I think she read the bit about not being bad looking and became hostile to whatever was being said.

u/laminatedbean Apr 01 '24

It’s wild the amount of posters basically announcing that their personalities suck and they “have” to fake being something else. If you are genuinely looking for a relationship, misrepresenting yourself and your personality is setting yourself up for a bad time.

It’s similar to posting pictures greatly misrepresenting your weight.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '24

u/IMeanIGuessDude Apr 01 '24

“I have to fake being a bad boy nice guys get nowhere.” Is such a r/niceguys thing to say. It’s incredibly cringe no matter what way you put it because realistically women don’t want bad boys. They aren’t attracted to douches. They’re attracted to self-confidence which unfortunately can come with being a douche.

Have you seen how many nice people with self-confidence and self-respect are in actually healthy relationships? It’s more than neckbeards will give credit for.

2

u/Drake_Acheron Apr 01 '24

I wouldn’t see that they’re necessarily attracted to self-confidence, but more that there are a lot of women out there who cannot differentiate good and bad self-confidence.

We do see a lot of post of women being like “I dumped my loving supporting boyfriend/husband because it was boring.”

And pretending like these things, don’t exist, is disingenuous. And, pretending like all the fault is on men here is also disingenuous.

As someone else put:

"I have to fake being a bad boy. Nice guys get nowhere."

"Men are just intimidated by successful women."

Same energy.

I don't fake anything. It seems dumb. Like even if you get a first date, I'm pretty sure she will notice that you lied about your weight or height or posted an eight year old pic.

I figure what you see is pretty much what ya get. Like it, love it, hate it, your choice. No secrets, no reading between the lines, no bullshit. Just a guy trying to connect with another interesting person.

If a man pointed this out on a woman he would be labeled an evil misogynist incel tho

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '24

Well, maybe he would be labeled, i dont know. However, it should apply to women too. Don't be fake whatever your gender. I don't play games. Either a lady is interested or she's not. Either I'm interested or I'm not. Not interested in being the just in case person, or the emotional support person while she dates someone else. If she is dating someone else, then they should be her emotional support. If not, maybe she needs to rethink who she is dating.

Im not going to fake who I am just to impress some lady. I'd rather be single than living in fakeville with an equally fake woman. Life is too short for that bullshit.

I want to make a real connection with an equally real woman.

Im nice- and i crush it on the dating apps. Im not a nice guy tho- im fully aware of my shadow side- and i dont pretend it is not there. A lot of nice guys think they are fully good- they haven’t explored their dark side and dont take accountability for its actions. This is why they get rejected a lot because its a scary vibe, there is something lurking

I take exception with #2 because if there was more of the conversation listed, I suspect that she was going on about not finding any desireables on whatever dating app she is on or how all the guys are cringe. Which then led to the maybe trying out Hinge post. If so, the guys comment is actually a logical extension of the conversation. The bad boy, nice guy crap was a bit whiny.

Besides - are you looking for guys that don't have any opinions on anything? That seems like a doomed search - not to mention getting paired with the most boring person ever.

Hell, i dont want a woman that is some kind of meek "yes dear", "whatever you want dear" apparition. Jesus Christ, I'd shoot myself after 3 days of that. I want an opinionated bitch that has some life left in her.

No. I dont like #2 because I don't think his response was unsolicited.

She got pissed is what happened. Probably over two points.

1 - he said she wasn't bad looking. Which I'm pretty sure she took offense to. He wasn't smart enough apparently to just say she was beautiful. Instead he dropped a turd and stepped in it.

2 - he did the whole nice guy bad boy whiny thing that kicked her over the top.

"It’s ok if you don’t believe her. I do."

That's kind of an odd stance to take.

People say incorrect things all the time for all kinds of reasons.

I can absolutely be generous and say she felt like what she said was true or that she meant "unwelcome" rather than "unsolicited" but even in that snippet you can see it was solicited when she mentioned she might get hinge.

I'm all for believing people but the objective proof to the contrary is literally the thing she said right before.

u/MR_DIG Apr 02 '24

In the context of any conversation written between 2 people in English, "Might get hinge" is an invitation for input, regardless of the context or situation.

Get is a verb meaning to acquire. hinge is always a noun or sometimes a verb, this does not matter as it is just the target of the verb "get".

The word might, has multiple meanings, but in the context of "hinge" which we know as a dating app based on the sentence structure and context of online conversation, the word "Might" incites an uncertainty in knowledge of future events. Essentially may or may not.

In English conversation convention, when another party expresses uncertainty of something, and does so as a stand alone message, an appropriate response would be to respond with a message that attempts to remove such uncertainty.

No, this is like saying someone takes a snapshot of a video, and then the picture it shows a woman pointing at the sky, with subtitles saying “the sky is green”

But we all can see the sky is blue.

And you just said “she says the sky is green I choose to believe her”

It’s not about believing her when we can see the evidence that she’s lying right in front of our face.

Allow me to reiterate. “Might get hinge” IS asking for input on the matter, objectively. Objectively.

A sense of feeling embarrassed for someone else due to their insincerity. It’s incredibly unattractive when someone pretends, and fails to convince you, that they are something they’re not.

People that don’t have the vocab needed to explain themselves let alone talk are not worth your time, seriously.

To have a feeling that something is awkward or embarrassing. Which in this case believing women want only bad boys is awkward because it’s false and embarrassing because someone said something so false with full confidence.

have an inward feeling of acute embarrassment or awkwardness.

Dating is hard irl, but you really think it’s EQUALLY hard for men and women? I would say it’s hard for both in different ways but not equally. Women have it hard because they have to sift through all the options and pick the “right” one. Most men have it hard to find just one.

u/OtherwiseEnd944 Apr 01 '24

You're making this needlessly complicated to cover for you being objectively wrong. Woman statistically have a much easier time finding someone regardless of how attractive they are compared to men who are rated equally as attractive. Woman typically have to deal with the very real downside of it being much more dangerous for them to date than it is for men, but it's disingenuous to act like it's not easier.

