Nice Like Me

NGOKC

Lib Arts Major:

“Generation AFC” has done a great job of producing Brevik, Cho, Laughner, Sodini, Holmes, and now recently Lanza among scores of others who never got a bodycount high enough to make the news.

Here’s to a new generation of defects.

Or should I say products working as intended?

Furious Ferret:

This is just standard way of tearing down beta males. Most of the guys that are nice are geniuely nice guys but being guys they still want to fuck. They were taught by women that being nice and respectful lead to being attractive so they were brought up to behave this way. It’s no uniqueness or virtue for a woman to call ‘nice guys’ as really horrible digusting perverts while rewarding the bad boy.

Mumtaz elaborates in response to a female commenter:

‘ From my own personal experiences, I’ve found that being nice does not equate to attraction from men. ‘
Actually, it’s being nice man that doesn’t equate to attraction from women. Nice woman means sweet and pleasant , that is attractive.

‘ Nice is boring. ‘
That’s exactly what women think.

‘ And the average person appears to NEED drama or kaybe just more vivacity. ‘
No , it’s average WOMAN who seeks drama . For a man , coming home after day of hard work , drama is the LAST thing he wants…

‘ It seems that a lot of men look to women for something akin to entertainment ‘
Again, swap sexes and it rings true.
Also notice anecdotal evidence…

When I wrote Play Nice I elaborated upon the recent fem-centric trend of ridiculing self-professed Nice Guys. The notion of Nice Guys only using the monicker as a ruse for an assholish reality has been a staple response for Alpha-burned women for decades now. However, an interesting threshold is being crossed when a globalized internet society begins a campaign of mass ridicule of Nice Guys.

Nice Guys of OK Cupid is one such effort.

While I’ve come to expect women’s rationalizations about Nice Guys as foils for their attention needs, what NGOKC illustrates is an escalation in beta male in-fighting. Some have called this ridicule cyber-bullying on a global scale, but there’s more to this than that. The progression from rebuking forum white knight to online attack blogger is evidence of a new comfort level the femosphere has in sowing discord amongst the beta orbiters they rely on for fem-centric male affirmation.

NGOKC is really a clever new twist on Dalrock’s proposition of “lets you and him fight.” In viscerally exposing OKC Nice Guy profile pictures and pairing them up with subjectively contradicting statements about being ‘nice guys’, NGOKC is (perhaps unwittingly) attempting to define what makes a guy genuinely “nice” based on the terms that indicate feminine supremacy.

If you peruse the sampling of ‘nice guy’ case subjects on the blog you’ll begin to see a pattern form. A, most likely out of context, declaration of ‘Nice Guy-ness’ paired with some horribly incongruent statement about expectations of women’s legs being shaved or men being the head of the household. The social experiment that NGOKC is involved in starts with its efforts in qualifying ‘Nice’ as being compliant with what best serves the feminine imperative. Do you like the feel of a woman’s smooth legs that she painstakingly shaves 7 times a week? You’re not a Nice Guy. Do you believe that men should be confident, decisive, heads of the household? You’re not a Nice Guy either. In fact if you indicate on your profile any belief that is inconsistent with absolute, equalitarian gender neutrality, you’re not a nice guy.

For all the semantics debates the manosphere gets into over the proper usage of “Nice” for men, the binary nature of the femosphere is definitive; if a belief is contradictory to the feminine imperative, it is decidedly “not nice”.

Beta Fights

Being that beta men constitute the vast majority of men in modern society, one of the larger problems of being an abject beta is the sheer volume of sexual competition they experience from other betas. When a beta chumps is AMOG’d by an Alpha there’s an almost tacit understanding by the beta that the Alpha held an advantage over him. The Alpha had the physical, Game and status tools the beta does not. However, put two (or more) betas in contention with each other and they will resort to ever escalating feats of greater beta qualification amongst each other. When all you know is Beta Game, only more intense applications of that game is the natural response to competition within Beta Game.

NGOKC is one such escalation in the Beta Game arms race. From Enter White Knight:

Every random chump within earshot of your conversation about Game, about your ‘changed’ way of seeing inter-gender relations, about your most objective critical observations of how women ‘are’, etc. – understand, that chump waits everyday for an opportunity to “correct” you in as public a way as he’s able to muster. That AFC who’s been fed on a steady diet of noble intent, with ambitions of endearing a woman’s intimacy through his unique form of chivalry; that guy, he’s aching for an opportunity to prove his quality by publicly redressing a “villain” like you for your chauvinism.

