"Nice guys"
Why are "nice guys" villainized?
>nice guys are manipulative and entitled!
That's the argument, a straw man of course, but it doesn't even make sense if you think about it. "Nice guys" wouldn't complain if they didn't notice men that are clearly not "nice" get relationships while they don't. It's even weirder how "nice guys" are pathologized and called manipulative for supposedly only being nice to get what they want, but is there any social interaction where you technically can't claim people aren't doing it for themselves? Even genuine altruism would be called selfish if you follow "nice guy" logic. To be clear though, I don't think being "nice" matters that much if you want to get a girlfriend and it's probably true a lot of "nice guys" genuinely just have nothing to offer except their "niceness". But calling "nice guys" bad people is just gaslighting that somehow is seen as acceptable. Why would being mad the social contract of being nice to others and expecting that being a good person would make life easier for you make you a bad person?
