One of my friends has a new girlfriend. He’s a super nice guy. Honestly a nice guy, not a “nice guy” in the LJBF sense. The problem is, to the vagina they are one and the same thing. He’s a wonderful case study of this exact phenomenon, as every relationship he’s had since I’ve known him has basically ended after his nice guy routine snapped his then-current girlfriend’s vagina shut.
The other day we got an e-mail from a different friend sent to a large group inviting folks to an activity. Friend A’s response was that he couldn’t come because he had to work a shift in place of his sick girlfriend (they work at the same place). My wife told me it was a very whipped thing for him to do.
I got to thinking about it myself and I’m of a slightly different opinion. The thing that came to mind is Dalrock’s latest post about chivalry. If a very Alpha guy did something like this it would be very sweet and come across that way. When a very Beta (borderline Omega) guy like our friend does it, it just comes across as sad. The power is in the contrast.