By essentially doxxing the Nice Guys on OKC, NGOKC is a blog dedicated to beta white knights attempting AMOG other betas while the women of the femosphere egg them on. The social impetus behind the blog is one of beta men jockeying for feminine approval by ever increasing declarations of being more suitable, more feminine identifying betas, than the so-called fraudulent Nice Guys they hope to expose. They’ve made a game of qualifying for the approval of the femosphere by looking for chinks in their competitor’s beta armor:

“I’m a nice guy,..”

“Charlatan! You want to oppress women by expecting to be the head of the household! I’m the real nice guy,..”

“STFU rape apologist, says here you’re open to first date sex, and what type of guy has tats and piercings like that? Rapists, that’s who! I’m the real nice guy,..”

“Misogynist, looks like you expect women to shave their legs,…FOR YOU!,..only fucking patriarchs think women should make themselves ‘acceptable’ for men,..I’m the real nice guy,..”

The feminine influence naturally loves the beta dystopia between guys they’d never want to fuck otherwise because it primes their need for indignation while simultaneously satisfying a woman’s need for attention and affirmation of her own imperative.

Obligation

One of the things that solidified this beta in-fighting for me was reading Hugo Schwyzer’s Jezebel endorsement of NGOKC.

Hugo Schwyzer has a rightly earned reputation in the manosphere for being a manboobed captain amongst the vichy males feminization has made so common through its selective breeding efforts . The lengths to which he’s ego-invested his life, career and personality into a feminine identification schema is truly grandiose. Hugo’s gender self-loathing is a monument to the dictates of the feminine imperative – he is what feminized men would ultimately become in a society defined by the feminine imperative.

While I have patience for the likes of Manboobz and even the information deficient members of the PUA Hate forums, Hugo is a step beyond their simple mockery.

What’s on offer isn’t just an opportunity to snort derisively at the socially awkward; it’s a chance to talk about the very real problem of male sexual entitlement. The great unifying theme of the curated profiles is indignation. These are young men who were told that if they were nice, then, as Laurie Penny puts it, they feel that women “must be obliged to have sex with them.” The subtext of virtually all of their profiles, the mournful and the bilious alike, is that these young men feel cheated. Raised to believe in a perverse social/sexual contract that promised access to women’s bodies in exchange for rote expressions of kindness, these boys have at least begun to learn that there is no Magic Sex Fairy. And while they’re still hopeful enough to put up a dating profile in the first place, the Nice Guys sabotage their chances of ever getting laid with their inability to conceal their own aggrieved self-righteousness.

Nice Guys of OkCupid provides an excellent opportunity to reiterate a basic truth: there is no right to have sex.

This represents the basic disconnect that a feminine conditioned male like Schwyzer can’t grasp. He’s very concerned that self-avowed Nice Guys harbor this endemic, deep expectation of obligatory sex in lieu of ‘being nice’, yet remains willfully ignorant of the nature of exchange inherent in the sexual marketplace. Of the hundreds of self-professed nice guys I’ve known or counseled, not one of them expressed an expectation of reciprocal sex. In fact the genuine ‘nice guys’ are so self-sacrificing that the idea of a social contract of reciprocal sex is alien to them.

The new popularity of Nice Guy demonization that Hugo and the predictable, gender trend vultures piling on at The Atlantic isn’t about expectations or entitlements it’s about the underlying and unspoken reciprocal nature of the sexual marketplace being exposed. When a ‘nice guy’ does express some angst over his sexless and solitary life, or does bring his Savior Schema to the surface in a public fashion it becomes an ugly reminder for the feminine that the SMP is actually that, a marketplace. A fem-centric society doesn’t like the idea of a visceral resource exchange, because it ruins its humanist/equalist social pretense. Solution? Ridicule and marginalize the one doing the exposing.

Besides the near-universal sense that they’ve been unjustly defrauded, the great commonality among these Nice Guys is their contempt for women’s non-sexual friendship. They rage about being “friendzoned,” and complain about the hours spent listening to women without being given so much as a hand job in return for their investment.

Because Hugo has been so well conditioned by his feminization he lacks any frame of reference to understand the reflexive rage these “false-flag nice guys” experience. This rage response isn’t the disappointment of some societal masculine influence convincing these guys of a sex-debt obligation, it was the entirely feminized influence which convince them of myth of Relational Equity:

…I’ve repeatedly read men relate to me when they say how unbelievable their breakups were. As if all of the investment, emotional, physical, financial, familial, etc. would be rationally appreciated as a buffer against hypergamy. The reason for their shock and disbelief is that their mental state originates in the assumption that women are perfectly rational agents and should take all of their efforts, all of their personal strengths, all of the involvement in their women’s lives into account before trading up to a better prospective male. There is a prevailing belief that all of their merits, if sufficient, should be proof against her hypergamous considerations.

