@@baylimusicfanclub7772 so many things have just changed, I've been forced to unlearn basically everything I've been taught, I'm suddenly being pushed into self introspection. It's all too much.
My parents always told me to find a good man, not a nice man. A nice man is selective and entitled with his kindness, he is only nice to people he wants a reward from. A good man is equally good to everyone unless they are immediately terrible to him and others, and only expects others to treat him with basic respect in return.
@@justheretocommentokdontwan685 pushing people away and being mean are two different things tho, if a man is emotionally distant with his friends and withdrawn from people as a whole he can just be labelled an introvert but a man that goes out of his way to bring misery upon others certainly shouldn't be put in the same box.
@Theking10, not calling someone names for rejecting you isn't being nice, it's just being a normal person. It's literally just what we should expect from everyone. At least, that's how I see it.
I was friends with a pick me/nice guy for about over a year, we were really close friends and he liked me as more than that, so when he realised I would never like him back (I'm a lesbian, he knew that) he ended up getting extremely mad at me for that and started calling me 'narcissistic', 'sociopathic', and 'toxic' among many other things. honestly part of the reason I'm so sceptical of guys wanting to be friends with me.
It‘s the audacity for me… like what part of being a lesbian did he not get? What did he even expect? No actually I know…. he probably thought HE was so SPECIAL and AWESOME that he could „turn you straight“. Those type of guys are the worst!

@@yuuri9064 right they only "respect" them because of the fantasy in their head they have of being with them & how that person can supposedly benefit them
Yeah, the friendzone things is so stupid. They act as if a plantonic friendship with a women has no absolutely Worth, just because it's not sexual. While they also basically say by that, it's completely fine to pretend to be women's friend, just to use/manipulate her and get sex from her. That's a pretty gross attitude, men should be open about their intentions and leave the person alone if they don't want romantic relationship/sex with them. Women really are "fuck-zoned".
@@anni1348 For a guy a platonic relationship with women is indeed unworthy. What can't a guy do by himself so as to feel the need for female friends? It's women who keep these guys orbiting around for their personal benefits, for example women should make it clear what her relationship with a man is like, on the first day, so as to leave no room for false hopes and assumptions.
@@mehulchoudhary5136 Just leave women alone if all you care about is fucking them 😪 apparently being friends with a guy is "keeping them for benefits" lmak
I was once friends with a guy for about six months who declared himself as a male feminist. we were talking one night and I opened up to him about some really personal things and he kept telling me how unfortunate that was, then five minutes later he kept dropping hints about if I were to be asked out would I say yes, and I said I wasn’t in a good state of mind at that time, so no. he ended up blocking me and I never heard from him again. now I’m cynical about men like him
That guys a dick him blocking you and not contacting you is actually doing you a favor, cause that type of toxicity should not and has no place in your life. Also don't let that guy fog your head like that their are good well meaning male feminists out there.
Yeah, this type of guys are waiting when you are at your most vulnarable. It's so disgusting. My ex "friend" actually made a physical move on me and was trying to soduce me right after I shared that my previous partner was very abusive. It leaves you with such mixed feelings of missing a friend you though you had and feeling sooo disgusted and unable to trust guy friends again
@@fionastakelum2283 I would even call it a betrayal. My heart broke a little when I read your comment. It took me a minute to realize why. I bet most women have some story about such friends. This should stop being such wide spread behaviour. The good thing is that at least now they are being called out
Yes they’re the type of person to stay away from in terms of coercion and manipulation. My ex was like that and I ended being abused and worse. You get it.
@Angelina Pattern Oh god, I'm so sorry you went through that. I've seen that in movies and I'm like...she rejected you, that's no reason to call her that. It sucks to hear about how many women have had to go through this.
One of the worst things I have experienced in my life was an incel threatening to commit an act of mass violence and telling me it was my fault because I wasn't interested in him. This was my freshman year at university, and everyone on our floor went out of our way to be nice to him. We all thought he was just kind of an awkward guy. None of us thought he had the potential to be dangerous. We actually went out of our way to try to make him feel included. I pretty quickly started dating a different guy on the floor. The incel guy would often talk to me about this other girl he had a crush on, and he was friends with my boyfriend, so I just assumed that we were friends and it was fine. Then it got really scary when he told me about the violent things he wanted to do to everyone on our floor all because I and the other girl he liked weren't interested in dating him. He ended up writing a threatening message in a public place, and was hospitalized and withdrew from the school. People like this can be extremely dangerous and I just wish that I had known more about identifying the difference between just a socially awkward guy and a dangerous incel. There were SO MANY red flags, and I wish I had realized what was actually going on sooner.
@Theking10 she literally said everyone went ut of their way to be nice to him bc he was awkward and they didn't want him to feel not included. what you really meant to say was "well maybe if you had just had sex with him this wouldn't have happened." Men are not entitled to women's kindness, time, and certainly not their bodies.
a really important point in the creation of "involuntary celibacy" is that the originator of the term was a bisexual woman, and biphobia played a massive part in her struggles with dating!
Interesting but also make sense. Unfortunately as Bi, you get shit from both side and dating is easier if you dont come out as bisexual (witch shouldn't be a case)
That's why I don't like to use Incel as a derogatory term since there's those that are legit like that. Not what could be more categorized as "Black Pill" types
The thing is, often incels aren't physically unattractive per se. It's just their attitude, hatred towards women and themselves, and lack of self-confidence which makes them unappealing as (sexual) partners. It's a cycle which is really hard to get out of, I imagine.
I agree ! But some of them are unattractive across the board, though, and we shouldn't discredit that. It's like what people say to communities of people (most often women) with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. If someone who thinks of themselves as ugly hears yet another "oh no it's just in your head, you're sooo cute and perfect" talk, they're just going to feel bullshitted, not supported. There are people in this world that would be considered extremely unattractive by the majority. There are also average-looking people who focus on their flaws too much. Both end up with serious self-esteem issues that should be adressed, but these are still two distinct categories. Trying to convince insecure people that they're the prettiest thing only reinforces the idea that if they were ugly, they would be lesser. So instead of treating ugliness as an accusation, I think we should get rid of the idea that being beautiful makes you inherently better.
@@thesevenkingswelove9554 you know there is no point of explaining logic to birthing persons. You all are in state of self denial. The comment by @Essaly has explained my logic very well
I will be remembering this one! “As a man you are more likely to be raped by another man than you are to be falsely accused of rape by a woman”. Like the amount of times I’ve had conversations about rape with male friends and they only want to bring up how women falsely accuse men of rape, and every one of them always knows some friend that it happened to. Like dude maybe your friend is just a rapist?!
Golden rule: Never believe anything a feminist says. Especially not their "statistics" which are always twisted, cherry-picked and misinterpreted to make men look bad and women look good. Like the old lie about "1 in 5 women are raped" or "Gender pay gap 76 cents per dollar", and many many more. Even feminist "researchers" are known to lie, so why should we believe a random feminist on the internet?
@@odettedellage8021 Are you considering only the rape of males which were reported to the police? Because when a man gets raped (whether by a man or a woman), it's extremely unlikely he will report it.
I also didn't like how Hugo during his recouping speech was talking as if he has the moral high ground and suddenly cares about how girls are treated in the villa but said nothing when Toby did the same thing (if not slightly worse) with Kaz. If I remember correctly he was even encouraging Toby to crack on with Chloe and didn't see any issue with the fact that Toby did it completely behind Kaz's back
I feel like guy like Hugo do t understand they're misogynistic. Which shows how normalises and rampant it is in society. It reminds me of internalised misogyny
This reminds me of an experience I had with a "nice" guy, he would always talk about how he got dumped and how he had low self-esteem and other unfortunate things. I decided to listen to his problems, advise him and help him out if he needed anything. I saw him as a friend because at the time I was having no sense of attraction to anyone and all of a sudden he tells me that he likes me. I was stunned obviously because he had only been nice to me and I guess he expected me to feel something for him and when I confessed that I didn't he literally said "This is why I don't make friends with fEmAlEs" excuse me? You expect me to be romantically attracted to you just because you were nice to me? I was offended and I called him out on his underlying misogyny, he didn't speak to me for weeks only for him to message me saying that his parents are getting a divorce and he doesn't know what to do. I still felt bad for him and despite what he had said I still decided to help him (my mistake ig) and he ended up blocking me because I told him that I still wasn't interested. It's so funny.
@@incharak1927 sneaky f-ker strategy, they feign (usually from a personality disorder) that they need help and women, being socially conditioned to care for children, will usually fall for the bait
Hmm.. sounds like an ass. It's ok to help people. Men don't grow up with richer emotional engagement the way women do. Him being nice to you may have been perceived by him as doling out an extremely precious resource that's only reserved for fellow bros, parents or occasional altruism. To a degree, men are naturally like this emotionally from the massive amounts of testosterone deadening them(helps them in other ways. They can endure a lot.). They also get flak from both genders for being emotionally vulnerable, romantically or otherwise. He probably didn't want that rejection because it would hurt his ego immensely. Men don't have a lot emotionally when growing up. Ego validation is them settling because they don't know or believe in anything better at the time. It's partially a parenting issue, but I'm going off on a tangent. It's not an excuse for the behavior (not good or healthy according to men either... i hope).
I feel like people don't talk about how dangerous these things can escalate to enough. We all know it's funny and a meme on the internet when we talk about these men, but theres a reason incel communities on the internet had to be shut down, there have been literal SHOOTINGS in public areas targeted at women by these groups. This is so much more than people who feel sorry for themselves, this ideology can nurture some very dangerous people who hate women.
@@elliot04877 0,1 percent is quite a high precentage when it comes to murder, actually (I hope you realise that). very hateful ideologies are always a bad way to go and are negative for everyone. if you feel unhappy about something and can get support from people who understand you and perhaps are able to help you, that's a good thing, but personal issues shouldn't result in a serious, aggressive hate against a certain group of people, certain peaceful movements etc. or yourself. No one should be comfortable aligning themselves with a group centred around hate
My friend dated a nice guy/pick me boy in high school. He always showered her with gifts and took her out on nice dates. Others in the friend group always told her she was lucky to have a guy who was so nice, sensitive, and generous. What we didn't see and later found out about was him trying to guilt trip her into getting physical with him. Basically, "oh I spent so much money on stuff for you and I'm so nice to you and I'm miserable because you won't say thank you by letting me have s*x with you." She kept pushing him away in situations like that, telling him she wanted to wait until marriage. They were already engaged, so it wouldn't have been a long wait. Then not long after they graduated, he attempted to r*pe her. She dumped him, he spread lies about her to the whole friend group, then publicly ignored her and her closest female friends to the point where it made everyone feel super awkward. These days, he posts nothing but pathetic nice guy memes about how women are cruel for not giving a nice guy like him the attention he craves.
I fell for a pick-me/nice guy. He acted like he was so respectful and nice to women (I'm not a girl but I'm afab nonbinary) and acted like feminism was really important to him. Also did the whole "I'm sensitive uwu. No one understands me because I have depression." Of course, cut to when I'm unhappy because he's contributed nothing to the relationship and he cries and tells me I'm horrible for calling him out on it. Literally got told I was greedy for asking for more time with him even though we only saw each other once a week. Never again.
Oh I fell for one too.. Ended in me technically being raped in the relationship because "uwu he needs it and if I cannot give it to him he has to leave me uwu"
@@captainjoy8976 the same thing happened to me. I had undiagnosed endometriosis at the time we were together and I found sex extremely painful, they told me that they thought I was lying and that I didn’t want to have sex with them because they were ugly. When they felt I was starting to get sick of how I was being treated in the relationship they went with me to the doctor to get my contraceptive implant removed and proceeded to try to get me pregnant, they told me if I didn’t want a baby with them it showed that I was never actually interested in them. I was 19 at the time and he was 26… when we broke up he came to my place of work and proposed to me in front of all my colleagues. He then stalked me for 6 years until he got a warning from the police last year. Luckily I am now in a healthy loving relationship and have had treatment for the endo and also the ptsd he left me with
I'm so glad that the entitled Nice Guy trope is steadily dying down now. Ross Geller, Ted Mosby and Dawson Leery should REALLY start an "Entitled Nice Guy" support group, since their toxic behaviour REALLY hasn't held up well over the years.
Oh god Ted was just the worst, wasn't he? Always portrayed as the good guy, ugh. And so freakin entitled, the way he didn't take no for an answer from Robin for so long is the main reason I hated the finale so much.
My biological brother is an incel and you described him perfectly. Growing up his parents treated him like he is God's gift to humanity and as he grew up and the rest of the world didn't confirm this to him, he experienced it as a great injustice. In private he is a very angry petty person hating on the type of people who are not protected e.g. minorities and scapegoats. In the outside world, he is the ultimate pick-me guy, fake nice, two faces, and only cares about how he looks in the eyes of the ones he wants something from.
@@eume4275 I don't know, I've cut him off a long time ago for my own sanity. It's for his own good too, as this will force him to rely on himself more.
So, basically...Nice Guys use emotional traps by saying, "Most girls don't like me because I'm ugly" and if you, as a girl, try to reassure them without feeling inclined to date them, you have to accept you're no better than the mean ones he was just talking about. It's a guilting technique.
@@blossom5138 yes it does. You’re all women complaining about men lmao. Women always do the “I’m uglyyyyyy 🥺💔” on front of guys so they feel pressured to say something
The incel movement is not dominated by white men. White men might be the face of it in popular media but incel culture is WORLD WIDE. Take South Korea and India for example.
The book she mentioned was REALLY great. Like the author even quoted several things she found in the incel website and it was just plain disturbing. The book also talks about pickup artists who seem really different from incels on the surface but actually have so many similarities with them. I seriously recommend the book.
Honestly I did not know these types of men had a term. Because its so wide spread. There are actual youtube channels all about blaming women and being oppressed. I watch a just to get their perspective and its just as confusing since I started. This video really helped to shape that into what it is and why/how it exists. Because I really dont understand such a mindset of blaming others for all your problems to such a degree.
himbo's are are a good example of what "nice guys" think they are... but instead their just incels who think being "nice" to a woman is what's going to make her fall over for him but it's not. Unlike the himbo who is clueless at times he's a man with a heart of gold who happens to be very attractive P.S i just recently saw you on The Take's channel lol
@@tobiaslawrence8928 I would call my husband a himbo, but he also has a degree in math and philosophy. haha but he can be kind of a dumbass non academically...not that I am much better.
When I met my husband I was shocked at how kind he was. He would do nice things both for me and others, just to do them. I had dated so many “nice guys” that genuine kindness seemed so strange. I remember I used to ask him “where are your horns?” But he didn’t have any and he thought it was strange that I had such big reactions to things like him picking me up from the airport, cooking dinner, or cleaning the apartment. My previous dating experiences where with guys who needed me to know every “nice” thing they did. It was a constant ledger I has to work against. But kindness doesn’t work like that. It’s not about creating debts, or power over people.
@Theking10 I mean I've known a lot women, especially when I was younger, who where going through very self centered stages in their lives, and who still had guys chasing after them. I know part of that is age, there are men who like to chase young women. Most of these woman have matured past that stage, or I've fallen out of contact with them so I don't know. Meanwhile I truly tried to be a "nice girl" I always tried to show up for others, and listen, and do the emotional work with people. But guys didn't give me as much attention, and that was ok, I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'm diffinently not a cool girl. Me being nice did not mean that I deserved more romantic attention then my more self centered acquaintances. Even though sometimes that felt unfair to me. The guys that did date me always thought of themselves as nice guys, but also made sure I knew how replacable I was to them, I was not highly valued. I had learn to respect myself enough to learn these men where not my responisblity. It was not my job to keep their attention, and I wasn't going to "heal" their personalities into treating me well. I took a couple years off dating until I could approach it with joy and a sense of adventure again. When I was in my late twenties I met my husband, he was so kind, and I tried to be just as kind to him. From the start of the relationship there has been a lack of power plays, and we are both really open about the fact we value each other. Resentment is so easy to pick up on, and is so uncomfortable to be around. I know the fact that when I started dating again that I had honest to goodness joy for each date I went on, even if it was just a walk that didn't lead to another date helped me find someone who also had a lot of joy. Anyway yes, human are complex creatures, and a lot of us have weird attachment styles. Not sure what else to say...
I think it is also important to discuss how our cultural railroads young men into these toxic spaces. Once the UA-cam algorithm identifies you as a young man interested in video games it seems to slam your feed full of ben shapiro and jordan peterson.
YES also how many of these creators/online spaces basically target young autistic men (not necessarily conciously but it is pretty clear that that is what ends up happening)
@@christinetobiasz I would bet the algorithm only feeds you that crap if they know you are male. It probably also doesn't help that a lot of popular gaming channels are men with right wing leanings, i.e. pewdeipie. In my opinion, Shapiro and Peterson are the gateway to incel misogamy. Thankfully, I never went full incel, but I feel like UA-cam is what exposed me to that thought process in the first place.
That statement about how all men benefit from the violence of some men really hit hard for me. As an East Asian woman, I've been in the midst of quite a few interactions with men who have accosted me at inappropriate times and ALL of them have been uncomfortable. The Atlanta shootings where Asian women specifically were targeted but the media kept trying to pass it off as "not racially motivated" or justified because "what if they were sex workers?", made my anxiety about this so much worse because I know if I get murdered by a white man in this country, I will not be afforded the same humanity as a white woman. So, when it recently happened to me again, I was afraid of turning down the guy "in the wrong way" and my first thought was literally "what if he's an incel and this triggers him to do something bad?"
I had a friend that would try to hide the fact that he was friends with women whenever he was interested in a woman romantically. I always told him that any sane woman would see that as a red flag. Not just that women would think he had no women friends, but that he was HIDING them was an even bigger one. What was his gf going to think when she inevitably found out about his women friends?
If she's smart she would recognize that he doesn't value women. He has no respect for them and is an awful person for that. She should tell his "friends" how he really thinks about them and then break up. Easy.
@@pinkimietz3243 oh we knew what he was doing and he would tell us too. He'd say that he would tell them when he was more secure with them. Eventually we got sick of him dropping us when he was interested in someone.
Unfortunately some women have a tendency to get insanely jealous of a man's female friends so its understandable that he may want to hide this, particularly early on in the relationship.
Man I was a nice guy up until I was like.. 20, 21? It took me losing someone I cared about because of my ridiculousness before I started to reform myself. Thankfully I was never one to insult the women who rejected me, I was more of a "woe is me" kind of nice guy. Glad those days are gone.
i just recognized that im kind of a "nice guy" like this,but i honestly dont know what to do rn.Can you give me several advices on how can i fix myself?
@@valeries0817it's a mindset thing. Change how you think. Of you think you're entitled to sex or love because you're there for someone. I'd rather have female friends than girlfriends because a woman will always be there when you need her until you start using her as a fucktoy. Cherish women. Learn from your mistakes and actively change how you think and you'll be fine.
@@valeries0817 Chris is wrong bro, having a girlfriend that respects and admires you in better than a bunch of platonic women friends. What you actually need to do is cultivate masculine traits. I am assuming you’re attracted to heterosexual women. Those types of women are attracted to masculine energy. Confidence, responsibility, focus, direction, protection, discipline, and assertiveness are a few “positive masculine” traits that you’d benefit from. Confidence comes from you being someone who you’re proud to be. I’m proud of myself for quitting pornography, illicit drugs, and alcohol. I feel good when I get stronger in the gym as a result of being consistent and hitting my nutrition goals. I have career goals I am working towards since I went back to college a few years ago. Right now I’m working on being assertive and having meaningful conversations. To do that I have to be clear, concise, direct and set boundaries. I’m adding substance to my conversations by going deep instead of staying surface level. I’m not afraid of controversial topics and disagreeing with others.
@@valeries0817be open and straightforward and don’t play games. Don’t be friends with a girl/woman just because you want sex or a relationship with her, if that’s what you want, make your intentions clear. If you genuinely want to be friends with her, be friends, but then respect her as a person and a friend if she doesn’t want more than friendship. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends I really really value friendship. Friendships are so much more important than relationships and when relationships end, it’s friends who are there to help you pick up the pieces. I’ve been through my fair share of heartbreak and have wished I had more close friends at times. If someone wants to be your friend that’s absolutely something to cherish. That being said; toxic dynamics where a guy is trying to be friends with a girl, because they want more, and the girl in question being aware of his feelings and not allowing him to move on from her, do exist. To an insecure person, having someone around who they know has feelings for them, can give a sense of safety, even when they themselves aren’t interested, this might result in a constant push and pull, which is toxic and unhealthy for both parties involved. If you end up in a dynamic like that, rather than drawing the conclusion that all women friend zone men and then keep them around for emotional support, consider that she actually just might not be a nice person, or a good friend, and move on to be friends with people who treat you and your feelings with more respect. And no, more respect does not equal sex.. You always have agency. If someone rejects you, you cannot control their feelings towards you, but you CAN control how you respond to that. You can choose to walk away entirely, or you can choose to be friends. You can choose to respond in a mature way, and that is how you regain your sense of control. I have been rejected many times in my life, and I haven’t always reacted maturely to that, but the times I did, I’ve felt a lot more agency.
One thing that always baffled me was that these “nice guys” will reject women that they do not find attractive over chasing women out of their leagues and when these women want to date someone as attractive as them instead of a “nice guy” all of sudden they’re called Shallow and “ Girls only like bad boys”, “ Nice guys finish last”. My mom always told me: “ Never feel sorry for a man because while he might be crying for you, he’s making other 3 women cry.”
I like how you pointed out that being nice doesn't equal being attractive. Some people push the idea that the bar for men is so low you just have to be nice and women will want to date you. This is kind of true the bar for men is low but just being nice doesn't entitle you to anything and doesn't mean any women in particular will fancy you. Some men take this way too far the other way though and say women only want men that are mean to them which is obviously bollocks.
Yeah, like the guy who committed a mass shooting on women and sadly got celebrated for it, i don't remember his name. There photos of him online, and he was in many people's (subjective, because beauty/attractiveness is always subjective) opinion physically attractive. He was obviously insecure about himself, these incels tend make themselves smaller for their own looks. But in reality it was his disgusting/ugly attitude towards women, which made him lonely, frustrated and undesirable for women. It's actually disturbing how easily it is for incels communities to groom on insecure boys and radicalize them for their own sick believes.

