Five Reasons Why Being A Nice Guy Makes You Want to Kill Yourself


Nobody respects you.

Nice Guys are always available and free to help you. In the nice guy's head he thinks that he's depositing friendship tokens but the truth is that nobody likes owing anybody any favors. If they're able to get you to help they'll just assume you don't have any valuable time. They'll say that they owe you for whatever it is, but honestly you can't depend on them to have your back when shit goes bad.

Being a nice guy is the hardest way to learn that people take advantage of other people. No good deed goes unpunished.

You don't attract any women, period.

Doing nice things for a girl, bringing her flowers and listening to her cry and whine about all the men that mistreat her just signals to her ovaries that you're weak, needy, you want something from her, and she'll see how far she can string you along.

Her ovaries can't think, only feel, and they feel that your genes just don't match with her own sexual value so she'll never have sex with you but sleep with whoever is buff and aloof or buffaloof in a heartbeat. Her putting you in the friendzone just means, "See you in ten years."

You're treated like a sub-human slave.

If you manage to finally snag a girl who settled for you, and you end up marrying her then you're on the hook for so much shit when she can't pretend to like you anymore and divorce-rapes you.

You become a living ATM to her, having to pay off alimony and child support.

You were her beta provider, and the law will ensure you remain her beta provider even when she leaves you for more alpha dick. The courts are so anti-male that you're screwed if you have a penis. Even just being ACCUSED of anything will destroy your life.

It's not possible.

Let's be honest. You're a nice guy because you believed that girls liked nice guys. But because you expected some reward or condition to occur because you're a nice guy, that just means you're not really a nice guy.

You see? Nice guys are just full of shit. The only way you can truly be a nice guy is if you do all the nice guy things you do for her then see her having sex with another guy she just barely met and you feel glad she's enjoying herself. But when this really does happen in the real world, being a nice guy does suck, doesn't it?

The only true way to be yourself is to not be a nice guy and act in your own interest. The nicer you act, the more you sacrifice your own humanity for something that doesn't even exist. When you become so nice that you're essentially androgynous and non-sexual, she'll see that you're not a man, but a tool. That's why she always says, "be yourself."

If you have any kids (if they're your own), they'll grow up to be worthless shitheads.

Just look at how saturated Tumblr is with 14 year old bi/tri-sexuals that have taken victimhood as an identity. If you even try to fight back or defend yourself when they point at people who are very pale skinned and thin they'll call it Wight Privilege and act like they're being threatened.


satire if anyone tries to take it too seriously.

Wight Privilege

Those blue-eyed, undead shitlords!

[–]t21spectre 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Two different authors, the first who wrote about the 17 traits is pretty alpha, the second just sounds like a bitter whiny beta trying to convince himself that's what alphas are so he doesn't have to improve himself because he doesn't want an "empty life." Same bullshit feel-good type of thinking used in the fat acceptance movement.

[–]subcover 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The second article is simply retarded.

Pushing your grandmother into the wall isn't alpha.

Being a total asshole to everyone may well lead to an empty life. That has nothing to do with being alpha though.

"The day your girlfriend left you because you wouldn’t watch a single episode of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic when she told you how much it meant to her. " This was written by a "nice guy". He doesn't understand that women don't work that way. Being aloof will keep your girlfriend attracted, even though (or because) it shows you are ready to have her leave you.

I'm sorry I've been seeing this term a lot. What is hamstering?

[–]DarthRoach 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Rationalizing shit in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary.

[–]varisforge 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Or, rationalizing an event without the proper context.

The hamster runs in a wheel hoping to reach the top. Getting on top of the wheel is only possible if the hamster leaves the wheel.

Alpha is entirely about social dominance, always has been. His first point is that nobody likes you. By definition that doesn't even make sense...if nobody likes you, you aren't alpha, you're omega.

People like alphas, that's why we call them alpha, they are leaders of men and the top of the male sexual hierarchy.

[–]Glenbert 12 points13 points14 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, of you read CH that's not the definition they use. Over there, an alpha is the guy that women want to sleep with, period. I can think of several times where the person who fits this description is also universally unliked.

[–]iamirishpat 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've always thought of it as physical dominance is a conspicuous method of proving social dominance until shown otherwise.

[–]Endorsed Contributorleftajar 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This.

Humans are not gorillas. We succeed as a species because of intelligence, manual dexterity, and social cooperation.

Alpha always has meant, "the man who could effectively lead the group."

Who's more alpha, the hulking mob enforcer? Or the boss he works for?

[–]PyrrhicIntent 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Mob bosses do not rely on intelligence, manual dexterity or social cooperation as their primary means of influence. First and foremost they are the most savage motherfucker in the room.