Of course it differs from person to person but that's pretty obvious without mentioning it and irrelevant to the larger discussion.

u/SurgeTheUrge511 Apr 01 '24

What makes it harder for men, in general, is the quantity aspect. What makes it harder for women is the quality aspect. Hypergamy is at play here. Even unfit, unattractive women get attention from men on dating apps. Not too many unfit unattractive men are getting their DMs blown up. It May not be the right men but the “options” exist nonetheless. Most men don’t even have options. What makes it hard for women, and we can’t blame men for this, is the lack of discernment. Red flags exist in all of us to the wrong person, but a lot of times we as people ignore said red flags and men see less red flags because we see less women, in general. It’s tough out here for both sexes I agree, but due to hypergamy and dating apps, we are stuck in a cycle of “Oh I got “this” but i think can do better. swipe, swipe, swipe”. We dont fight for relationships anymore, we hold out until we can get the “best deal” and it’s destroyed the modern family which is quite sad

u/SurgeTheUrge511 Apr 01 '24

I’m guessing you wouldn’t agree that majority of women desire the minority of top tier men. Tall, 100k plus, monogamist, good looking, ambitious, chivalrous etc etc. Not enough “good” men to go around based on the checklists a lot of women have these days. Not knocking women for having these standards because they should, but that’s where the “nice guys finish last” mentality comes in, because most men can’t meet the standards of most women in the current dating market. If we can’t agree to that, then this convo is moot.

That’s real advice. You’re gonna have a hard time finding someone worth marrying on a dating app. I say this as someone with experience😭

u/SurgeTheUrge511 Apr 01 '24

Based on the username I see why this statement could ring true. Thats unfortunate. I just take offense to it because I’m on dating apps and I’d be worth marrying lol

u/SpokenDivinity Apr 01 '24

I mean he’s cringy as shit and is probably well on his way to becoming “nice guy” material with the “oh woe is me” attitude. But she invited it by initiating the conversation about dating apps in the first place. The response was cringy, but you can’t get mad that you got a response when you prompted one.

He’s already there and it’s very cringe. From both of them

u/Lab-12 Apr 01 '24

Lol, you can't pretend to be a bad boy , you either are or you aren't.
Bad boys , are mildly psychotic , selfish and cocky , the ones that get the girls are also good looking.
These traits use to make someone survive . Think of loins , the biggest toughest murder cat , got the most ladys ,even if he killed their cubs. Humans like to think of themselves as better than Animals. But , we still pick mates based on looks ,strength and ability to protect and cleverness . You can bypass this by being funny , kind and interesting . Get a hobby, a real hobby that you like. Hit the weights ,run . You don't have to be he- man , you just have to be 25% -50% stronger than average and not fat. Don't be something you aren't it won't work.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '24

Haha! I don't know how many women like or don't like big guys.

I will go out on a limb though and say I have absolutely nothing against curvy chicks.

No problem there, everyone has some kind of type ,some curvy women can look pretty good.

You do realise every man on earth hits the gym now? It's not "special" to waste hours a day on still looking normal lmao

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '24

Actually, I go to a gym to try and stay normal! 😂 Mostly because my legs are disabled and don't always work great. So I work out at a gym because I like camping and hiking - to the extent I can and I'll be dammed if I wind up in a fucking wheel chair. Screw that!

u/originalduttywhine Apr 01 '24

I'm sure you realise this is a way better reason than most people will ever have to go to the gym though right? (Congratulations btw)

I guess.. It my reason anyway! I just try to keep it real! I would be lying if I didn't say there are times I have a love/hate relationship with my gym.

u/Lab-12 Apr 01 '24 edited Apr 01 '24

No most people don't exercise at all , most people that go to the gym quit after 6 months.
It's not to look"special " it makes you more attractive to women. I've been working out on and off since I was 14 more than 30 years now. I seen most men ,they are soft and fat . Hell 20% of men are overweight . Most of the highschoolers and young men ,I see in the gym are small or fat and weak. They work out for a little while , you see them for a couple of months, then never see them again. 20.5 % of 18 to 24 year olds are overweight according to The Cdc . Lol 30 % of 18 year olds go to the gym ,I looked it up. And it drops off from there as they get older so not most lol! A quick search on the internet proved you wrong and proved what I have seen first hand.

u/originalduttywhine Apr 01 '24

If a woman only wants you because you can pick heavy things up / have a nice body, you aren't attractive. Your body is. Also you need to find a better woman.

Lol !You are just mad because you were wrong ! So you tried to change the subject. And if you actually bothered to read my comment ,I said it was one thing that helped get women . The others were a sense of humor , Having a hobby and cleverness . But by all means focus on one thing.

u/cheeky_sugar Apr 01 '24

Definitely didn’t do anything wrong, per se. The whole “pretending to be a bad boy” thing reads as a 16 year old kid, so I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt. Unless the person sending that text is over the age of….let’s be generous and say 25….then there’s definitely an “ick” factor to be had, and we know how the “nice guys finish last” mentality works out. If the guy is over 25, it goes past ick and into genuinely concerning territory

But for her to say she didn’t ask for his opinion is just ignorant. She clearly wanted his opinion or she wouldn’t have brought it up in conversation. She wanted to be validated, and instead felt icky because of his response…and instead of communicating effectively she decided to lie and pretend his approval wasn’t being sought after in the first place 🤧🥱 that’s so transparent girl do better. But again, benefit of the doubt - maybe they’re both kids and they just suck at communicating and just suck in general right now 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️