I once retweeted something about the gender pay gap and was immediately trolled by three random men who each had some variation of "I'm a nice guy' in their twitter bio... On a slightly separate note, any boy or man who views women as alien, unattainable creatures who reject them but they still want is a potentially dangerous one.
Isnt the gender pay gap mostly that men work longer hours, and more years. I.e. are more important to the company, and usually women would have had less time in the work place, since its normally women taking the kids first sick days at home, and in general are the glue the hold everything together. which is hard work by itself.
the gender pay gap is real but it's not real because of the "patriarchy". The data that is used for promoting the gender pay gap is the average of what women vs mem get paid across many different fields of works and positions - not how much women get paid in the exact same position putting in the exact same amount of hours, vacation, sick days and time spent at home after birth. It doesn't prove anything about an actual injustice in the pays, just that women overall work less then men or overall have worse paying positions (and also that feminist propaganda doesn't care to explain the data they use in a truthful way).
Women always talk about themselves as if theyre this different otherworldy group that needs to be treated special, so being treated like aliens is something yall have done to yourself. Also the gender pay gap has been debunked many times. You dont have to be a genius to figure out companies wouldnt break the law so they could not hire women

The problem is that they have unresolved trauma where they are desperate for love/approval. So they hide their true intentions and try everything just to not experience a no. Conflict avoidance … until they get overwhelmed and snap.
I can’t believe incels think that women won’t sleep with someone who isn’t the most conventionally attractive person they’ve ever met. Some studies have actually shown that men that are considered conventionally attractive aka ‘chad’ are less likely to be egalitarian, and personally, that would make me less interested in them. A lot of the people I’ve had crushes on have traits that men are often insecure about- acne, thinness, skin marks, etc. and I find when you are drawn to someone’s personality it makes them more attractive. It’s almost like incels assume women judge men in the same way that they judge women; objectifying them.
@@incharak1927 Thats the irony of it, these incels communities mostly complain that women these days have way too high standards and they all just want super attractive rich guys.

