These nice guys, the often physically unattractive men who overcompensate for their physical and social shortcomings with clingy and over-the-top behavior to women, are relentlessly mocked online.

Dr. Robert Glover, who's studied the issue, agreed that these men are often trying to form "covert contracts" with the target of their affections.

Psychologist Dr Jesse Marczyk told The Independent: "The men who tend to get stuck in the friend-zone might not be attractive enough on their own (physically, socially, or otherwise), and so try to compensate for their shortcomings by investing in women more than their peers. In other words, they might use kindness to try and make up for what they lack elsewhere."

Their logic dictates that if you meet someone's needs without them having to ask, they should meet yours. So if a man is nice to a woman, she should repay him by becoming his girlfriend, because that's only fair.

"Others typically do not realize these contracts exist and are often surprised when the nice guy lashes out at their failure to keep their end of the deal."

Yeah, about that... I am a guy who's been friends mostly with women throughout my life. Not because I expected them to have sex with me, but because I genuinely valued their friendship. Lo and behold, more than a couple of them ended up having sex with me. Even if that didn't continue, we remained friends. In one case it DID continue, and we've now been together almost 5 years. ❤️

If you're not 'conventionally attractive' (which is frankly arbitrary and constantly shifting), you have a few options: 1.) Be GENUINELY kind and friendly without expectation, 2.) be a good listener/conversationalist, 3.) learn to cook, play an instrument, or something else interesting/entertaining, 4.) have a good sense of humor and quick wit, 5.) learn to have sex well (which mostly seems to come down to communicating and focusing as much or more on your partner's pleasure/needs), 6.) accept affection from women who are attracted to men without conventional looks. Note that the others are NOT a substitute for #1. Bonus point for combining all of them. I guarantee you most women care more about all that other stuff than the size of your d**k or the strength of your jawline, or height. Certainly the ones worth your time, anyway ;)

Ooof this was a painful read. So much hormonal rage from these guys. A lot of them need to put down the phone, take care of themselves and have a nap. The rest need to see therapists.

They need to put down the phone and open a dictionary, to see the definition of the concept of "nice". (Nah, I don't think that would make them understand....)

Ninety percent of these dudes I would have blocked without warning after the first couple messages. Way too many of these women tried to be polite for way too long! If someone calls you a bitch or slut, LEAVE and BLOCK.

as an Aro/Ace, I'm always fascinated by how much value does sex brings to a person. does it really matter that much whether you had to have sex with someone or not?

Possibly an ego thing as well. Long term unplanned singlehood could make them feel inferior, that they ain't 'man' enough to attract a mate.

"Had to have" is tricky. Some people view sex as a claim of ownership. My hubby and I view it as a demonstration, physically, of the "in-love" feeilng we have for each other, and, yes, to satisfy that basic hormonal urge stuff. We can go a year without sex and still love one another deeply. But we may be the exception?

Lastly, real nice guys don't resent being in the friend zone. They value a woman's friendship enough that they're happy to be there. If you just want "friends with benefits" because she's hot and you don't care that that's not what SHE'S looking for, you're not the nice guy you think you are. OTOH, if you're really looking for a life together with someone, you might find yourself in a very painful place of loving someone who loves you back as a friend, but because you are so close, she can see where it could never work out... even if you'd really would be better for a little while with her than some guy she's still willing to see how it works out with.

There was this really genuinely nice and cute guy that worked next to the same dept in my last job. Everyone liked him, he was kind, polite, smart and just a cool person to everyone. I had been friends with one his coworkers who tried to act the same way, but got angry about how much everyone/women liked his coworker. He went off one day that the way the actual nice guy was just an act, that any guy that acts like that is secretly just acting that way to f**k women, and women are all superficial and only care about money. He just couldn't grasp that some people are just nice without ulterior f**k motives, whereas he was just acting nice to try to f**k women that he didn't even respect as human beings. That was the last time we hung after I called him out on it and he yelled at me because I was going slower than the speed limit and a couple of rude texts about how I had changed and was disillusioned.

I have never read so much anger and frustration in one Bored Panda thread. It's not that women don't like nice guys. These men seem to ignore the fact that attraction is deeply personal. And, no matter how much they plead, curse, insult, and yell, they will not change a woman's mind, especially if she is already in a committed relationship.

What is all this nice-guy-stuff even about? Seriously, if it is just about intercourse, go to a brothel, pay what is due and a little extra ... no texting, no need to public self-humiliation and all that. I just don't think any woman ever said "He told me he's nice, then insulted me, told me to kill myself and, well, here we are - 50 years of marriage!" ... or do I miss anything here?

