40 Moments That Prove "Nice Guys" Aren't Actually Nice At All

Oops, the true colors have shown! But if you ask enough women, they'll let you know those true colors always emerge when these "nice guys" don't immediately get their way.

If there's one thing that women should know in the dating scene, it's that self-proclaimed "nice" guys are probably not nice at all. There are actually two kinds of "nice guys" here: those who are genuinely nice, kind, and decent human beings, and those who insist they are nice and attribute that to their personalities, but in reality, they are actually douchebags who always seem to play the victim card whenever things don't go their way.

If you're a woman, you have probably encountered a guy saying or even just implying that "nice guys never win" either in person or online, trying to win you over with pity. However, they are unaware that they just appear pathetic and spineless when they do this. No offense to the actual nice guys, but the former type seems to be rampant in our society nowadays.

Most of them tend to turn off this kind of personality in real life and spend most of their time wallowing in the mud of being a "nice guy" online. They feel safe and hidden behind screens, and they feel unthreatened to play this card because they won't have to deal with in-person confrontations when they do it online instead.

They like to pursue women on different social media platforms, but we all know that most women today are not ones to back down whenever a man they aren't even close with starts acting up. Pseudo-nice guys are the ones with egos that easily get hurt when a woman puts them in their place.

There's even a place on Reddit for them called r/NiceGuys, where people come together to collect photos of so-called "nice guys" to raise awareness should anyone come across them in the vast world of the Internet. Take a look at some of the best posts in this subreddit below!

Some of these may or may not have triggered your fight or flight response, but either way, there's a common denominator with all these self-proclaimed nice guys: they are a bunch of douchebags. If you're a guy reading this, hopefully, you aren't one of them (or if you think you are, there's still room for character development).