An interesting thing about their belief that all women want a man's pocket money, my beautiful cousin , and two of my female friends very attractive BTW they said NO to me offering to send them money and if I sent them money they wd get mad at me. See its the fantasy land these guys live in. Hate to say it.
A big problem I think as a man is that we learn, many times, that talking about our emotional needs and taking care of them with other men is gay, and not something to be done. Which leads to many meen feeling that only women can take care of their emotional needs, leading to a desperation which can easily trigger anger when being rejected.
That's interesting, if needed and comfortable enough, I hope men would open up more. But when we say things like that, some men would say it's just as making them weak and it will be used as an insult like- I can't believe men showing emotions and being vulnerable would be seen as weakness up to this day. I wonder if someone did hurt him for being vulnerable, it doesn't make every women be a jerk, same goes to men.
The thing is no woman is going to care about some average looking dudes problems in life when he whines to her about his looks, or his shitty etc.. it is a huge turn off.. Let's be honest, unless you're quite attracted to a woman, most men are not going to care about them bitching about their life all the time either
@@michaelangst6078 There is a big difference between whinying and being generally vulnerable. Whinying is not that attractive, and could often be a red flag. I don't think it's attractive when women do it either, and I'm a heterosexual man. However, to be vulnerable sometimes and to own it and opening up to her and letting her into your world so she can see you as a real person is attractive. There have even been scientific studies where they let men and women open up to each other in this way, and most of the participants ended up dating. It is a show of strenght, because by not opening up you show her that you are affraid to show her your true self, and she will feel rejected and shut out because of it. By opening up you show her that you own who you are, are not afraid to be judged and that you trust her. However, only open up to good people. Narcissists and those like them will use your vulnerability against you. One can always test people by opening up a little about non sensitive things.
@@marcusappelberg369 I agree with you, but the problem is most women will find an average looking dude ''opening up''' as a man bitching about life and most will find it unattractive. You combine this with barely being attracted to the guy in the first place, and women will lose all respect they have for the dude... Obviously this isn't always the case, but it probably is more often than not... How do I know this?? Just look at youtube videos about men bitching about life... The amount of women who try to comfort the guy is very small parentage, and the men who comment will be saying this is why the blackpill exists etc.... If an average looking woman makes a video bitching about life, Most of the comments will be super positive saying how pretty the woman is from both men and women.... There is a massive difference
@@michaelangst6078 This is not my experience, and I consider myself pretty average as a guy, although liking and valuing myself. Then again I value women's friendship as much as romantic connections, and let things go where they naturally goes. So if I open up to a woman who's a friend and she is comforting me that feels equally good. And is pretty nice to just be without playing this game of trying to impress her or being on your best. Maybe average or not is a mindset, and it is also about differences between attraction. Someone can see you as the hottest thing since sliced bread while others are not attracted at all. That's life. It is more important to put faith in your own opinion of yourself and like yourself than listen to others. :)
See that's what this guy called the king10 kept stating. He repetitively said he was a nice guy while I was sifting thru the comments and I also observed this as well. Again hate to break it but Jordan is speaking truth.
i dont know if anyone has pointed it out by now but its ironic how incels use matrix references to all their awful takes, when matrix was directed by 2 trans women, love that. amazing video as always!
Hugo's "job done" comment killed me. Also his "feels real nice being left out" after no girl kissed him during the challenge. Like what was the alternative, for one of the girls to kiss him against their will just to make him feel better?
i've had a few experiences with guys who may not be seen as "hot" or "attractive" where i'm nice to them and then have to reject their advances. neither of these people got mad at me, thankfully, but they did completely ignore me until i eventually broke down the barrier again and all was well. very mild situations, but it goes to show how some men see any form of positive attitude from a woman as romantic interest
I used to talk to an incel who said men and women cannot be friends and he only talks to girls with the intent to date and sleep with them, when I said I'd never feel that way for him he'd say "don't worry, i'll change that very soon". That along with his very disgusting behavior caused me to ghost him until he decided to block me all on his own which was great for me.
It's probably because women see men as being the chaser so men look for any hints or green light of interest. There's no book saying these are the signals and if there is it's usually b.s. women are different ,different brains with different ideas of hints. So whose to say one girls flirting isn't another girls I'm just being polite. Then if a guy doesn't pick up on the vague compliments some women get mean and spiteful that he didn't get the hint and make a move.
I once had a friend that dared to tell me “You know, I was actually happy you didn’t win that UK scholarship because maybe I would have an opportunity with you”. Of course I cut him up and to this day he says awful stuff about me.
Wasn’t really the best thing to say but is that not the truth of how they were feeling? What would you have preferred if they lied don’t really get this logic ngl.
I hate that whenever I vent about my insecurities or how lonely I am, people tell me that girls aren’t into low self esteem, as if a few girls being into me would just fix my life.
Literally. You do not need a girlfriend to fix your life, in fact you'd probably be much happier in a relationship if you get yourself into a good mental state first. That said no girl is gonna be put off by insecurities, and if they are they ain't worth your time anyway.
Wow, those people are gross. Dragging another person in to band-aid your personal baggage is about as effective as having a baby to save a broken marriage. Your significant other is not your therapist or the solution to all of life's problems and we as a society need to stop acting like they are 👏 You need better people in your life, Batman. Maybe some people who won't kick you while you're down from insecurities, lol
Ofc females only look for alpha chad confident man with resources. Evolutionary traits bro. Just divert your focus, make a goal and grind! Remember: "If I get a dollar for every time women find me unattractive, they will find me attractive"
That's like saying don't be depressed, people don't like it... Like wut? What am I supposed to do about it now? 😅 It just seems like a gross way of saying I don't wanna go into detail with your issues, I don't actually wanna help... Which is shitty but there are still better ways to go about it if you just can't give advice at the moment. Saying what they say is really the dumbest thing you could say in that situation
People have a tendency to see mental problems as not important. Like someone might say that having a disabled leg is worse than depression. But the thing about physical problems is that it doesn't always affect all parts of your life. An example of this would be you may not be able to stand without a crutch but you can write with your hands, a depressed person might not be able to pick up the pen. Because your brain is involved in EVERYTHING you do, every movement, every thought, every action and choice. Because it's literally an illness in your brain. Telling a person with cancer to just stop having cancer would be unreasonable, so why do people tell others to just straight up stop having anxiety? It's stupid, it's idiotic, it ignores any semblance of logic. Mental health is very, very important. It cannot be fixed in a day, nor a week, nor a month, it likely won't be fixed in a year and it can continue to affect you for the rest of your life. If you seriously need help, get a licensed therapist, not a woman or two to try to "fix" you while not knowing or having the capabilities or skills to dissect what's "broken".
There was a guy years ago when I was in high school who started talking to me on the bus, sometimes we had nice times but I felt he was a little bit pushy and I didn't want a relationship with him. So we had nice chats and one time I was preparing for a contest and had to collect some articles which I didn't know where to find. He got all of them and I was really glad although I didn't ask him to do it I was just telling him about my day. Time goes by he messaged me on Facebook he started to get really pushy and I told him I'm not interested in him just as a friend. Then he called me names because he got those articles for me and that's what I do in return... Mind you I didn't ask him to do it and never said anything flirty. I thought that was it but weeks or months later he came to visit me in my home and got me birthday presents while I never told him where I live.... Yeah I guess he was a very scary nice guy.
@Dustin Stich He gave me a drawing of a girl with a guitar on a field which represented me and was made by someone else. If I don't take it I disrespect the person who drew it. But thank you for making my social anxiety even worse because saying no is really hard for me even if it's a lot of work and I'm doing lots of favours.
yikes what a creep. especially him giving you birthday presents when you didnt even tell him where you live, fucking scary. hope he never comes in contact with u again.
Honestly Hugo never sat right with me and even the way he behaved on tiktok afterwards just made it so that he became even less likeable. When you add on top of that that he never spoke up for Kaz and that he encouraged Liam to essentially cheat on Millie, makes you question how "heroic" his speech for Chloe was. As for the rest, never knew how intricate incel groups were but that is honestly terrifying, honestly wish this was held to the same standard as other dangerous groups. As usual love your videos, loved how informative this one was!
There’s a song by 5 Seconds of Summer called “heartbreak girl” that I always hated when I was a teenager and I could never put my finger on why until I got older and realised it’s such a pick me boy/nice guy syndrome song. The song is about a guy who is in love with his girl best friend, yet she clearly only see’s him as a best friend, and is in a relationship with another guy. The lyrics keep talking about how she would call him up to talk about her problems but he was sick of hearing about it bc she should be dating him. It always irked me bc I was like bro she doesn’t see you that way, move on and just be a good friend. 5sos hate the song now but it’s the epitome of this topic!
I'm surprised you didnt start talking about Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes instead, which is in my opinion the Nice Guy anthem. I used to love the song when I was younger (and even as an adult I do still somewhat romanticize the 'knight in shining armor' archetype), but nowadays it makes me cringe so hard, especially the chorus
I feel like distinguishing “incel” and “virgin” in general culture is the most effective catalyst to the incel pipeline. Nothing wrong with being a virgin, everything wrong with being an incel
Just try to have a conversation with feminists. As soon as they find out that you disagree with them on something, you'll be labelled as "incel" or "misogynist" or at least "sexist".
@@cancelled_user if that happens to you frequently enough to be your expected norm, have you considered if they are, in fact, appropriate terms? Are you the victim of false labelling by every woman you engage with, who likely have no connection to each other, or are they calling a spade a spade? Just food for thought
@Gwapa snuna you couldn’t pull either of those suggestions from the OC if you tried, which I assume must mean you’ve mistakenly replied to the wrong comment?
@@Hayley-kp6wt Are you paying attention to what you are reading? And are you actually thinking about it? Firstly, I wasn't talking only about myself. Can you see that in my post? I see other people talking to feminists as well and I see how feminists react. Secondly, not "every woman". I was talking about FEMINISTS, which most women are not. Also, there are some male feminists as well (they are usually the ones blaming other men most).
@@cancelled_user possessing the disillusion that most women aren’t feminists is your first mistake. And I stand by my point, it sounds like you’re gaining these labels from sought out conflict, if multiple strangers are claiming you’re misogynistic, it could be valuable to at least ponder whether they have a point, or whether it serves you to engage such conversations at all
I read that book as well - omg it was horrifying. But tbh, it wasn't the graphic posts that were the most disturbing to me, it was all the little catchphrases that I'd heard men in my life using and didn't know had originated on incel forums
Reading the comments underlines a very important fact that incels/Nice Guys don't understand: People don't like to spend time with someone who is always depressed/talking down about themselves/pessimistic/etc. because *it's draining.* It's a vicious cycle. If all you do is piss and moan about how girls don't like you, or you're so underappreciated, or whatever, then people are going to stop wanting to be around you and your life will genuinely get worse and more lonely over time. If you fixate on one disappointing part of your life too much, you blind yourself to the good things you do have. Your friends--of all genders--want to feel appreciated and valued, and if you spend most of your time complaining about your romantic or sexual relationships (or lack thereof) when you're with them, then they won't be your friends for very long.
And yet history shows a ton of women like to fix men when they’re feeling down. The way random rude ass (noticeable minority for me) women treat me when I’m emotionless, tired, and halfway to complaining is funny. Nice guy is just the term entitled women are using to describe men they hate to the point they would never have sex with and hope other women won’t too. I’ve literally met women who shower attention to clowns and gay dudes to inspire jealously simply because they caught me smiling one day. I’ve been around some women who try to remind others that some guys are sexist, put hands on them out of jealously and spite, and have extreme egos. They get shut down of course because idfk.
Struggling to find romantic connections and being frustrated about it is not harmful in and of itself; that is a very human experience that most people can relate with. However, getting angry because you think you're automatically owed sex and being resentful towards people for having standards and exercising free will is harmful behavior.
HAHAHAHAHA In the Philippines, we call them Sadbois. It's become a trend to make fun of Sadbois here too. This message has been copy pasted all over the Internet recently and it became a meme: (Just click the translate button to help you understand) di ko napansin, Haha sorry sabi ko na nga ba e. Sorry sa istorbo haha. ayaw talaga sakin ng mundo, life is so unfair. Sana hindi nalang ako nag tanong haha. Sensya na ah, eto lang kasi ako. Walang kwenta. Sana di nalang ako pinanganak haha, I'm just a simple person kasi, lowkey. I am just nobody. Walang magkakagusto sa walang kwentang tao katulad ko haha, sana di nalang ako nabuhay
I remember hearing of men’s right references and I thought they were like focusing on issues that affected men (as well as others) like mental health, dismantling toxic masculinity, helping men gain custody of their kids to prevent them from being put into the system if the mother can’t look after them etc. I googled what actual movement is fighting for and It was literally nothing like I thought
Its a very fragmented scene, i do think some of the mras are way too focused on the opposite gender, but there are plenty of men who are focused on mens mental health. since its still a bit of a taboo to talk about
Yeah and I honestly feel that MeN's RiGhTs was a movement that was supposed to be made against feminism just like how ALM was a movement made against BLM.... that's why I don't support it. Period.
A few weeks ago I watched a documentary about incels. One individual was questioned about his view on himself, women and dating. He viewed himself as physically unattractive, which to him was the reason women didn't like him. Cause, so he said, they were "wired" to only get attracted by looks. In his dreamworld women get assigned to men, so everybody has the partner the males "deserve". I wouldn't care if a guy who says this looks like Chris Hemsworth. This view on women as possession and the entitlement is a raging turn off. It's fascinating, that incels suffer so much and spiral down in a behavior, that makes it almost impossible to find a meaningful relationship.
Omg girlie I've had a kidney infection before they're the most painful lord, i hope you're feeling better now 💕 also your intros aren't too long I'd love to listen to you talk about your cute flat
Uhm, my ex boyfriend and i would often argue about why women are seen as dirty for sleeping with say 10 men, and men are praised for sleeping with 100 women, and he would say its because women have all the power and the choice so its harder for men to get laid, men have to WORK for it so that’s why its seen as a reward for men… He would also get really upset and say things like “i feel like you’re not attracted to me anymore” or “i feel rejected by you” when i wasn’t in the mood to have sex, no matter how many times i tried to explain to him how i personally just don’t have a high libido.. Things are making so much sense now. Thank you for making this video.
Glad hes your ex - my husband also doesn't have a high libido and even if he was in the mood but I don't feel like it he won't shame me over it .. I did say I felt rejected and unattractive for a little while , due to the constant rejection and why I didn't pursue him as much. That was just something we discussed In a calmer manner without name calling.. there are good men out there that don't treat woman like that
that doesnt make sense to me bc since males have to BEG for sex, wouldnt them having a higher body count be pathetic? like it just shows how desperate they are.
@@jezebelleh.4984 no, because the ones that have to beg usually don't get any sex. Although it is true that men have to work harder for sex. But women not as much since there are hundreds of sexual addicted men per women.
When I was younger I looked into the incel subreddit (which I believe has been deleted), hoping that if I showed them some kindness and understanding as a woman it would help them somehow. The exact memories of my interaction with the community is foggy nowadays, but I do remember eventually realizing my efforts were in vain and leaving the subreddit. The community is very sad, but I just want any girl out there who has an "I can fix/heal him" mentality to realize that you cant. Its not even your responsibility.
I USED to be that kinda guy But funny enough, I felt better when I got rejected with an “Oh well” attitude than I did when I had a “That’s not how this is supposed to go” attitude It was then that I realized I would rather strive to be a good person, than to be a nice person
tw: sexual harassment . . . . Almost all the men who sexually harassed me in high school were pick me boys. Claimed that nobody liked them, claimed they were ugly, thought that because they were nice they were entitled to my time and my body. And then would lash out when I said I wasn’t interested in dating or hooking up and gaslight me, making me feel like a bad person and that I was crazy. One even tried to convince me that the date we went on where he talked about us dating and touched my hips and waist and then proceeded to sexually harass me for several days after that it never happened. A reminder: Consent to one thing doesn’t mean consent to everything. I did consent to him touching my body but I did not consent to him sending me pictures of himself in the shower and telling me about all the wet dreams he had about me (I made it clear I did not like these things.) He gaslit me so bad that I didn’t even realize what happened until almost a year later.
I’m sorry. It’s really hard when a sibling becomes someone nasty. My sister was horrible to me for a while. She’s better now. I hope you get your brother back.
Honestly, don't even bother with him. He'll learn from his mistakes when girls keep dumping him and he'll learn the hard way but at the end of the day, it's his love life, not yours so if were you I wouldn't even care.
Sometimes I worry that my brother is a nice guy. I think he has one female friend (who he asked out lol) and he's only ever had one relationship when he was 16. He always talks about wanting a partner to be his rock and support him but seems kinda confused when I say relationships are partnerships and he'd need to support her too. One time I told him about a creep who hit on me at work and he couldn't fathom why it made me upset and not flattered. He kept sympathizing with the man for "not knowing how to talk to women" or something. I wish I could make him understand that he can't get a girlfriend because he only sees women in relation to men and not as individuals.
Im glad we are talking about this!!! most of the time its only women who get flack for being pick its high time we recognise its not a gender related issue
I am a boy who have experience in the past thoughts as: "women prefer douchy guys rather than nice guys". Now I think that I have experienced the situation where one person is interested in you but you are not attracted to them, and it was very troublesome for me I also hated when women wouldn't straight up rejected me cause I couldn't understand what they were meaning with it or what was my problem. I had no idea that they would do that out of afraid of the consequences of rejecting a bad guy. I have watched a lot of anime and I think that the "nice guy syndrome" could be related to many romcom series, where a pretty normal (rather boring) guy gets tons of girls just by being nice to them. I am really glad that I have watched your video. It has opened my mind. Thank you 😁
During a prep course for my thesis the professor mentioned how being described as nice usually isnt a good thing because it means no one has anything better to say. Dont remember why it came up. But it's a very apt explanation for why doing the 'nice guy' thing isnt actually helpful for finding a partner.
Kinda unrelated to the incel thing, but this accurately defines why I hate being called ‘nice’. During my childhood I was always just called nice and smiley, even with people I tried to be friends with. It was extremely disappointing. People would put me on some weird pedestal. Anytime I’d get more comfortable with a friend and got a bit lippy, as I like to, they’d act all shocked and I’d immediately close up again, lol. Me personally I don’t think I’m nice in anyway, just polite. ‘Nice’ always seems like a very superficial compliment, it’s not seeing a person for what they are.
@@moethemoon On the other hand, it's not such a bad thing either. I knew somebody who picked on me and called me "boring" just because most people in school described me as "nice" (I'm shy btw, that's probably the reason for the answers)
And I would add that being called nice by people of the same sex is probably complementary because they see in you genuine character and not just someone to hang out with cause you both share the same interests. It’s more bland though when coming from the opposite gender and probably is just another word for friendly.