Learn from us gay guys. 🥱☝🏼 The way to gain a woman’s respect is to literally not try to have sex with her every f*****g chance you get. Just be a friend, simple as that. And stop thinking women = sex. Try woman = human = possible friend = close emotional relationship = trust = love. The bottom line to every relationship is friendship and trust. And yeah the sexual need can be strong with testosterone flushing through your blood, but you’ve just got to fix that on your own. In the private of your home where nobody’s got to know about it. Don’t involve other people bc you’re desperate. Be decent. Please. 👏🏼

My partner of almost 5 years and I are polyamorous, and a few years back she went on a few dates with this guy. As always, she was very upfront about being poly and already having a live-in partner, and he had to be cool with that. Everything was going fine until one day he starts telling her how he's going to 'rescue' her from me, because he just KNOWS he's a better man than me, and she DESERVES better. Christ, that was almost 4 years ago and we still get a good belly laugh out of it periodically 🤣

Dr. Darshan Das 4 years ago

I really liked a girl. She had heard so much about me being "nice" that she got curious about me. We begun to go out on dates. But after a few awesome dates (we never got physical, just had a great time) she developed cold feet & straight up told me that she can never be in a relationship with me. She thought that was the end of it, as I would've been massively led on by her, by now to expect something from her & was ready to give up on the amazing & genuine bond (read friendship) we developed during that time. But I, though massively dissapointed not coz my whimps & desires didn't get fullfilled but just at the thought of losing her forever; just couldn't let her go off as the great friend she had become to me. 2 years later, we are still great friends, she cares for me like mad & so do I. I could've never been so happier, coz I realised when u genuinely like someone, u care about them & not just want to have s*x but just be happy having them in ur lives in whatsoever capacity.

I shudder to think that there are so many 'nice guys' like that out there... I really don't get how they can think of themselves as 'nice' when they are being anything but. And the vitriolic resentment and anger that's behind it all. Very scary. I'm sure the women who receive this sort of harassment must be utterly perplexed by the psychotic 'turn arounds' in these exchanges.

It's true that not all men are "like that", but neither are "all women", which the incels claim. So... if you think there's more negative than positive heard about your particular group of concern, address them about the concerns, and maybe we'll all end up as better-behaved civilized people?

Here's a tip: When a girl chooses YOUR shoulder to cry on and ask, "why can't I meet a nice guy like you?", or when she regularly initiates non-sexual physical affection, you're in the friend zone. If not, you're just some guy making unwelcome advances. How did Jim know Pam liked her? SHE KISSED HIM.

So overwhelmed by all this fragile masculinity. I am glad that I don't go through that with women but I see my straight and bi girlfriends having encounters with guys like these way too often. Maybe the guys that were insulting us on the "what would you do in a world without men" post will learn something from this?

Trying to wrap my mind around this. I think that giving out participation badges for everything (making effort and skill useless and killing any hint of ambition), or the completely opposite, pressuring kids like a dictator (everything is a competition, no sleep, no treats, no friends, work harder!) are both unhealthy methodologies that produce monsters with no empathy who believe they're owed something. You don't have to kill yourselves to reach your goals, but some good effort is needed, and sometimes even that will not work, you need to learn to cope with loss. Besides that, there's the obvious feeling of inadequacy after having oppressed the sh*t out of women for thousands of years, and now we're finally trying to treat all genders as equals (emphasis on trying), some of us obviously still have a problem with that. Well, I don't know, humanity is doomed, probably.

Throughout history of human kind, men have been taught that women are property. That women are given to men as prizes. That they are OWED a woman. That 1 goat and an acre of land will buy them a wife. They get angry and verbally abusive when a woman won't date or sleep with them. They get pushy and rude and tell women to smile. They get mad when women aren't skinny enough, pretty enough or friendly enough to them. They will ask lesbian women to sleep with them, convinced that their penis is magic enough to make a lesbian straight for them. They get angry at transgender women because they don't fit "traditionally" into what a woman "should be". We sexualize young female children by telling them to dress and act a certain way so that they don't "tempt" a man or another young male child to touch them or rape them or molest them. "They say "boys will be boys" when they stealth a woman during consensual sex, which makes it basic rape.

What an irrational, illogical response from you, considering the fact that data doesn’t support your claims. Since most crimes are committed by males, then the scales aren’t balanced AT ALL. Both genders can say bad things to the other, but statistically, it is males who tend to be perpetrators of stalking, threats, assault and murder. Add to that the delusion many males have of them thinking that they’re ‘nice guys’ when they aren’t, it all increases the amount of distress that a woman or a girl endures frequently throughout her life, since such males are literally trying to gaslight the woman/or girl with that fake ‘nice guy’ crap, and arrogantly, too. Literally a 60 year old male killed a 40 year old woman because he didn’t like that she wasn’t interested in him; he isn’t the only one, yet such data isn’t there from females towards males who aren’t interested.
