So yeah, you read the title and already know I'm pathetic as gently caress. But I've had it, once again, I've been told that i'm "The nicest guy I know" "so funny" "so kind" "so considerate" etc. only to be shitted out into the drainage pipe of friendzone. yeah I sound bitter. I loving am. I've attempted suicide before, I've been suffering this shitshow called depression since I was 13. I've been on meds. I've been through therapy, CBT, psych ward, the whole lot. gently caress all helps. But I manage to put that away, I manage to go out my way to help others, to never bring up my poo poo to anyone and just help them deal with their issues. But gently caress i'm done. Genuinely, from a purely evolutionary standpoint, why should I stay? Not like i'm contributing or will contribute anything. Apparantly being a decent person means gently caress all in this world. It's not even with girls. My friend was kicked out his home a few weeks back, I went out at 2am, picked him up, got some drinks with him, chatted, cheered him up, let him crash at my place. Next day he goes out, no thanks, no nothing. Tells me he's going to a party, cool, i'm feeling like poo poo so a party and carefree atmosphere would be fantastic, I ask if it would be cool if I could tag along. Straight up tells me "You could but like no offense, your really ugly and I dunno about the people that will be here". I feel like i'm just constantly being hosed about and used

Having zero romantic or sexual prospects, without the knowledge that there is someone who will at least have casual sex with you. A state of feeling rejected by the entirety of the gender of your interest, rather than by individual members of that gender.

I feel the need to point out that I am not expressing my own feelings, just interpreting 'nice guys' and other angry sexless dudes. Although me feeling the need to point that out does say something about social pressures for men and sex.


I would love to know where this idea is coming from, especially since this:

crippling loneliness and feelings of being completely unwanted

doesn't preclude this:

Cnut the Great posted:

Suffer more from constant negative attention from predators and assholes and feelings of being wanted only for sex.

There are women who would truly rather stay single than "settle," and that easily leads to crippling loneliness.

Not a contest, I've just not encountered this idea before and multiple people have it, so I'm curious.


The weirdest nice guy thing I've experienced was an ex scolding me for not hooking up with his friend, because "He really liked you." Okay well I didn't know that, or I wouldn't have hung out with him in a platonic manner that much, because I wasn't attracted to him.

It was just the feeling that the ex had decided things should happen a certain way, and was upset with me for not following the script. Never mind my own desires and tastes.

A woman with no game will not have romantic or sexual interest directed at her from the people she would like or in the manner she would like, and if she takes it poorly she starts complaining about all men being lovely partners who only want sex and maybe does the 'political lesbian' thing.

People who experience the lovely end of the dating spectrum tend to envy the experience of the other gender, so you get lonely dudes who have never had someone so much as look their way who are pissed at women complaining about too much attention, while you get women who are constantly hounded by crappy dudes who are pissed at men for complaining that they have it hard in dating.

i think the problem is a certain percentage of people just are not suited for finding mates in an industrialized society with infinite choices. we are designed for a tribal band no bigger than 50 or so, where everyone would get a shot just because of lack of variety and options. once we started building cities we came up with all sorts of elaborate marriage and sex regulation schemes, because the way our sexuality is wired is not suited for groups of millions of people all together. unfortunately all of these schemes were tied into religion, and when the west went atheist it threw the baby out with the bathwater. now we have anime figurines instead. :shrug:

i think many in our society would benefit from an arranged marriage system, for some

I was friends with a guy through all of highschool and college who was absolutely obsessed with a mutual friend who had absolutely zero interest in him. Every 6-12 months or so he'd re-"confess" his ~feelings~ to her and even proposed to her twice (while she was in a relationship with someone else). In college he had a number of opportunities that I saw to go on dates or at least get laid but he turned them all down because he was "taken". As far as I know he's still a ~30something year old virgin who has never been on a date - they still hang out together almost 10 years later and he's definitely still single. He's not even fat (the girl in question is, though) or particularly nerdy either so I don't get it.

it requires perspective and unfortunately if you cant see how the other gemder is probably in the same boat as you, you probably also wont make reasonable conclusions of you or others' dating merit. also perspective is not something that society or our culture really cares about so if anything there is upward pressure for people to stick their heads in the sand like ostriches and complain

Yeah, obviously. I never said they didn't, just that it does seem to be much more of a source of angst for men than women generally. It's probably part (big emphasis on "part") of the reason men kill themselves in much higher numbers than women.

Conversely, women suffer from eating disorders and body image issues in significantly higher numbers than men. Lots of men have body image issues too, and it's important not to discount that, but I don't think it's a huge source of existential angst for them in the way that it is for many women.

We're purposefully speaking broadly about genders as groups here, so of course these generalizations may not reflect your or my individual experience.

learning how to spot these guys early is a critical skill to develop in college

One of my "best friends" in college was this guy who swore that he didn't want any kind of relationship with me. For years. He made it so clear when we first met, so I believed him. We would go to the gym every day and we'd go to minigolf or the movies or out to Applebee's or some such place at least every other week. He was also huge into going to places for poetry readings and coffee shops. He was so adamant about not wanting a girlfriend but not fitting in with guys, and after a couple years he told me how he'd never been attracted to girls and had never gotten an erection over a girl. By then we were really close and I assumed this was sort of a clumsy trial run for coming out (this was the early 2000's in the South), because he used to always love to help one of my friends with braiding and styling her really long hair, and he used to always suggest things like calling a bunch of girls over to watch romantic comedies, and whenever a girl from my social circle had a relationship end, he would always want to have everyone get together and drink wine and make fun of the offending ex.

There was no real big dramatic ending except one day a year or so after we graduated my brother told me he ran into Tyler in a bar downtown. He said that he recognized him from my Facebook and he introduced himself, and Tyler blew up right away and said "Dude your sister is so loving stuck up! I tried to gently caress her for FOUR YEARS and she never put out."

I once asked an old friend about what I could do when I visited a new town for a job interview, so I had only like a day to go around. She recommended I go on Tinder dates, as apparently she goes on to a "few" dates every time she travels. She couldn't understand how I can swipe right indiscriminately thousands of times and get only 2 matches, both of whom turn out to be bots.

She probably has to deal with a lot of shitheads, of course. But at least dealing with shitheads makes you angry at other people and helps you vent in a more healthy way, while getting zero interest from people you are attracted to turns your mind sour and makes you into a bitter rear end in a top hat unless you have some other kind of support to give you some perspective.
