Mr Nice Guy Doesn't Live Here Anymore

Eh. The jokes aren't a one-gender thing. Don't get me wrong, getting rid of male stereotypes, especially negative/harmful ones, is a good goal of the MRM. But the article made it seem a little... one sided? It's fine to talk about his experiences and stuff, but he made it seem like only men are subject to degrading jokes.

It could just be slightly ignorant blindness. But look at most reddit threads involving a girl, and they're full of sandwich jokes. f7u12 has endless comics about stupid bitches. People make fun of female drivers. And so on. And it does happen on an individual level, too. I get sexist/demeaning "jokes" from people all the time.

Yeah good article.

I think many men have had the experience of trying to help women, and I mean more than one, and been insulted or abused for their efforts, or theres just a general feeling of superiority coming from them.

I make a point of saying more than one woman, because it seems that when you help an indivdual woman on her own its a normal human transaction (smiles, thankyou's), but when there are two or more women, it seems animalistic pack mentality takes over. They feel that they now have the advantage in numbers which gives them the confidence to try and humiliate and intimidate you. Their behaviour suddenly makes you think that you are a different, lower species than them (well I'd agree with the former, but not the latter). This of course, only happens when they dont find you attractive. If they do find you attractive, they wont do it. I've got a very attractive male friend and he never has these problems with two or more women, they fawn over him, so this itself tells you its not a shit test, it truly is animalistic intimidation.

The mistake most men make is to be nice to them in the first place. They see it as a sign of weakness, and try and intimidate you. The best thing to do is ignore them, or at least act indifferently toward them.

But its sad that as a man, that we cant just be nice and help them, without having to go through this nonsense.

As a result, I dont help them anymore, I just walk away.

Oh my god, Gareth from The Office (or Dwight, if you're American) started a hiking blog! "There's no need for grunting, when gestures are more efficient". "Obnoxious and entitled princesses". Priceless! And the funniest thing is, from the quotes it seems pretty clear they were flirting with him. As I read on, I was expecting to read some horrible sexist incident halfway up the mountain, but... nope!

I didn't read the entire article because it was extremely one-sided, but I'm glad he decided to stop pretending to be a "nice guy." That puts him a evolutionary step above all the bitter, mean-sprited "nice guys" clogging the internet tubes.

Haha, does this dude have autism? Some women were being really nice to him and totally joking around with him as a total stranger and he freaks the fuck out.