Even acting like a "caveman" back in caveman times would get you knocked over the back of the head with a rock when your tribe gets sick of your douchebaggery

[–]drrtyfrrnr 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's argument by strawman, plain and simple. Set up a strawman, knock it down. Declare yourself victor.

I've always wondered if they get their click-bait ad revenue if your using the ad-block browser extension. Whether it is just being blocked in my browser or never loaded from their end.

[–]El_Shakiel 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They dont get any revenue from your viewing if you have AdBlock active. AdBlock editors are actually facing legal disputes for alleged unloyal competition in Europe (I believe a German court is handling the case).

God damn the comment section is full of shit. I like how people think that his previous post was sexist/misogynistic for even implying that women should have to do anything other than exist to be attractive.

He even panders to the feminists with a few of his examples and yet they still shit on him, another example of why you should never back down when idiots like these try and accuse you of being sexist, you give them an inch(preferably not) and they take a mile.

Can we make it a thing on this sub where we use donotlink for posting stuff like this? I want to read these but my hate for click bait websites is over powering my curiosity.

If being super alpha leads to an empty life, you're doing it wrong. Look at that post, that guy hasn't got a clue what he's talking about.

The day your girlfriend left you because you wouldn’t watch a single episode of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic when she told you how much it meant to her.

Oh I get it.

You turn on your side and see that it’s brake lights illuminate a My Little Pony decal.

Yup, a brony. Confirmed omega male, I'm surprised he isn't a neckbeard.

Proof that not all thoughts should be catalogued

Matt Powers a poor writer. He fails to clearly express himself, and a few thoughts that he claims to have are confused, muddled, and mostly wrong.

Both posts are drivel. At least the first one shows a glimmer of real-world understanding. The second one was completely unreadable. I crashed out after the first paragraph.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

That guy in the second article really has something against anyone better than him. The need to post that whole article shows his extreme insecurity.

[–]JohnGalt316 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

lol @ the second article

lost it at the my little pony reference

[–]TRP VanguardCyralea 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The second post is precisely what I envision an angry omega spouting. "Nobody likes you and you're an asshole loser!"

It's merely impotent rage. Whenever I see these kinds of posts they quite entertain me, they're similar to a child calling his parents "stupidheads".

The day your girlfriend left you because you wouldn’t watch a single episode of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic when she told you how much it meant to her.

Alpha Trans: The day your girlfriend left you because she walked in on you fucking her hot friend in the ass. You tried to make yourself care, but couldn't.

"3. You’re a less-evolved human."

Women prefer less-evolved humans. That's all we say on TRP.

"4. It’s not normal"

Alphaness is not a behavior; Alphaness is handsomeness. It may not be normal, but women love it.

Wrongly believing Alphaness is a behavior makes the whole empty-life article make sense.

"17 Little Things Attractive Men Do Differently"

The only thing an attractive man does is being attractive.

Once you are attractive, you can break all the other 17 rules and women will keep worshipping you.

How come I know so many built, good looking guys who are eternally single because they are basically dicks with no interest beyond themselves? These guys often do well in their teens / early 20s when we are all basically just fucking whoever we like the look of, but they usually end up on the shelf and lonely when they get older and people are looking for more substantial qualities in a relationship partner - intelligence and earning potential, for example?

[–]cooltrip 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link

Don't you prefer to succeed in your teen years with virgin women? After the wall betas will taste your semen when eating those pussies. Otherwise it'll be you tasting Alpha semen.

Exactly how bad is the personal hygiene of the girls you are fucking?

[–]1CaptainFalconer 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Sounds like AFBB to me.

But what if the reason guys are "Jerks" is because they can afford to be.

They don't need to pander, and they are used to getting what they want.

They don't need to be in a relationship to get a steady supply of sex.

[–]roparker2014 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

The terms Alpha and Beta come from the study of animal mating habits, no serious research has ever attributed them to human behavior. Human mating psychology is far more subtle and nuanced and the terms have no real meaning - most humans display traits ranging from alpha to beta, and they waver over time. This isn't the case in the animal kingdom where one male will be alpha his entire life until he is deposed. Also, it is his position at the top that makes him Alpha, not his behavior or traits. Following correct usage of the term, therefore, a skinny, weedy nerdy little computer geek with a female mate who has successfully reproduced is Alpha by default, regardless of anything else. We really need to get away from the use of terms like this if we want to be taken seriously - to anyone with a scientific background who reads words like "alpha" and "beta" applied to human mating strategy, it just sounds like a load of bro-science psuedo bullshit.

They'll post anything to get clicks. Contradictory opinions are great for that. No matter what the reader agrees or disagrees with he has a reason to click. Be it affirmation or offense.

Those are two different authors, the entire point of having different authors is to get different viewpoints. It's like saying a newspaper is contradicting itself when they run a conservative author's editorial one day and a liberal author's editorial the next day.