I love that you made this. You really explained everything and the warning signs well. I just had a horrible experience with a "nice" guy during last summer. It was actually traumatizing. You helped me understand it more!
the advice about seeing men who has no female friends at all as a red flag actually awaken me to another red flag that is unfortunately very common amongst straight indonesian women: if they think men having female friends is a red flag, then _they_ are the red flags. 😬 separation between males and females (as sexes) in our society ran so deep to the point that actual platonic relationship between men and women are often seen as odd by both groups. like i remember back in high school one of my class mate (male) was really good friends with our other class mate (female) but every time he hung out with his then girlfriend he had to BLOCK all contacts with his close friend and delete their chat history bc his gf would go through his phone and get mad if she sees our classmate in it. and everyone treated it as a mild nuisance. i, too, wrote it off as "borderline toxic" instead of downright toxic. yikes yikes yikes.
I learned so much and now feel more equipped to talk to some of my straight friends who are susceptible to this distorted incel ideology. Thank you so much!
Young boys are raised in a world where women are commodities and when the mature and can’t “buy” what they think is being “sold” to them, no matter what the currency is- being nice, money, nice dinners, etc- they don’t understand it and they throw fits. Awesome video :-)
Ikr. It's so toxic. I wish we lived in a world were the woman and the man in the relationship would take turns to buy each other food. And anyways, dinners, gifts, a bunch of flowers, etc. costs!!
Absolutely Champagne we do. Don’t date misogynists/misandrists or cheapskates, then you will find that. Billions of people in the world, not everybody is as you say
As someone who has been ugly for so long, I can understand how easy is for young guys to fall in those communities. I remember hating myself so much for how I look that the only way to make it better was violence towards others. I still have rage problems, but I've been in therapy and it has gotten better. I'm a female, BTW.
As a lad who was bullied for being ugly and bullied for being a virgin and never kissing a girl etc etc I had it all. I became really depressed and anxious etc especially when talking to girls. Because I felt like I had to get with them in order to prove people wrong. Which only made it worse cos I never really tried to make connections with girls because I was so obsessed with losing my virginity. I also think because of the way society is men are the ones who are viewed as having to initiate conversations to get with women. So if you don’t have a lot of confidence as a man it’s going to be very hard for you to be able to actually make connections anyways because you aren’t confident in yourself. Because of this I started to do things that made me more confident. So I started exercising regularly, eating healthier foods, taking better care of myself. Going out more and meeting new people and being more outgoing as well as getting a job where I was interacting with people which increased my social skills. It helped massively but even on top of all this I still feel anxiety when it comes to talking to women I find attractive and it’s still hard to shake that monkey off my back. I could have easily went down a different road tho if I found those incel communities because so many of them have a similar story. And I feel like those people need to be helped mentally but I wrote my own experience because you are completely right about how people fall into it and I feel like it’s only going to make people problems worse if they are in these communities if people don’t give them the proper help they need
@@mikelitorous5570 And how a relationship with women would have made a difference? It's a waste of time both ways. My advice for unattractive guys would be to go monk mode and give up all social media and find some other reason to live.
@person blue I understand but you are still unaware about some reality or you are ignoring it. Men will never get affection from women, you always have to provide something to get affection and that's not the definition of affection, yeah if you are a top 5% chad, then maybe. Secondly, I know that most people never experienced life like I did, but I turned into a misanthrope and have become numb, nothing bothers me, so maybe that's why it's easier for me.
@@mehulchoudhary5136 I know blackpill is true. From our evolutionary biology, we DO TEND TO be nice to good looking guys. BUT y'all take it to extreme! Average women and average man are on same level in dating market and that's ok. Y'all hate on women for being picky while men are picky as much as women. I feel like if you're below 3/10, it's very difficult for you to get romantic partner. But in today's modern world, we have many solutions from cosmetic surgeries to facial implants to hair transplant to laser treatment for skin, everything is available. So my practical advice to you would be to make money and then opt for cosmetic treatments (which are safe ofc) which would drastically improve your looks. And please improve your personality too. And then going to gym wouldn't also hurt. If you're like 5'4 and below it's also difficult so the only thing you can do is love yourself and be confident. (Believe me if you're 6'2 tall but nerdy and lanky, people would still bully and if you're 5'3 and much confident, you'll give others the illusion of being tall), my highschool jock is 5'8 so it's pretty fine. If you're short, you can find some open minded girl who'll still love you despite your height! :> Hope this helps.
@Gwapa snuna well probably you aren't ugly so you wouldn't understand. I'm not talking about "ugly" people which we see on day to day basis but ugly people who have deformity in thier faces. I was lucky to be born with above average face but tbh ik it's hard for people to be below average in terms of looks.
This video made me realize that lots of the guys who liked me during my high school career were pick me boys. I couldn’t ever explain why they were so creepy when everyone would just tell me to get over myself. It all makes sense now! Thanks for the video!!
I absolutely loved watching your facial expressions while recounting the whole Hugo fiasco bc you looked so done with him. That’s exactly the expression I make way to often when talking about guys and it cracked me up so hard. Great video, I really enjoyed watching it and your look is superb as always xx
i know a guy who's whole personality was being a pick me boy and i think it was just more about wanting attention. it had nothing to do with dating. he would go around telling every girl he was ugly and depressed so that they could gather up and try to boost his confidence. the sad thing is when we first met him he was such a good person and was very friendly with girls and everyone really. he managed to actually make so many girls crush on him until he became a pick me then we all ran away. looking back maybe it was because we were inexperienced and he really was just a 'nice guy'...
I remember having a pick me boy as a friend a few years ago. At first he seemed pretty normal (except for when he would compare me to other girls and tell me how different and unique I am which I didn't buy into bc I just got into feminism and could tell bs like that reeks off of mysogyny but I didn't really want to comfront him about it so I never said anything) but with time he started to show his true colors. It was when I had this little hook up phase with a guy from my town and he started being a bit passive aggressive, sometimes ignore my texts, straight up confessed to me and told me he didn't like that I was seeing someone else and, mind you, I rejected him bc yeah I didn't feel that way about him and I kept feeling really uncomfortable with the way he kept bringing up the subject (like dude get a hint I ALREADY REJECTED YOU JUST GIVE UP DEAR GOD). But yeah, our friendship went down the drain bc of all that and one day I decided to just ghost him (I know it's bad to do that but I really had no choice. He wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I tried) and he did found my new socials after that but I just kept blocking him and he eventually gave up. It wasn't until around 2019 that I got to know the pick me boy term that everything clicked. I do hope he grew up as a person bc he was really REALLY close to turn into an incel
I'm a lesbian and actually think it's useful in weeding out Nice Guys from actual decent guys- the former who get angry, accuse me of lying or ghost me when I tell them vs the latter who accept it and continue to be nice. At that stage I can be pretty sure they are genuinely nice and don't have ulterior motives
"this is a daily problem women have to deal with" I'm wondering if this is why autistic women expend so much energy "masking"? I gather it's a well-observed pattern that they are underdiagnosed compared to men for that reason, and perhaps the reason for the difference is a consequence of the societal pressure you describe? As always your videos are incredibly perceptive, thoughtful, sorry to hear you've been poorly, keep up the good work if you can.
Not only that, we are seen as “hysterical” and we will be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and/or borderline personality disorder before we get a proper diagnosis (if ever getting one at all). Like my current boyfriend, I told him I was autistic, adhd, and have CPTSD. One night while we were otp, I was going to have a meltdown. I was moody, snappy, and didn’t even want my cats around me. I felt like I was gonna die. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I was just hot. So I went to turn up the AC, and I immediately felt better. He said I was “overreacting”. He used to say that a lot to me. But recently, he finally got it through his head that I was really going to leave him. I blocked him on everything and was going ghost. I guess that’s when the reality hit. He Started researching my symptoms. Felt super guilty and to this day he’s trying to make it up to me. He understands that I’m not just “over reacting” and “being dramatic”. He said he didn’t realize just how different my brain was and now he understands. He believed me when I told him I was autistic. I mean, I’m not as good as masking as I think, especially when being comfortable with people. So he definitely knew and even thinks some of my mannerisms are cute. But I told him you can’t just accept the cute things and be like “yeah, the quirkiness is the autism” but whenever I do something you don’t like, you label me as hysterical and say my feelings are invalid. We’re better now. There was no malice or ill intent with him. He’s the first Allistic person I’ve dated, my other boyfriends had autism (this was before I knew I was autistic tho). Whenever they had a meltdown or extremely violent outbursts, they were excused because they’re autistic. They also had the luxury of being diagnosed when they were super young. Like 4 or something. While I’m going on 21 and still don’t have an official autism diagnosis (The other things I listen I was diagnosed with, btw). I’ve been in mental hospitals and doing this whole “mental health” thing for years. Since I was 11. And they always switch my diagnosis. I’ve been diagnosed with BPD, Bipolar, HPD, even ODD. They were all wrong. I know for a fact if I was a man and didn’t score so high on the IQ tests I had to take, I would of been seen sooner.
@@Trollestiatumblur Hugs, that's tough. Good if he got there eventually. And yes, the whole thing about boys getting diagnosed and women getting ignored ... sadly I gather that's true of other traits and illnesses as well :(
No, people of all genders mask Women and nb people are under diagnosed because the diagnostic criteria are mostly based on trauma responses from autistic boys and men, not on innate autistic characteristics common in any gender, and because "professionals" are completely without requisite training Masking doesn't help but it's very possible to identify high-masking people
But women and nb people are absolutely punished for not masking People say "i just ignore it" or whatever but they can only say that because they've never been denied a job or other necessities because their autism is visible My doctor has corrected my manners at visits where I was in crisis
Some of these girls could be a bit "not-right" in the head when they say "he's too nice", but it could also be because they are aware of the nice-guy syndrome and that those type of guys usually end up being really twisted with their performative virtue signaling or might actually turn out to be stalkers but it's also because... NICE IS NOT A PERSONALITY TRAIT! They end up having no personality, not showing their shortcomings or quirks, their weird habits and their fun sides, that they basically feel like some weird robot assistant rather than a damn person, its unnerving and boring. Theres no substance and nothing interesting. You should be generally nice to all people you meet and you should just have basic human decency so you wouldnt have to over compensate by being a "nice guy", and when you want someone you like to like you back ofcourse you gotta open up about yourself to see if they even like who you are. And if they dont MOVE THE FUCK ON, YOU'LL LIVE! I should know, for I am not single like a pringle by choice, but lashing out and being a little bitch about the boys that dont like me back isnt gonna fix anything and will only validate their decision to not get closer to me. I take it as it is and move on with my life.
do note you also sound young. you have good thoughts here and understand basic adult things about relationships. you will find one worthy of you... just give it time :D
It's based on concept of "cringe" nobody wants to REALLY show off how they really are when socializing unless they get to know them. So people hold back a lot and keep up a lot of armor around people due to being mocked for being themselves. Being a kid is a legit horrible time for some of us out here. That's why people are "nice", "agreeable" and or "non-confrontational" since shit hurts. Yet too often their VERY support systems tell them to BE NICE after bad social interactions. I for sure heard it when I was tired of moving from school to school making friends was exhausting yet I was told "Oh just be nice" after I told my mom and my brother "I don't really like making friends". This is honestly before I got older when really my "I don't like making friends" is really I just hate small talk. So I feel sorry for people trying to be social when really there's nobody really there except for those that say "I'll get better after a while" So being social in the modern sense seems like a high priority yet a lot of grievances within social interaction seems dismissed.
It's also because women don't want to give the real reason why they rejected a guy so they say "you're just too nice" or "you're a nice guy but" as a way to let him down easy, even if the guy is a creep and not at all nice.
As someone who was a nice guy and still struggles with the subconscious nice guy and pick me syndrome, it's caused me a lot of mental baggage. I always question myself on whether I'm being nice to someone because I want to be with them romantically. I want to be better and am trying to not be this way. I have been trying to go to therapy for this but right now my insurance doesn't cover the available therapists in my area. After a while of trying to find someone that is romantically interested in you and failing, you start to question what is wrong with you. You always hear to "just be yourself" but if being yourself doesn't help this failure warps your reality and destroys yourself esteem. I also hear "Your time will come", but again I have been disillusioned with this as well. A bunch of my guy friends have significant others and then tell me not to get a girlfriend. However, I have never felt the love of another person in that way and I want to know what it's like. I was touch starved as a child so that might be a big reason why I crave this physical intimacy like cuddling, hugs, kisses, etc. of a relationship besides s*x. I don't hate women for my lack of success in dating but I do think it is something wrong with me that is the problem. When I see couples, it somewhat makes me sad like as 21 years old my time might be up for easily finding a partner since I'm graduating from uni. I have been really hesitant from using dating apps since my self confidence is not the best. I think I'm average but pretty short being 5'6". Hopefully this was helpful in getting some insight into nice guys mind set and wasn't too much of a rant and coherent.
The fact that you're watching this and admitting those things, it's a solid start. When us women recognize the damages of patriarchy and you guys do that AS WELL by listening to our experiences (and talk to other men about this), that's when there is hope, that's the way.
Dude. I was reading your comment and then got to your age and laughed a bit because- I get it. I get it, it seems like everyone else around you is moving on and doing everything you wish to be doing and it feels like you're stuck but in reality, you're young. You've barely stopped being a teen. You're young, you have PLENTY of time to find yourself and a partner. It's good to start with not idealizing relationships. When you've been unwillingly single for a while it starts to warp the idea of what a relationship is like in your head. I'm not gonna lie, it's wonderful and amazing, it's also just like any other relationship, apart from the romance aspect. Romance isn't like Disney movies, it won't solve your problems, it won't make you automatically confident, it just won't do any of those things. You'll still have to grow and learn. A relationship is work, it's like a plant you have to water and take care of. You'll be fine. It's best to let things flow, focus on improving yourself; the person for you will come and then you'll look back at this moment and think you were too hard on yourself for no reason.
oh sweetie you're only 21! i promise your time will come, emotional intelligence and vulnerability and the will to work on yourself are some of the best qualities you can have, and you seem so self-aware already :) don't worry! you have a lot going for you!
36:58 I'm just gonna point out that subtle things like this reinforce the idea that getting a girlfriend = success which is part of what drives incels down the spiral. I think this is a cultural idea that we need to stamp out. (not saying what you said was bad I'm just pointing out how pervasive it is) We as a society really need to stop virgin shaming men, we have such a success-driven culture that so many people derive their value from whatever perceived success society values. We need to show that guys who don't get laid are not failures and that there's nothing wrong with it. It's something that society places value on that's really meaningless. It's not successful people who get driven down these rabbit holes 99% of the time, it's people who feel useless and valueless because they've been told by society that they don't have value. That needs to change, we need a cultural shift away from talking about it like this because rates of male virginity is only increasing as the years go on. If something doesn't shift on how we talk about this then we're going to have a lot more angry incels.
You fail to understand the problem. This isn't a cultural or societal issue, it's a natural issue. Men value the construction of family so having a girlfriend or wife is part of the success, in other words men instinctively know what they were made for, it isn't any "pressure". If they cannot even achieve a simple biological objective, they will be upset because they are failures. Women on the other hand have other values or ideals. The thing is, they found other means to achieve those in modern society without a need for a husband or family thus it creates this disfunctional culture we have. Tensions only have a tendency to rise judging from my observations.
@@marsx5886 It's not up to me to decide. These are complex topics and my thoughts alone aren't enough to provide solutions, just plausible theories. Those who claim to offer solutions on a whim are more often than not, lying to you. Although, I think having and encouraging genuine discussion where people are actually listening, with no circlejerking, is a good start. Obviously not on social media.
Hook up culture and the hyper-sexed internet culture can feel overwhelming for everyone. But incel rage/ rising male virginity fear mongering ends up sounding like a veiled threat and not the best way to make a people feel safe to talk. Women get rejected too and women also want families and many women are virgins. Talking openly and normalising personal growth and self love is a good place to start. This men vs women is rooted in misogyny.
Great eye. One thing I myself noticed was she had a book called Feminism that wd be interesting read I imagine. Only if they had one called "Feminism for dummies" so guys like me can understand lol. I'm joking just a little.
My current boyfriend has no female friends but saying that a man with no female friends is a red flag goes a bit far for me. He was 28 when we got together and he was not a player, incel or a pick me. He is so respectful to every woman.
A lot of guys don't if you do male dominated jobs like engineering you'll mainly only be around guys from university to the workplace, so there contact with women is limited. I'm 23, and I only have 2 male friends, it's just how things turned out for me
I agree too bc I’m still friends with a college friend whose a guy over 10 years ago we sided to play games together until we both moved away. We still keep in touch tho and now that we married others people we try to check on each other more often but that’s bc he moved back to where I live anyways so there’s that and I am basically his only female friend but I never felt that was weird
you’ve just described my boyfriend of 8 years who was my first boyfriend (since I was 18) and it completely hit me when you said they tend to get with young women or women who haven’t had a lot of dating experience!!! I am glad to now see it but at the same time I am GOBSMACKED it’s taken me buying a house with him & he dumped me a week after to realise it 🙃🙃🙃 sorry for venting!! x
I dunno if having no female friends is a red flag. I know guys with tons of female friends who sleep with (or have slept with) all of them, which is just as much of a red flag for the same reason. They’re only friends with women who sleep with them. You just have to keep your eyes open and understand the situation you’re in.
As a bisexual man I apologize. Some creeps have this, when a pretty woman gives them affection she becomes their love interest. Once they don't get the love/sex they were waiting for they get mad and won't stay friends, idk why
I feel like although this is the right point view, it's more important to educate those men around you to not fall into this patterns than apologize on behalf of them. That's a space which most women cannot enter and we deeply depend on men doing the work.
You don’t have to apologize for men just like I don’t have to apologize for women, we just need to call out bad behavior when we see it and act like it’s weird that anyone would think acting that way is decent human behavior
Largely, I imagine, because society tells them every day that men and women can't just be friends, and the only time other men are kind to them, is when they're their friend. This leads to the idea that strangers aren't nice for any reason other than interest in something more than just a moment of kindness
Also I agree with Study Buddy, that would be like if I apologised for people like Christine Western-Chandler, Jessica Yaniv, Blaire White or Calvin Garrah. It's just silly. Just because your gender is somehow related to theirs doesn't mean you are responsible for their actions.
ive had a few experiences with “”nice guys””. they butter you up as much as they can in hope of getting laid, and when it backfires its straight to insults. I had a guy talking to me for about a month or so, he was interested in me and kept complimenting me and trying to buy me stuff (which i declined). but in the middle of this i got a boyfriend, so ofc i let him know like hey im really sorry but i have a bf now. and instantly he turned to insults saying i was ugly and said if he ever saw me around he’d beat me. then he wonders why he cant get a gf. fun times lol

