No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
I was such a sad sack through college but I never directed anger at women. Like some of these chats people are posting are frightening.

Eventually I stopped wallowing in my misery and lamentations when I felt "friendzoned" or lonely or whatever and I'd focus energy on bettering myself physically and exploring the city. I can't figure out if something is especially wrong with these dudes or if it's environmental and there but for the grace of god went I :ohdear:

I seriously feel this way every time I accidentally encounter facebook pictures of someone I used to know in college, who is on the royal court of their local amtgard shire. In their late 30's.

And I know more than one of those. Somehow, I dodged a bullet.

I like this mentality as I've been the boyfriend in 2-3 separate occasions.

The more naive the girl is about what is going on the more annoyed I get. "What, James just wants to buy me an xbox, go out to bars with him, let him buy me jewelry and go to the mall because he is that good of a friend Sure he sends me huge rants about how I'm the only one that "gets him" and how I need a "real man" but I told him I'm not interested and he totally understands that. By the way he wants me to go out to dinner with him DON'T TELL ME I CANT HAVE FRIENDS"

It's less irritating when your partner realizes and goes "Yeah the guy is kinda creepy and all he does is talk poo poo about you despite never even meeting you"

When we were dating, my wife had a friend who would constantly try to twist her words to make me sound like a shithead or abusive and then cover it up as "just being protective." He tried to convince her that me not letting them hang out alone was abuse no matter how many times she explained to him that I was there because she wanted me there. I don't think they hung out alone before that anyway.

Eventually it got to the point where she just stopped talking to him because I hurt my leg at work and he kept making comments implying that if I get injured that easily, I could never protect her which is weird because he was judging my physical capabilities but he was overweight and out of shape. He was a "huntin' muddin' and backroadin' redneck" type though so I'm assuming he thought his attitude would make up for his lack of physical fitness if he needed to defend her.

That might work if they had empathy but I don't think they do bc I'm pretty sure 'being nice' is just an act to get that pussy as evidenced by they immediately drop it and become a nasty toxic shitstain threatening rape/doxxing/whatever simply if the woman doesn't respond to them quick enough.


as opposed to people who just hold the door bc it's the polite thing to do and don't expect to be thanked for that. Kinda like that Chris Rock joke ("I take care of my children!" "You're supposed to you stupid motherfucker!")


on a side note make that VR program anyway but instead of nice guys a bunch of twinks with large penises (imgay)

Yeah, or they act like anyone who is muscular/fit, or dresses well can't possibly be nice or intelligent. Only a sloppy guy in a t-shirt is smart enough to really get a girl, and if she has a boyfriend who doesn't fit in that mold, it's because she's a shallow whore, not because maybe someone happened to be in shape and smart or funny, or just socially well-adjusted.

Yeah, I think it's a pretty common thing for these kinda guys to assume that brains/brawn really is a necessary trade-off like in cartoons, e.g. "they don't read books culturally superior manga because they're too busy lifting weights."

I used to stick to some of those stereotypes, until I got exposed to actual science & engineering students and faculty in college and realized the two traits have nothing to do with each other.

For the record, the stereotype isn't totally out of nowhere as I have an actual prime-physique friend who plays around with multiple girls at the same time leading to ethical failures but like, I don't go around resenting him for it I'm just like, "You do you, bud. Enjoy the fruits of your self-proclaimed cardio genius."

It's totally possible to lift big weights in an autistic STEM way, we have a whole subforum for it.

Oh come on, its no coincidence that dadbod is a 'thing'. If you spend every moment of your life inside a gym and never allow yourself a good pizza or weed, chances are you might not be very fun to hang out with!

(I use this logic to justify my out of shapeness, but still. Some of the more intelligent (mathematically) and retarded (socially) friends I have are total gymnuts.)

Dad Bod only happens if you used to be in good shape, though. It's not "I am fat and weak, because I have always been fat and weak."

Honestly, there is a subset of fat nerd that is actually womanly-looking. It's gotta be hormonal. I don't know how else to describe it. And those dudes never, ever had a heyday.

I'm presently in the BF% range for "dad bod" due to eating healthy and exercising but also drinking a lot of alcohol.

My fitness philosophy is that ability to do cool stunts is more important than shape, but they are definitely correlated up to a point, and my intuition tells me that the dad bod indicates the minimum shape quality to still have an attractive level of physical ability.

There's two components to being a nice guy, repulsively poor social skills and a crippling lack of introspection and self-awareness that causes them to live in denial that they aren't the problem, everyone else is the problem, they're just too gosh darn virtuous.

Being fat or ugly is a side issue at best.
