nice guys

Love it! This shit is true. But what confuese me is this: This could as well on r/feminism. We seem to have some common ground after all. "Nice Guys" are Losers. And OFTEN they're feminists.

It was about 2-3 years ago when a situation arose between me and my gf where we ended up not talking for a couple of days. As more days went by I began to get more anxious, contemplating wether I should act proud not talking to her or break the ice and contact her first. The dilemma was that, of course, if I were to reach out first I would feel guilty about being the "nice guy", a term I wasn't very familiar with so I googled "nice guys" and "nice guys finish last" and this website was one of the top results that came up.

It was one of the worst and best things I had come across. It was an epiphany similar to what many of you noobs go through when you first come across the redpill and have some sort of breakdown. Anyways, what I really want to get at is that this website has been up for a while, written by and for women, before this subreddit got as big as it has. When people get disgusted and angry by what this subreddit represents and tries to accomplish please link them this website to show that women themselves have been preaching what we know now years before redpill was a thing. Sidebar this as a matter of fact.

Excellent catch, archive.org tells me the article is from at least 2002. It has many TRP truths with no sugarcoating.

"You don't have to be an ego-inflated, arrogant jerk. You just have to LIKE yourself. You have to know what you want out of life, and go after it. Only then will you be attractive to the kind of woman with whom a long-term relationship is possible."

In other words, a narcissist.

I spend a few minutes each day wishing I were less vain and a lot less impressed with myself. But then I go back to my usual entitled, lazy, self-worshipper.

This article was the slap in the face I needed many years ago. Probably the tipping point of me in terms on taking on self-improvement. But I'm of the mind that everyone is fighting a battle somehow. Some folks become 'nice guys' via upbringing, environment, lack of positive role models.

Although I think nice guy behavior is weak and passive aggressive, I don't think these guys are the evil manipulative assholes that the feminists, and increasingly general mainstream culture has made them out to be. I don't believe in kicking people while they're down. But once they learn that their behavior is weak and misguided through hard lessons, the manosphere, and other sources, and they don't step up and CHANGE, my empathy for them stops and ends there.