I was friends with a pick me/nice guy for about over a year, we were really close friends and he liked me as more than that, so when he realised I would never like him back (I'm a lesbian, he knew that) he ended up getting extremely mad at me for that and started calling me 'narcissistic', 'sociopathic', and 'toxic' among many other things. honestly part of the reason I'm so sceptical of guys wanting to be friends with me.

One of the worst things I have experienced in my life was an incel threatening to commit an act of mass violence and telling me it was my fault because I wasn't interested in him. This was my freshman year at university, and everyone on our floor went out of our way to be nice to him. We all thought he was just kind of an awkward guy. None of us thought he had the potential to be dangerous. We actually went out of our way to try to make him feel included. I pretty quickly started dating a different guy on the floor. The incel guy would often talk to me about this other girl he had a crush on, and he was friends with my boyfriend, so I just assumed that we were friends and it was fine. Then it got really scary when he told me about the violent things he wanted to do to everyone on our floor all because I and the other girl he liked weren't interested in dating him. He ended up writing a threatening message in a public place, and was hospitalized and withdrew from the school. People like this can be extremely dangerous and I just wish that I had known more about identifying the difference between just a socially awkward guy and a dangerous incel. There were SO MANY red flags, and I wish I had realized what was actually going on sooner.
Damn, I'm so sorry, that's horrible.
I can't imagine how frightening that must have been! Could you maybe share some of the red flags for future reference?
Whyte inceldom is off the roof.
He was mentally unstable
@Theking10 she literally said everyone went ut of their way to be nice to him bc he was awkward and they didn't want him to feel not included. what you really meant to say was "well maybe if you had just had sex with him this wouldn't have happened." Men are not entitled to women's kindness, time, and certainly not their bodies.
a really important point in the creation of "involuntary celibacy" is that the originator of the term was a bisexual woman, and biphobia played a massive part in her struggles with dating!
Interesting but also make sense. Unfortunately as Bi, you get shit from both side and dating is easier if you dont come out as bisexual (witch shouldn't be a case)
That's why I don't like to use Incel as a derogatory term since there's those that are legit like that. Not what could be more categorized as "Black Pill" types

The thing is, often incels aren't physically unattractive per se. It's just their attitude, hatred towards women and themselves, and lack of self-confidence which makes them unappealing as (sexual) partners. It's a cycle which is really hard to get out of, I imagine.
Yeah homeless people aren't poor actually, it's their hatred towards money that makes them homeless.
@@mehulchoudhary5136 lol how are you comparing to being homeless to being an incel. Do you even use logic?
I agree ! But some of them are unattractive across the board, though, and we shouldn't discredit that. It's like what people say to communities of people (most often women) with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. If someone who thinks of themselves as ugly hears yet another "oh no it's just in your head, you're sooo cute and perfect" talk, they're just going to feel bullshitted, not supported.
There are people in this world that would be considered extremely unattractive by the majority. There are also average-looking people who focus on their flaws too much. Both end up with serious self-esteem issues that should be adressed, but these are still two distinct categories.
Trying to convince insecure people that they're the prettiest thing only reinforces the idea that if they were ugly, they would be lesser. So instead of treating ugliness as an accusation, I think we should get rid of the idea that being beautiful makes you inherently better.

I will be remembering this one! “As a man you are more likely to be raped by another man than you are to be falsely accused of rape by a woman”. Like the amount of times I’ve had conversations about rape with male friends and they only want to bring up how women falsely accuse men of rape, and every one of them always knows some friend that it happened to. Like dude maybe your friend is just a rapist?!
Like dude, maybe in dubio pro reo is is just not humanitarian enough for your dream dystopia.
THIS!!! I get so mad when my bfs friends do the same thing. Just because they’re nice to other guys doesn’t mean they aren’t also rapists…
Golden rule: Never believe anything a feminist says. Especially not their "statistics" which are always twisted, cherry-picked and misinterpreted to make men look bad and women look good.
Like the old lie about "1 in 5 women are raped" or "Gender pay gap 76 cents per dollar", and many many more.
Even feminist "researchers" are known to lie, so why should we believe a random feminist on the internet?
Actually if you discount the prison population, a man is far more likely to be a victim of a false accusation than to be a victim of rape.

This reminds me of an experience I had with a "nice" guy, he would always talk about how he got dumped and how he had low self-esteem and other unfortunate things. I decided to listen to his problems, advise him and help him out if he needed anything. I saw him as a friend because at the time I was having no sense of attraction to anyone and all of a sudden he tells me that he likes me. I was stunned obviously because he had only been nice to me and I guess he expected me to feel something for him and when I confessed that I didn't he literally said "This is why I don't make friends with fEmAlEs" excuse me? You expect me to be romantically attracted to you just because you were nice to me? I was offended and I called him out on his underlying misogyny, he didn't speak to me for weeks only for him to message me saying that his parents are getting a divorce and he doesn't know what to do.

Men don't grow up with richer emotional engagement the way women do. Him being nice to you may have been perceived by him as doling out an extremely precious resource that's only reserved for fellow bros, parents or occasional altruism.
To a degree, men are naturally like this emotionally from the massive amounts of testosterone deadening them(helps them in other ways. They can endure a lot.). They also get flak from both genders for being emotionally vulnerable, romantically or otherwise.
He probably didn't want that rejection because it would hurt his ego immensely. Men don't have a lot emotionally when growing up. Ego validation is them settling because they don't know or believe in anything better at the time. It's partially a parenting issue, but I'm going off on a tangent.
It's not an excuse for the behavior (not good or healthy according to men either... i hope).
I feel like people don't talk about how dangerous these things can escalate to enough.

Then not long after they graduated, he attempted to r*pe her. She dumped him, he spread lies about her to the whole friend group, then publicly ignored her and her closest female friends to the point where it made everyone feel super awkward. These days, he posts nothing but pathetic nice guy memes about how women are cruel for not giving a nice guy like him the attention he craves.

