abstract
  • Nice Guy™ is a term in Internet discourse describing a man or teenage boy with a fixation on a friendship building over time into a romance, most stereotypically by providing a woman with emotional support when she is having difficulties with another male partner. There are, broadly, three schools of thought about Nice Guys™: 1. * That they are victims of women's irrationality or cruelty, in that women say that they want "nice guys" but in fact prefer to have relationships with "jerks" or "alpha [alpha males]" (with the would-be suitor considering themselves to be in the "friend zone": a romantic limbo of sorts). 2. * That they are using a failed seduction strategy and need to learn or be taught to be alphas or seducers, see Pick Up Artists. 3. * That the Nice Guy™ strategy of "doing things for someone so that she will have sex with me, because women do or should reward niceness with sex" is a sexist construction, of which more below. The terms Nice Guy™ and Nice Guy syndrome are used to describe men who view themselves as prototypical "nice guys," but whose "nice deeds" are in reality only motivated by attempts to passively please women into a relationship and/or sex.
