I happen to think Cracked puts out good articles at least once a week.

~*Board 8 Late Night Crew*~

it comes with the funny quote...by a woman no less!

"But you, me and the sales figures on Fifty Shades of Grey know that women's only problem with dirty sex is the same one circus elephants have with peanuts: there's not enough, and the only way to get any is to obey some jerk with a whip."

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

well that's incorrect because this one is funny.

Just based on the title I was expecting this to be a Christina article where she whines about being a girl, attention whores, and contradicts herself 10 times.

GOD F****** DAMMIT.

Me and KP had a bet over how long it would take for this to get posted and be transformed into an argument. He said under two days and I said over. Goddamn it.

What was I thinking to take over?

More frequent occurrence: funny Cracked articles or Realo posting about something other than male/female relationships.

But there is no argument.

It's just funny.

As you can see I'm ignoring Pun like I always do

You're not ignoring him since you acknowledged his presence.

SuperNiceDog? More like GuruNiceDog.

This guy couldn't get through 500 words without referencing Nietzsche and Cyrano de Bergerac, and I'm supposed to believe he's an alpha worthy of taking advice from? Puh-lease.

Many times in a day, a nice guy asks himself, "I wonder if that dame knows how great that dame is." Then he gets hit by a bus

Oh, if only that could happen to every nice guy

owned

he'll probably be smart enough to ignore this one, though :3

You know, for all the talk about how the internet has changed words like "epic", I don't think there's anything that the internet has completely rewritten more than the phrase "nice guy"

le sigh. b8 always thinking that they can "win" if they just post something witty without realizing how dumb it makes them sound.

You can acknowledge someone's presence while also ignoring them. If someone walks into a room and you turn your back on them and refuse to respond to them, you have acknowledged their presence with the act but you've also ignored them.

if you're gonna troll, please take it elsewhere.

I don't think you know what ignoring someone means.

also this was a great article

except for the zombie picture

horrible picture to surprise me with

Actively letting someone know you're ignoring them is the best! My favorite is staring them dead in the eyes before turning or walking away. It stings more

The term Nice Guy has always been universally acknowledged as what this article describes.

My favorite part: The inherent selfishness and irony of thinking you're better for a girl than her jerk boyfriend, but being to afraid of ruining the fantasy to face your fear, thus making you worse than the jerk boyfriend.

One of these days I hope to know the pleasure of ignoring someone and have the person care or not be happy about it.

I did it recently to this kid I've been messing around with that I work with. By the end of the day he was begging me to meet up with him to talk about what was wrong. It's great.

you are such a b****, yokes.

ryoko I would love to hang out with you and just watch you troll dudes. i love when chicks do that. nothing is funnier.

Ryoko, try this little move: See how long you can make a guy hold your purse while you dance/talk with another guy.

No, I'm pretty sure it was at one point a literal term, meaning someone who was nice, as opposed to the current "deranged creepy stalker with no social skills who will probably become a serial killer in five years" thing that has come about fairly recently.

Where in the article does it say that? I swear you guys take this kinda stuff SO PERSONALLY that it turns all of you brilliant kids into an hyperbolic idiot like me.


All that article states is the following: Nice guys are men who have no idea what women want or even worse, what they want because they're always too scared to find it. So they idealize, dehumanize, and put women on pedestals like they see in movies.

I like how a casual statement about how the term is used now apparently is taking something personally. Kind of funny. But anyway, the article doesn't outright state what I said, which is fine, because I didn't say the article itself did, just that the internet in general has taken on that view, and this article follows the same thought process, by using the "nice guy" term to represent a hell of a lot of extra personality traits, which is what I find amusing in the first place.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.

When I manage to hold back my kneejerk response to what seems like the villainization of the socially-inept, I remember that I've sometimes encountered legitimately unpleasant people who fit this archetype.

"God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto

That said, when I was socially-inept I wasn't a villain, I just sat around and moped a lot. The last thing I needed was for people to think I was a creeper... and they did.

Ladders are a socially-acceptable way to reach your goals.

you'll always find SOMEONE on the internet who can't see the forest through the trees or takes a concept too far.

Nice Guys aren't bad, they're just...I wanna use the B Word but that always starts fights...they're just people who don't understand how things work. Sometimes, this can lead to them becoming Ass hats

--

Yeah, I'm actually agreeing with you here. I think that you take it a bit too far with all the alpha stuff, which comes across as condescending, but you definitely need drive to succeed in life. The thing is, kicking someone in the ass is not the response I'd suggest to neurotic behavior. Maybe it works for some people, but with others it just pisses them off. The last thing you want to do is turn psychology into politics, you know?

--
<spoiler></spoiler>

I don't take any of the Alpha stuff too far. I simple state facts and you guys get so angry and irrational that it warps into something insane.

but once again, this isn't about that, it's just about a funny article.

--
Realo won gold at the Sex Olympics with a BROKEN FRIGGIN NECK.-Voltch

they're just people who don't understand how things work.

I don't know about this. I count myself as one of the "nice guys" I suppose. I fully realize that the odds of me ever having sex are slim to none. I just don't care enough. I'm too stubborn to expend any effort whatsoever on women. Oh well!

I don't want to turn this topic into that. I just want to laugh at a funny article.

I'm a Cracked fan, so I read this article earlier... and one of the responses in the comments really struck me. Fortunately, it got a ton of upvotes, so it was easy to find.

"I once read this and changed my way of viewing things (I used to be a "nice guy" that raged because apparently girls kept choosing the a-holes): Girls don't wan't "nice guys", they want "good men.' In other words, they want a person whose real virtues makes the people around them better, not those who try to pretend to be everything they mistakenly think women want in hopes to attract them."

I won't say anything else. That comment is perfect on its own.