For men, this is a logically sound idea. All of that investment adds up to their concept of relationship equity. So it’s particularly jarring for men to consider that all of that equity becomes effectively worthless to a woman presented with a sufficiently better prospect as per the dictates of her hypergamy.

Hugo’s preoccupation with the sex-debt obligations for being ‘nice’ is a convenience for his inability to address the concept of relational equity. In a sense he’s correct, men should never presume that anything they do, any personal sacrifice, any emotional investment they make for a woman will EVER be appreciated, much less reciprocated, because hypergamy doesn’t care about any of it.

If these ‘nice guys’ are guilty of anything, it’s in their ego-investment in the lie that any woman might have the capacity to appreciate his investments in them. That rage isn’t about the disappointment of not getting an expected lay, it’s the self-rage associated with the disillusionment of a belief in a relational equity that women (often times the same women they want to become intimate with) continue to convince them of. It’s a rage that comes from the loss of investment and being ridiculed for ever having invested by the same women who convinced them to invest.

So thank you Hugo, you’ve unwittingly made the manosphere, Game and red pill wisdom all the more attractive for ‘nice guys’ with your exposé. The obvious moral to this story is to drop the pretense of being a ‘nice guy’ and embrace a self-concerned Game perspective. In other words, unplug. Drop any expectations of a mutual respect, shared purpose or infantile visions of an idealistic love – because you have no ‘right’ to something women fundamentally lack the capacity to reciprocate. Your idealized relationship doesn’t exist in a feminine frame, it only exists in a positive masculine frame of your making. The only thing ‘nice guys’ have to lament is not embracing these truths before they posted their profile pic on OK Cupid.

I would think Nice Guy Betas get rejected, then quietly move on. (Since most guys are Beta, and this is the normal adult male response to rejection.)

No its pretty simple that this is focused to badger men and boys into depression and suicide merely for the lulz. None should be surprised that women are now employing their psychological warfare on the internet now. In addition, young men committing suicide is now the #1 cause of “accidental” death in the US.

As the numbers of “useless men” increase, expect more campaigns to drive them to suicide to rid the “girl-power generation” of having to pay one cent or have to sit next to their eww icky selves in public.

Nice guys feeling slighted in the SMP is a classic problem of projection from the perspective of the nice guy.

Men tend to be decent to each other because men fundamentally understand hierarchy among males. Often men want to be team players because they understand that there is power in being part of and supporting the team. They tend to be cooperative and supportive of other men and assume that this strategy will work in their relations with women. It doesn’t.

BTW, excellent writing Rollo. Hats off to you sir.

@Vicomte: To quote the venerable Clint Eastwood: “Deserve’s got nuthin’ to do with it.” What makes it extra hard is that some of these nice guys have two red pills to swallow. The first red pill is “This is how things are/this is what works.” They realize that being nice won’t get them what they want. But the second pill that some of them have to take is “This is what’s right.” It’s possible to acknowledge that “most women” are like that, but refuse to accept that it’s morally okay to be more of a selfish bastard in response.

The key is that you don’t have to change your moral compass you just have to get the order of actions correct.

Nice guys think that you act nice and then you get pussy. But they’ve got the order wrong.

You get pussy and THEN you are nice.

I think a lot of women’s (especially feminists) hatred of “nice guys” is their rationalization for the disconnect between their stated preference for kind, unselfish, considerate, and sensitive men and their actual sexual disdain for those men.

@1Woman’sView Women don’t have any obligation to shave their legs for the men in their life, until they enter into a committed relationship. At that point, yeah, you’re obligated to look good and do what you can to foster a good relationship.

NiceGuys (Betas) give up their resources to women hoping for love/affection/praise/sex/kids. Few win, most lose.

Sluts (Female version of Beta) give up their bodies to men hoping for love/affection/attention/kids/resources. Few win, most lose.

Neither gender (on the whole) really wants things to change because individuals tend to think they are special and can eventually win the game after enough tries.

I think social media is also playing a huge role in the diminished role of the beta. Females need (or at least really like) orbiters. Alphas throw them off guard, but betas reassure them of what special snowflakes they are. It arms their confidence for the Alpha. Hence, Christine’s line in “In the Company of Men” when she told beta Howard she wanted Alpha Chad, “I shouldn’t have needed both of you.” However, with social media, the value of each individual beta is diminished.

It’s funny to come across nice guys who see what’s happening and call the bs rather than acting on it. It’s like they’re gonna wait for women to say “ok you’re right we don’t really find nice guys attractive” before they quit playing the chumply nice guy role. If you wait til you have her explicit permission and approval it won’t be worth anything.