I fell for a pick-me/nice guy. He acted like he was so respectful and nice to women (I'm not a girl but I'm afab nonbinary) and acted like feminism was really important to him. Also did the whole "I'm sensitive uwu. No one understands me because I have depression." Of course, cut to when I'm unhappy because he's contributed nothing to the relationship and he cries and tells me I'm horrible for calling him out on it. Literally got told I was greedy for asking for more time with him even though we only saw each other once a week. Never again.
Oh I fell for one too.. Ended in me technically being raped in the relationship because "uwu he needs it and if I cannot give it to him he has to leave me uwu"

@@captainjoy8976 the same thing happened to me. I had undiagnosed endometriosis at the time we were together and I found sex extremely painful, they told me that they thought I was lying and that I didn’t want to have sex with them because they were ugly. When they felt I was starting to get sick of how I was being treated in the relationship they went with me to the doctor to get my contraceptive implant removed and proceeded to try to get me pregnant, they told me if I didn’t want a baby with them it showed that I was never actually interested in them. I was 19 at the time and he was 26… when we broke up he came to my place of work and proposed to me in front of all my colleagues.

My biological brother is an incel and you described him perfectly. Growing up his parents treated him like he is God's gift to humanity and as he grew up and the rest of the world didn't confirm this to him, he experienced it as a great injustice. In private he is a very angry petty person hating on the type of people who are not protected e.g. minorities and scapegoats. In the outside world, he is the ultimate pick-me guy, fake nice, two faces, and only cares about how he looks in the eyes of the ones he wants something from.

Because I really dont understand such a mindset of blaming others for all your problems to such a degree.
In a world full of "Nice Guys", be a genuinely "Good Man" instead.
himbo's are are a good example of what "nice guys" think they are... but instead their just incels who think being "nice" to a woman is what's going to make her fall over for him but it's not.

Same thing
When I met my husband I was shocked at how kind he was. He would do nice things both for me and others, just to do them.
I had dated so many “nice guys” that genuine kindness seemed so strange. I remember I used to ask him “where are your horns?”
But he didn’t have any and he thought it was strange that I had such big reactions to things like him picking me up from the airport, cooking dinner, or cleaning the apartment.
My previous dating experiences where with guys who needed me to know every “nice” thing they did. It was a constant ledger I has to work against.
But kindness doesn’t work like that. It’s not about creating debts, or power over people.
@Theking10 I mean I've known a lot women, especially when I was younger, who where going through very self centered stages in their lives, and who still had guys chasing after them. I know part of that is age, there are men who like to chase young women. Most of these woman have matured past that stage, or I've fallen out of contact with them so I don't know.
Meanwhile I truly tried to be a "nice girl" I always tried to show up for others, and listen, and do the emotional work with people. But guys didn't give me as much attention, and that was ok, I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'm diffinently not a cool girl. Me being nice did not mean that I deserved more romantic attention then my more self centered acquaintances. Even though sometimes that felt unfair to me.
The guys that did date me always thought of themselves as nice guys, but also made sure I knew how replacable I was to them, I was not highly valued. I had learn to respect myself enough to learn these men where not my responisblity. It was not my job to keep their attention, and I wasn't going to "heal" their personalities into treating me well. I took a couple years off dating until I could approach it with joy and a sense of adventure again.
When I was in my late twenties I met my husband, he was so kind, and I tried to be just as kind to him. From the start of the relationship there has been a lack of power plays, and we are both really open about the fact we value each other.
Resentment is so easy to pick up on, and is so uncomfortable to be around. I know the fact that when I started dating again that I had honest to goodness joy for each date I went on, even if it was just a walk that didn't lead to another date helped me find someone who also had a lot of joy.
Anyway yes, human are complex creatures, and a lot of us have weird attachment styles. Not sure what else to say...
I relate to this a lot, although in different ways. I’m glad you find a man who values you and treats you with respect now. 🙏🏻💕

I think it is also important to discuss how our cultural railroads young men into these toxic spaces. Once the UA-cam algorithm identifies you as a young man interested in video games it seems to slam your feed full of ben shapiro and jordan peterson.
the YT algorithm is hell
Really?
YES also how many of these creators/online spaces basically target young autistic men (not necessarily conciously but it is pretty clear that that is what ends up happening)
I’ve never seen that on based on watching video games streams on YT
@@christinetobiasz I would bet the algorithm only feeds you that crap if they know you are male. It probably also doesn't help that a lot of popular gaming channels are men with right wing leanings, i.e. pewdeipie. In my opinion, Shapiro and Peterson are the gateway to incel misogamy. Thankfully, I never went full incel, but I feel like UA-cam is what exposed me to that thought process in the first place.
That statement about how all men benefit from the violence of some men really hit hard for me. As an East Asian woman, I've been in the midst of quite a few interactions with men who have accosted me at inappropriate times and ALL of them have been uncomfortable. The Atlanta shootings where Asian women specifically were targeted but the media kept trying to pass it off as "not racially motivated" or justified because "what if they were sex workers?", made my anxiety about this so much worse because I know if I get murdered by a white man in this country, I will not be afforded the same humanity as a white woman. So, when it recently happened to me again, I was afraid of turning down the guy "in the wrong way" and my first thought was literally "what if he's an incel and this triggers him to do something bad?"
Move to to a non white country then just lol

Not just that women would think he had no women friends, but that he was HIDING them was an even bigger one. What was his gf going to think when she inevitably found out about his women friends?
If she's smart she would recognize that he doesn't value women. He has no respect for them and is an awful person for that. She should tell his "friends" how he really thinks about them and then break up. Easy.

@@valeries0817it's a mindset thing. Change how you think. Of you think you're entitled to sex or love because you're there for someone. I'd rather have female friends than girlfriends because a woman will always be there when you need her until you start using her as a fucktoy. Cherish women. Learn from your mistakes and actively change how you think and you'll be fine.
@@valeries0817
Chris is wrong bro, having a girlfriend that respects and admires you in better than a bunch of platonic women friends. What you actually need to do is cultivate masculine traits. I am assuming you’re attracted to heterosexual women. Those types of women are attracted to masculine energy. Confidence, responsibility, focus, direction, protection, discipline, and assertiveness are a few “positive masculine” traits that you’d benefit from.
Confidence comes from you being someone who you’re proud to be. I’m proud of myself for quitting pornography, illicit drugs, and alcohol. I feel good when I get stronger in the gym as a result of being consistent and hitting my nutrition goals. I have career goals I am working towards since I went back to college a few years ago. Right now I’m working on being assertive and having meaningful conversations. To do that I have to be clear, concise, direct and set boundaries. I’m adding substance to my conversations by going deep instead of staying surface level. I’m not afraid of controversial topics and disagreeing with others.
@@valeries0817be open and straightforward and don’t play games. Don’t be friends with a girl/woman just because you want sex or a relationship with her, if that’s what you want, make your intentions clear. If you genuinely want to be friends with her, be friends, but then respect her as a person and a friend if she doesn’t want more than friendship.
As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends I really really value friendship. Friendships are so much more important than relationships and when relationships end, it’s friends who are there to help you pick up the pieces. I’ve been through my fair share of heartbreak and have wished I had more close friends at times. If someone wants to be your friend that’s absolutely something to cherish.
That being said; toxic dynamics where a guy is trying to be friends with a girl, because they want more, and the girl in question being aware of his feelings and not allowing him to move on from her, do exist. To an insecure person, having someone around who they know has feelings for them, can give a sense of safety, even when they themselves aren’t interested, this might result in a constant push and pull, which is toxic and unhealthy for both parties involved.
If you end up in a dynamic like that, rather than drawing the conclusion that all women friend zone men and then keep them around for emotional support, consider that she actually just might not be a nice person, or a good friend, and move on to be friends with people who treat you and your feelings with more respect. And no, more respect does not equal sex..
You always have agency. If someone rejects you, you cannot control their feelings towards you, but you CAN control how you respond to that. You can choose to walk away entirely, or you can choose to be friends. You can choose to respond in a mature way, and that is how you regain your sense of control.
I have been rejected many times in my life, and I haven’t always reacted maturely to that, but the times I did, I’ve felt a lot more agency.
One thing that always baffled me was that these “nice guys” will reject women that they do not find attractive over chasing women out of their leagues and when these women want to date someone as attractive as them instead of a “nice guy” all of sudden they’re called Shallow and “ Girls only like bad boys”, “ Nice guys finish last”. My mom always told me: “ Never feel sorry for a man because while he might be crying for you, he’s making other 3 women cry.”
So everyone should find their "league" and stay in it?

I like how you pointed out that being nice doesn't equal being attractive. Some people push the idea that the bar for men is so low you just have to be nice and women will want to date you. This is kind of true the bar for men is low but just being nice doesn't entitle you to anything and doesn't mean any women in particular will fancy you. Some men take this way too far the other way though and say women only want men that are mean to them which is obviously bollocks.
Yeah, like the guy who committed a mass shooting on women and sadly got celebrated for it, i don't remember his name. There photos of him online, and he was in many people's (subjective, because beauty/attractiveness is always subjective) opinion physically attractive. He was obviously insecure about himself, these incels tend make themselves smaller for their own looks. But in reality it was his disgusting/ugly attitude towards women, which made him lonely, frustrated and undesirable for women. It's actually disturbing how easily it is for incels communities to groom on insecure boys and radicalize them for their own sick believes.

I once retweeted something about the gender pay gap and was immediately trolled by three random men who each had some variation of "I'm a nice guy' in their twitter bio... On a slightly separate note, any boy or man who views women as alien, unattainable creatures who reject them but they still want is a potentially dangerous one.
Isnt the gender pay gap mostly that men work longer hours, and more years. I.e. are more important to the company, and usually women would have had less time in the work place, since its normally women taking the kids first sick days at home, and in general are the glue the hold everything together. which is hard work by itself.
the gender pay gap is real but it's not real because of the "patriarchy". The data that is used for promoting the gender pay gap is the average of what women vs mem get paid across many different fields of works and positions - not how much women get paid in the exact same position putting in the exact same amount of hours, vacation, sick days and time spent at home after birth. It doesn't prove anything about an actual injustice in the pays, just that women overall work less then men or overall have worse paying positions (and also that feminist propaganda doesn't care to explain the data they use in a truthful way).
Women always talk about themselves as if theyre this different otherworldy group that needs to be treated special, so being treated like aliens is something yall have done to yourself. Also the gender pay gap has been debunked many times. You dont have to be a genius to figure out companies wouldnt break the law so they could not hire women

The problem is that they have unresolved trauma where they are desperate for love/approval. So they hide their true intentions and try everything just to not experience a no. Conflict avoidance … until they get overwhelmed and snap.
I can’t believe incels think that women won’t sleep with someone who isn’t the most conventionally attractive person they’ve ever met. Some studies have actually shown that men that are considered conventionally attractive aka ‘chad’ are less likely to be egalitarian, and personally, that would make me less interested in them. A lot of the people I’ve had crushes on have traits that men are often insecure about- acne, thinness, skin marks, etc. and I find when you are drawn to someone’s personality it makes them more attractive. It’s almost like incels assume women judge men in the same way that they judge women; objectifying them.
Definitely most of these incels want an absolutely gorgeous woman who's never had a boyfriend while have no personality what so ever
@@incharak1927 Thats the irony of it, these incels communities mostly complain that women these days have way too high standards and they all just want super attractive rich guys.

A big problem I think as a man is that we learn, many times, that talking about our emotional needs and taking care of them with other men is gay, and not something to be done. Which leads to many meen feeling that only women can take care of their emotional needs, leading to a desperation which can easily trigger anger when being rejected.
That's interesting, if needed and comfortable enough, I hope men would open up more. But when we say things like that, some men would say it's just as making them weak and it will be used as an insult like- I can't believe men showing emotions and being vulnerable would be seen as weakness up to this day.
I wonder if someone did hurt him for being vulnerable, it doesn't make every women be a jerk, same goes to men.
The thing is no woman is going to care about some average looking dudes problems in life when he whines to her about his looks, or his shitty etc.. it is a huge turn off.. Let's be honest, unless you're quite attracted to a woman, most men are not going to care about them bitching about their life all the time either
@@michaelangst6078 There is a big difference between whinying and being generally vulnerable. Whinying is not that attractive, and could often be a red flag. I don't think it's attractive when women do it either, and I'm a heterosexual man.
However, to be vulnerable sometimes and to own it and opening up to her and letting her into your world so she can see you as a real person is attractive. There have even been scientific studies where they let men and women open up to each other in this way, and most of the participants ended up dating. It is a show of strenght, because by not opening up you show her that you are affraid to show her your true self, and she will feel rejected and shut out because of it. By opening up you show her that you own who you are, are not afraid to be judged and that you trust her.
However, only open up to good people. Narcissists and those like them will use your vulnerability against you. One can always test people by opening up a little about non sensitive things.
@@marcusappelberg369 I agree with you, but the problem is most women will find an average looking dude ''opening up''' as a man bitching about life and most will find it unattractive. You combine this with barely being attracted to the guy in the first place, and women will lose all respect they have for the dude... Obviously this isn't always the case, but it probably is more often than not... How do I know this?? Just look at youtube videos about men bitching about life... The amount of women who try to comfort the guy is very small parentage, and the men who comment will be saying this is why the blackpill exists etc.... If an average looking woman makes a video bitching about life, Most of the comments will be super positive saying how pretty the woman is from both men and women.... There is a massive difference
@@michaelangst6078 This is not my experience, and I consider myself pretty average as a guy, although liking and valuing myself. Then again I value women's friendship as much as romantic connections, and let things go where they naturally goes. So if I open up to a woman who's a friend and she is comforting me that feels equally good. And is pretty nice to just be without playing this game of trying to impress her or being on your best.
Maybe average or not is a mindset, and it is also about differences between attraction. Someone can see you as the hottest thing since sliced bread while others are not attracted at all. That's life. It is more important to put faith in your own opinion of yourself and like yourself than listen to others. :)

Innit -.- sometimes all you have to do is accidentally glance at them in a bar 🤦♀️
I used to talk to an incel who said men and women cannot be friends and he only talks to girls with the intent to date and sleep with them, when I said I'd never feel that way for him he'd say "don't worry, i'll change that very soon". That along with his very disgusting behavior caused me to ghost him until he decided to block me all on his own which was great for me.
It’s because most men don’t receive positive attitude or complements from women their in a relationship with let alone a stranger
It's probably because women see men as being the chaser so men look for any hints or green light of interest. There's no book saying these are the signals and if there is it's usually b.s. women are different ,different brains with different ideas of hints. So whose to say one girls flirting isn't another girls I'm just being polite.

