Excerpt from the book: Fundamentals of female dynamics by Michael Knight

"A common scenario is when a so called ''nice guy'' valiantly charges into an interaction in an attempt to save a woman from enjoying herself, while she is in a provocative conversation with another man.

It normally begins with the ''nice guy'' witnessing another man successfully flirting with a woman in a fashion which he personally believes is unbefitting to her. He then chooses to ignore the fact that the woman is actually enjoying herself, and if she wanted to end the interaction and leave, there is nothing preventing her from doing so.

Unlike the woman, perhaps the ''nice guy'' cannot distinguish the difference between the confident man's words and their intent. In order to protect the idealized image that he as of this woman, along with his own personal worldview, the ''nice guy'' feels that he must quickly act before any further contradictory evidence presents itself.

However, for this man to even feel the right to intrude on the interaction, he must first believe that he is more entitled to the woman than the other man. Thus the ''nice guy's'' entire actions are derived from an unhealthy view with regards to entitlement. Ironically, he is also using this unhealthy sense of entitlement to justify that he himself is good enough for the woman.

He believes that if the woman is willing to receive the ''cocky guy," then she would also be likely to entertain him. He thinks: ''I am not only richer and slightly better looking than 'Mr. Cocky' over there, but most importantly of all, I am a nice guy!'' However, as we know, a ''nice guy's'' actions are often extremely dishonest.

Firstly, it is terribly condescending to treat a woman as if she does not have the ability to choose the people with whom she interacts. After injecting himself into the interaction, the ''nice guy'' then proceeds to lie to the woman about his actual intentions.

His desire is not to actually provide for the welfare of the woman, but instead to either protect his own worldview, win the woman over for himself, or at the very least feel validation for delivering some self-contrived social justice."