Nice Guys of OkCupid provides an excellent opportunity to reiterate a basic truth: there is no right to have sex. Hun, I never would have expected Hugo to come out against the Flukian “you owe me free birth control because rights” position. I mean, he is opposed to the notion of an entitlement to BC, right? Because, if there’s “no right to have sex”, then, obviously, there’s no right to force someone else to pay for the incidental costs of your sex, either. Of course he is. Good ol’ Hugo would never adopt a series of internally inconsistent positions that… Read more »

@Retrenched:
“I think a lot of women’s (especially feminists) hatred of “nice guys” is their rationalization for the disconnect between their stated preference for kind, unselfish, considerate, and sensitive men and their actual sexual disdain for those men.”

Right on. If they were honest, those are the guys they would also end up having sex with, which they don’t want to. This is their reaction to getting exposed, to be called on on their hypergamy.

You not shaving your legs is not the equivalent of hubby not shaving his beard, but it is the equivalent of him turning beta on you.

When will women understand that men are attracted to physical qualities of women and women are attracted to behavioral qualities of men?

“and what IS up with all the racism in the so called “manosphere”?”

Racism is basically just a code word for anti-white or anti-european.
Accusations of racism are only raised against whites.
Multuculturalism and feminism have the same origin and the same purpose:
destruction of white european societies. That may be the reason for the
so-called rasism in the manosphere.

If a man is an alpha (in control of his sexual desires) he can actually be a good guy as in doing the right thing. Someone who is not in control of his desires, will only care about doing what is right for him.

I don’t see how this benefits the feminine imperative. I thought the feminine imperative was to sleep with alphas and have beta providorship. If you’re not getting anything from anyone, you can hardly be said to be benefiting.

One reason women always default to the female imperative is an understanding deep down that they need men to survive. Theoretically if men abandoned them they know their world would collapse. It’s a primal survival reflex.

Perhaps admitting this hurts their pride? Sure it’s an uncomfortable truth, but remember women, men have to read that they’re the “disposable” sex. That’s not something that brightens a man’s day when he first hears it.

“What’s more sexually appealing to you; a guy who’s reserved in his approach, withholds from initiating, forestalls sex for fear of seeming out of control – or the guy who’s forthright and impulsive in his approach, a guy so enamored and aroused by you that he can barely contain himself in your presence? Which guy flatters your ego more? Which guy makes you feel more desired?” I wouldn’t present those two as the only options.

We can be reductive and make everything about sex, but that’s boring. Giving a woman a small gift that hits all the right buttons, and watching her face light up with a genuine, bright smile, and her eyes water, is one of the great feelings for a man. You hear me Kate?

Its hard to call men liars, truly. Its more like, in their eagerness, they overcommitt or overinvest themselves. And then when the rose tinted glasses come off, they seem to conveniently forget what they said beforehand, making them look like liars. And this isn’t exclusive to men. Women “lie” too without thinking they are or meaning to. We all do it unintentionally. Intentional is a different story. It would be a good strategy to avoid making promises and creating false expectation.

The guys I hang out with are honest about what they want, even my PUA friends, they don’t lie about who they are. No sh-t tests, they are who they are. My AFC friends? They have more problems and change their identitites to fit the female agenda.

Plus, the FI has been served by the lie that men and women are basically the same. As a male, you assume that people say what they mean because that’s what you do. Therefore, if a woman says she wants a sweet guy who gives her chocolates, that’s what she means. Obviously not true. Also, anybody can be selfish, but I do believe that men have a stronger innate ability to step outside of themselves.

@Westcoaster: Sometimes “should” has nothing to do with it. We do have to get shit-tested unless we want only low-value women, and that’s how it’s always gonna be.

The good news is that as we increase our SMV the shit-tests can lessen in frequency and intensity.

However, we’ll never be loved quite the way we wish we could be. Rollo’s post called “Men in Love” examines this brilliantly.

Sometimes life sucks, but it is what it is. Each of us just has to make the best of it.

Hypergamy in its natural state isn’t nearly as destructive. If hypergamy is the continual desire to trade up, the security instinct is the fear of going too far down. Women have always been hypergamous, but they also had to fear ostracism, raising their own kids, being labeled as an old-maid or a harlot, or in extreme cases, death, if she acted too boldly on her hypergamous instincts. We’ve countered all of these with gov’t paid abortions and birth control, the sexual revolution, the emasculinization of the church, slut-pride, the FI ruling our entire culture, and overall societal prosperity.

Actually, Nate, this isn’t unhealthy or cynical or pessimistic. It’s a warning, a reminder that women do NOT love in the same manner as men do. Expecting the same thing in return is dishonest and foolish.

Men experience love as men; but, this does not cause (any) woman to reciprocate or confoirm to the same ideal. Knowing the harsh reality lets you choose the best path. That’s all.