Ofc females only look for alpha chad confident man with resources. Evolutionary traits bro. Just divert your focus, make a goal and grind! Remember:
"If I get a dollar for every time women find me unattractive, they will find me attractive"
That's like saying don't be depressed, people don't like it...
Like wut? What am I supposed to do about it now? 😅 It just seems like a gross way of saying I don't wanna go into detail with your issues, I don't actually wanna help... Which is shitty but there are still better ways to go about it if you just can't give advice at the moment. Saying what they say is really the dumbest thing you could say in that situation
People have a tendency to see mental problems as not important. Like someone might say that having a disabled leg is worse than depression. But the thing about physical problems is that it doesn't always affect all parts of your life. An example of this would be you may not be able to stand without a crutch but you can write with your hands, a depressed person might not be able to pick up the pen. Because your brain is involved in EVERYTHING you do, every movement, every thought, every action and choice. Because it's literally an illness in your brain. Telling a person with cancer to just stop having cancer would be unreasonable, so why do people tell others to just straight up stop having anxiety? It's stupid, it's idiotic, it ignores any semblance of logic. Mental health is very, very important. It cannot be fixed in a day, nor a week, nor a month, it likely won't be fixed in a year and it can continue to affect you for the rest of your life. If you seriously need help, get a licensed therapist, not a woman or two to try to "fix" you while not knowing or having the capabilities or skills to dissect what's "broken".
There was a guy years ago when I was in high school who started talking to me on the bus, sometimes we had nice times but I felt he was a little bit pushy and I didn't want a relationship with him. So we had nice chats and one time I was preparing for a contest and had to collect some articles which I didn't know where to find. He got all of them and I was really glad although I didn't ask him to do it I was just telling him about my day. Time goes by he messaged me on Facebook he started to get really pushy and I told him I'm not interested in him just as a friend. Then he called me names because he got those articles for me and that's what I do in return... Mind you I didn't ask him to do it and never said anything flirty. I thought that was it but weeks or months later he came to visit me in my home and got me birthday presents while I never told him where I live.... Yeah I guess he was a very scary nice guy.
Damn what a creep
@Dustin Stich He gave me a drawing of a girl with a guitar on a field which represented me and was made by someone else. If I don't take it I disrespect the person who drew it. But thank you for making my social anxiety even worse because saying no is really hard for me even if it's a lot of work and I'm doing lots of favours.
if he was good looking would you have been in a relationship with him
@@Lowclasswarrior778 she didn't state he wasn't good looking tho. Stop the projecting
yikes what a creep. especially him giving you birthday presents when you didnt even tell him where you live, fucking scary. hope he never comes in contact with u again.
why is incel vocabulary so viscerally nauseating 😖😖😖
Yep
Because the participants themselves are nauseating.
Incels and most feminists can shake each other's hands when it comes to use such vocabularies.
I swear to God if I hear "Chad" again I'll probably die.
wow there's two of them in the comments rn 👀👀
y'all know we can see your comment history right?? embarassing 🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
them thinking all relationships are based on looks and not personality really emphasizes their dehumanization of the human interaction
Honestly Hugo never sat right with me and even the way he behaved on tiktok afterwards just made it so that he became even less likeable. When you add on top of that that he never spoke up for Kaz and that he encouraged Liam to essentially cheat on Millie, makes you question how "heroic" his speech for Chloe was. As for the rest, never knew how intricate incel groups were but that is honestly terrifying, honestly wish this was held to the same standard as other dangerous groups. As usual love your videos, loved how informative this one was!
There’s a song by 5 Seconds of Summer called “heartbreak girl” that I always hated when I was a teenager and I could never put my finger on why until I got older and realised it’s such a pick me boy/nice guy syndrome song. The song is about a guy who is in love with his girl best friend, yet she clearly only see’s him as a best friend, and is in a relationship with another guy. The lyrics keep talking about how she would call him up to talk about her problems but he was sick of hearing about it bc she should be dating him. It always irked me bc I was like bro she doesn’t see you that way, move on and just be a good friend. 5sos hate the song now but it’s the epitome of this topic!
I dedicate this song to you😩😩😩
I'm surprised you didnt start talking about Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes instead, which is in my opinion the Nice Guy anthem. I used to love the song when I was younger (and even as an adult I do still somewhat romanticize the 'knight in shining armor' archetype), but nowadays it makes me cringe so hard, especially the chorus
Omg the “pick me, choose me, love me” I love you sm hahaha once again you killed it with this video. Glad to see you back!
I feel like distinguishing “incel” and “virgin” in general culture is the most effective catalyst to the incel pipeline. Nothing wrong with being a virgin, everything wrong with being an incel
Just try to have a conversation with feminists. As soon as they find out that you disagree with them on something, you'll be labelled as "incel" or "misogynist" or at least "sexist".
@@cancelled_user if that happens to you frequently enough to be your expected norm, have you considered if they are, in fact, appropriate terms? Are you the victim of false labelling by every woman you engage with, who likely have no connection to each other, or are they calling a spade a spade? Just food for thought
@Gwapa snuna you couldn’t pull either of those suggestions from the OC if you tried, which I assume must mean you’ve mistakenly replied to the wrong comment?
@@Hayley-kp6wt Are you paying attention to what you are reading? And are you actually thinking about it?
Firstly, I wasn't talking only about myself. Can you see that in my post? I see other people talking to feminists as well and I see how feminists react.
Secondly, not "every woman".
I was talking about FEMINISTS, which most women are not. Also, there are some male feminists as well (they are usually the ones blaming other men most).
@@cancelled_user possessing the disillusion that most women aren’t feminists is your first mistake. And I stand by my point, it sounds like you’re gaining these labels from sought out conflict, if multiple strangers are claiming you’re misogynistic, it could be valuable to at least ponder whether they have a point, or whether it serves you to engage such conversations at all
I read that book as well - omg it was horrifying. But tbh, it wasn't the graphic posts that were the most disturbing to me, it was all the little catchphrases that I'd heard men in my life using and didn't know had originated on incel forums
Such a marvellous video! It's cognitive to know not only about pick me girls, but boys as well. You are so beautiful ❤️❤️
thank you 🥺🥺💖💖
Reading the comments underlines a very important fact that incels/Nice Guys don't understand: People don't like to spend time with someone who is always depressed/talking down about themselves/pessimistic/etc. because *it's draining.*
It's a vicious cycle. If all you do is piss and moan about how girls don't like you, or you're so underappreciated, or whatever, then people are going to stop wanting to be around you and your life will genuinely get worse and more lonely over time. If you fixate on one disappointing part of your life too much, you blind yourself to the good things you do have. Your friends--of all genders--want to feel appreciated and valued, and if you spend most of your time complaining about your romantic or sexual relationships (or lack thereof) when you're with them, then they won't be your friends for very long.
Ok and? Like f*** you, because there is no solution facef***
And yet history shows a ton of women like to fix men when they’re feeling down. The way random rude ass (noticeable minority for me) women treat me when I’m emotionless, tired, and halfway to complaining is funny. Nice guy is just the term entitled women are using to describe men they hate to the point they would never have sex with and hope other women won’t too. I’ve literally met women who shower attention to clowns and gay dudes to inspire jealously simply because they caught me smiling one day. I’ve been around some women who try to remind others that some guys are sexist, put hands on them out of jealously and spite, and have extreme egos. They get shut down of course because idfk.
Struggling to find romantic connections and being frustrated about it is not harmful in and of itself; that is a very human experience that most people can relate with. However, getting angry because you think you're automatically owed sex and being resentful towards people for having standards and exercising free will is harmful behavior.

@@shanbruton8762 women are already scared of dangerous men as is in almost every aspect of life. I'd rather laugh than cry about it.
bruh this is a brazil thing too, but we call them cabaços.
I remember hearing of men’s right references and I thought they were like focusing on issues that affected men (as well as others) like mental health, dismantling toxic masculinity, helping men gain custody of their kids to prevent them from being put into the system if the mother can’t look after them etc. I googled what actual movement is fighting for and It was literally nothing like I thought
Its a very fragmented scene, i do think some of the mras are way too focused on the opposite gender, but there are plenty of men who are focused on mens mental health. since its still a bit of a taboo to talk about
Yeah and I honestly feel that MeN's RiGhTs was a movement that was supposed to be made against feminism just like how ALM was a movement made against BLM....
that's why I don't support it. Period.
The problem with MRAs, incels and MGTOWs is that they weaponise men's issues.
@Dustin Stich what? Lmao...😂💀
@Dustin Stich please explain
‘incels are very lonely, they obviously don’t have a girlfriend’. CACKING LOL I love you jordan
They don't love themselves.
Indeed!!
@@cestbonne7827bruh
A few weeks ago I watched a documentary about incels. One individual was questioned about his view on himself, women and dating. He viewed himself as physically unattractive, which to him was the reason women didn't like him. Cause, so he said, they were "wired" to only get attracted by looks. In his dreamworld women get assigned to men, so everybody has the partner the males "deserve". I wouldn't care if a guy who says this looks like Chris Hemsworth. This view on women as possession and the entitlement is a raging turn off. It's fascinating, that incels suffer so much and spiral down in a behavior, that makes it almost impossible to find a meaningful relationship.
Omg girlie I've had a kidney infection before they're the most painful lord, i hope you're feeling better now 💕 also your intros aren't too long I'd love to listen to you talk about your cute flat
Me too! Agree agree
Uhm, my ex boyfriend and i would often argue about why women are seen as dirty for sleeping with say 10 men, and men are praised for sleeping with 100 women, and he would say its because women have all the power and the choice so its harder for men to get laid, men have to WORK for it so that’s why its seen as a reward for men…
He would also get really upset and say things like “i feel like you’re not attracted to me anymore” or “i feel rejected by you” when i wasn’t in the mood to have sex, no matter how many times i tried to explain to him how i personally just don’t have a high libido..
Things are making so much sense now. Thank you for making this video.
Glad hes your ex - my husband also doesn't have a high libido and even if he was in the mood but I don't feel like it he won't shame me over it .. I did say I felt rejected and unattractive for a little while , due to the constant rejection and why I didn't pursue him as much. That was just something we discussed In a calmer manner without name calling.. there are good men out there that don't treat woman like that
Ok but literally no one praises men for sleeping with 100 women. They are 100% gonna be called players and red flags lmao
that doesnt make sense to me bc since males have to BEG for sex, wouldnt them having a higher body count be pathetic? like it just shows how desperate they are.
@@jezebelleh.4984 no, because the ones that have to beg usually don't get any sex. Although it is true that men have to work harder for sex. But women not as much since there are hundreds of sexual addicted men per women.
@@PTS-Maid isnt "working harder" for sex still pathetic and desperate tho? like ALL that effort for it to be wasted in like 2 mins 💀
When I was younger I looked into the incel subreddit (which I believe has been deleted), hoping that if I showed them some kindness and understanding as a woman it would help them somehow. The exact memories of my interaction with the community is foggy nowadays, but I do remember eventually realizing my efforts were in vain and leaving the subreddit.
The community is very sad, but I just want any girl out there who has an "I can fix/heal him" mentality to realize that you cant. Its not even your responsibility.
"Focus on your goals and find your happiness, the rest will come." Best lesson my uncle taught me before he passed.
I USED to be that kinda guy
But funny enough, I felt better when I got rejected with an “Oh well” attitude than I did when I had a “That’s not how this is supposed to go” attitude
It was then that I realized I would rather strive to be a good person, than to be a nice person
tw: sexual harassment
.
.
.
.
Almost all the men who sexually harassed me in high school were pick me boys. Claimed that nobody liked them, claimed they were ugly, thought that because they were nice they were entitled to my time and my body. And then would lash out when I said I wasn’t interested in dating or hooking up and gaslight me, making me feel like a bad person and that I was crazy.
One even tried to convince me that the date we went on where he talked about us dating and touched my hips and waist and then proceeded to sexually harass me for several days after that it never happened. A reminder: Consent to one thing doesn’t mean consent to everything. I did consent to him touching my body but I did not consent to him sending me pictures of himself in the shower and telling me about all the wet dreams he had about me (I made it clear I did not like these things.)
He gaslit me so bad that I didn’t even realize what happened until almost a year later.
I’m pretty sure my brother joined this movement. He acts so different now, in the worst way possible. It’s devastated me for the longest time
Maybe try talking to him?
I’m sorry. It’s really hard when a sibling becomes someone nasty. My sister was horrible to me for a while. She’s better now. I hope you get your brother back.
Honestly, don't even bother with him. He'll learn from his mistakes when girls keep dumping him and he'll learn the hard way but at the end of the day, it's his love life, not yours so if were you I wouldn't even care.
how/in which ways is he acting differently now?
His life is saved
Sometimes I worry that my brother is a nice guy. I think he has one female friend (who he asked out lol) and he's only ever had one relationship when he was 16. He always talks about wanting a partner to be his rock and support him but seems kinda confused when I say relationships are partnerships and he'd need to support her too.
One time I told him about a creep who hit on me at work and he couldn't fathom why it made me upset and not flattered. He kept sympathizing with the man for "not knowing how to talk to women" or something. I wish I could make him understand that he can't get a girlfriend because he only sees women in relation to men and not as individuals.
Growing up is realizing you were a pick me boy, and doing your absolute best to move away from that mentality.
Nice
Im glad we are talking about this!!! most of the time its only women who get flack for being pick its high time we recognise its not a gender related issue
Remembering when I fell for a pick me boy, so grateful it made me realise I’m a lesbian
Are you me? Exact same. I thought I liked him, and eventually I realized I only liked him because I thought I had to like a guy and he was my friend.
@@CL-je6sv SAME, he was my friend and I was forced into liking him because of pity, kind of by myself tho, gotta love comphet
WAIT same lol
Same bestie
Same, I'm ace enbian xD
I am a boy who have experience in the past thoughts as: "women prefer douchy guys rather than nice guys". Now I think that I have experienced the situation where one person is interested in you but you are not attracted to them, and it was very troublesome for me
I also hated when women wouldn't straight up rejected me cause I couldn't understand what they were meaning with it or what was my problem. I had no idea that they would do that out of afraid of the consequences of rejecting a bad guy.
I have watched a lot of anime and I think that the "nice guy syndrome" could be related to many romcom series, where a pretty normal (rather boring) guy gets tons of girls just by being nice to them.
I am really glad that I have watched your video. It has opened my mind.
Thank you 😁
And you are still single while Chad is fking all the girls. Congrats! 😁
That generic anime male protagonist (esp in harem anime) is so real 😐 it's trope like this that made me stop watching anime
During a prep course for my thesis the professor mentioned how being described as nice usually isnt a good thing because it means no one has anything better to say. Dont remember why it came up. But it's a very apt explanation for why doing the 'nice guy' thing isnt actually helpful for finding a partner.
Kinda unrelated to the incel thing, but this accurately defines why I hate being called ‘nice’. During my childhood I was always just called nice and smiley, even with people I tried to be friends with. It was extremely disappointing. People would put me on some weird pedestal. Anytime I’d get more comfortable with a friend and got a bit lippy, as I like to, they’d act all shocked and I’d immediately close up again, lol. Me personally I don’t think I’m nice in anyway, just polite. ‘Nice’ always seems like a very superficial compliment, it’s not seeing a person for what they are.
to cite into the woods: "you're so nice, you're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice"
@@moethemoon On the other hand, it's not such a bad thing either. I knew somebody who picked on me and called me "boring" just because most people in school described me as "nice" (I'm shy btw, that's probably the reason for the answers)
And I would add that being called nice by people of the same sex is probably complementary because they see in you genuine character and not just someone to hang out with cause you both share the same interests. It’s more bland though when coming from the opposite gender and probably is just another word for friendly.
I love that you made this. You really explained everything and the warning signs well. I just had a horrible experience with a "nice" guy during last summer. It was actually traumatizing. You helped me understand it more!

This video does a great job explaining why men fall into the red pill community in general
nice girls nice guys
🤝
Instead of creating a yin-yang they created a whole pain, agony, and sorrow.
the advice about seeing men who has no female friends at all as a red flag actually awaken me to another red flag that is unfortunately very common amongst straight indonesian women: if they think men having female friends is a red flag, then _they_ are the red flags. 😬 separation between males and females (as sexes) in our society ran so deep to the point that actual platonic relationship between men and women are often seen as odd by both groups. like i remember back in high school one of my class mate (male) was really good friends with our other class mate (female) but every time he hung out with his then girlfriend he had to BLOCK all contacts with his close friend and delete their chat history bc his gf would go through his phone and get mad if she sees our classmate in it. and everyone treated it as a mild nuisance. i, too, wrote it off as "borderline toxic" instead of downright toxic. yikes yikes yikes.
I learned so much and now feel more equipped to talk to some of my straight friends who are susceptible to this distorted incel ideology. Thank you so much!
Young boys are raised in a world where women are commodities and when the mature and can’t “buy” what they think is being “sold” to them, no matter what the currency is- being nice, money, nice dinners, etc- they don’t understand it and they throw fits. Awesome video :-)
Ikr. It's so toxic. I wish we lived in a world were the woman and the man in the relationship would take turns to buy each other food. And anyways, dinners, gifts, a bunch of flowers, etc. costs!!
Absolutely Champagne we do. Don’t date misogynists/misandrists or cheapskates, then you will find that. Billions of people in the world, not everybody is as you say
But who raises these boys though? Their mothers.
@@confusedturtle8 there are 2 parents and people are raised by their environment too. Also misogynistic women exist too
Women sell themselves you have yourselves to blame
As someone who has been ugly for so long, I can understand how easy is for young guys to fall in those communities. I remember hating myself so much for how I look that the only way to make it better was violence towards others. I still have rage problems, but I've been in therapy and it has gotten better.
I'm a female, BTW.
As a lad who was bullied for being ugly and bullied for being a virgin and never kissing a girl etc etc I had it all. I became really depressed and anxious etc especially when talking to girls. Because I felt like I had to get with them in order to prove people wrong. Which only made it worse cos I never really tried to make connections with girls because I was so obsessed with losing my virginity. I also think because of the way society is men are the ones who are viewed as having to initiate conversations to get with women. So if you don’t have a lot of confidence as a man it’s going to be very hard for you to be able to actually make connections anyways because you aren’t confident in yourself.
Because of this I started to do things that made me more confident. So I started exercising regularly, eating healthier foods, taking better care of myself. Going out more and meeting new people and being more outgoing as well as getting a job where I was interacting with people which increased my social skills. It helped massively but even on top of all this I still feel anxiety when it comes to talking to women I find attractive and it’s still hard to shake that monkey off my back.
I could have easily went down a different road tho if I found those incel communities because so many of them have a similar story. And I feel like those people need to be helped mentally but I wrote my own experience because you are completely right about how people fall into it and I feel like it’s only going to make people problems worse if they are in these communities if people don’t give them the proper help they need
@@mikelitorous5570 And how a relationship with women would have made a difference? It's a waste of time both ways. My advice for unattractive guys would be to go monk mode and give up all social media and find some other reason to live.
@person blue I understand but you are still unaware about some reality or you are ignoring it. Men will never get affection from women, you always have to provide something to get affection and that's not the definition of affection, yeah if you are a top 5% chad, then maybe. Secondly, I know that most people never experienced life like I did, but I turned into a misanthrope and have become numb, nothing bothers me, so maybe that's why it's easier for me.
@@mehulchoudhary5136 I know blackpill is true. From our evolutionary biology, we DO TEND TO be nice to good looking guys. BUT y'all take it to extreme! Average women and average man are on same level in dating market and that's ok. Y'all hate on women for being picky while men are picky as much as women. I feel like if you're below 3/10, it's very difficult for you to get romantic partner. But in today's modern world, we have many solutions from cosmetic surgeries to facial implants to hair transplant to laser treatment for skin, everything is available. So my practical advice to you would be to make money and then opt for cosmetic treatments (which are safe ofc) which would drastically improve your looks. And please improve your personality too. And then going to gym wouldn't also hurt. If you're like 5'4 and below it's also difficult so the only thing you can do is love yourself and be confident. (Believe me if you're 6'2 tall but nerdy and lanky, people would still bully and if you're 5'3 and much confident, you'll give others the illusion of being tall), my highschool jock is 5'8 so it's pretty fine. If you're short, you can find some open minded girl who'll still love you despite your height! :> Hope this helps.
@Gwapa snuna well probably you aren't ugly so you wouldn't understand. I'm not talking about "ugly" people which we see on day to day basis but ugly people who have deformity in thier faces. I was lucky to be born with above average face but tbh ik it's hard for people to be below average in terms of looks.
This video made me realize that lots of the guys who liked me during my high school career were pick me boys. I couldn’t ever explain why they were so creepy when everyone would just tell me to get over myself. It all makes sense now! Thanks for the video!!
I absolutely loved watching your facial expressions while recounting the whole Hugo fiasco bc you looked so done with him. That’s exactly the expression I make way to often when talking about guys and it cracked me up so hard. Great video, I really enjoyed watching it and your look is superb as always xx
i know a guy who's whole personality was being a pick me boy and i think it was just more about wanting attention. it had nothing to do with dating. he would go around telling every girl he was ugly and depressed so that they could gather up and try to boost his confidence. the sad thing is when we first met him he was such a good person and was very friendly with girls and everyone really. he managed to actually make so many girls crush on him until he became a pick me then we all ran away. looking back maybe it was because we were inexperienced and he really was just a 'nice guy'...

@@acelya414 RIGHT it made me so mad

I remember having a pick me boy as a friend a few years ago. At first he seemed pretty normal (except for when he would compare me to other girls and tell me how different and unique I am which I didn't buy into bc I just got into feminism and could tell bs like that reeks off of mysogyny but I didn't really want to comfront him about it so I never said anything) but with time he started to show his true colors. It was when I had this little hook up phase with a guy from my town and he started being a bit passive aggressive, sometimes ignore my texts, straight up confessed to me and told me he didn't like that I was seeing someone else and, mind you, I rejected him bc yeah I didn't feel that way about him and I kept feeling really uncomfortable with the way he kept bringing up the subject (like dude get a hint I ALREADY REJECTED YOU JUST GIVE UP DEAR GOD).
But yeah, our friendship went down the drain bc of all that and one day I decided to just ghost him (I know it's bad to do that but I really had no choice. He wouldn't listen to me no matter how much I tried) and he did found my new socials after that but I just kept blocking him and he eventually gave up.
It wasn't until around 2019 that I got to know the pick me boy term that everything clicked. I do hope he grew up as a person bc he was really REALLY close to turn into an incel
I'm a lesbian and actually think it's useful in weeding out Nice Guys from actual decent guys- the former who get angry, accuse me of lying or ghost me when I tell them vs the latter who accept it and continue to be nice. At that stage I can be pretty sure they are genuinely nice and don't have ulterior motives
"this is a daily problem women have to deal with" I'm wondering if this is why autistic women expend so much energy "masking"? I gather it's a well-observed pattern that they are underdiagnosed compared to men for that reason, and perhaps the reason for the difference is a consequence of the societal pressure you describe? As always your videos are incredibly perceptive, thoughtful, sorry to hear you've been poorly, keep up the good work if you can.
Not only that, we are seen as “hysterical” and we will be diagnosed with bipolar disorder and/or borderline personality disorder before we get a proper diagnosis (if ever getting one at all).
Like my current boyfriend, I told him I was autistic, adhd, and have CPTSD. One night while we were otp, I was going to have a meltdown. I was moody, snappy, and didn’t even want my cats around me. I felt like I was gonna die. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I was just hot. So I went to turn up the AC, and I immediately felt better. He said I was “overreacting”.
He used to say that a lot to me. But recently, he finally got it through his head that I was really going to leave him. I blocked him on everything and was going ghost. I guess that’s when the reality hit. He Started researching my symptoms. Felt super guilty and to this day he’s trying to make it up to me. He understands that I’m not just “over reacting” and “being dramatic”. He said he didn’t realize just how different my brain was and now he understands. He believed me when I told him I was autistic. I mean, I’m not as good as masking as I think, especially when being comfortable with people. So he definitely knew and even thinks some of my mannerisms are cute. But I told him you can’t just accept the cute things and be like “yeah, the quirkiness is the autism” but whenever I do something you don’t like, you label me as hysterical and say my feelings are invalid. We’re better now. There was no malice or ill intent with him.
He’s the first Allistic person I’ve dated, my other boyfriends had autism (this was before I knew I was autistic tho). Whenever they had a meltdown or extremely violent outbursts, they were excused because they’re autistic. They also had the luxury of being diagnosed when they were super young. Like 4 or something. While I’m going on 21 and still don’t have an official autism diagnosis (The other things I listen I was diagnosed with, btw).
I’ve been in mental hospitals and doing this whole “mental health” thing for years. Since I was 11. And they always switch my diagnosis. I’ve been diagnosed with BPD, Bipolar, HPD, even ODD. They were all wrong. I know for a fact if I was a man and didn’t score so high on the IQ tests I had to take, I would of been seen sooner.
@@Trollestiatumblur Hugs, that's tough. Good if he got there eventually. And yes, the whole thing about boys getting diagnosed and women getting ignored ... sadly I gather that's true of other traits and illnesses as well :(
No, people of all genders mask
Women and nb people are under diagnosed because the diagnostic criteria are mostly based on trauma responses from autistic boys and men, not on innate autistic characteristics common in any gender, and because "professionals" are completely without requisite training
Masking doesn't help but it's very possible to identify high-masking people
But women and nb people are absolutely punished for not masking
People say "i just ignore it" or whatever but they can only say that because they've never been denied a job or other necessities because their autism is visible

Some of these girls could be a bit "not-right" in the head when they say "he's too nice", but it could also be because they are aware of the nice-guy syndrome and that those type of guys usually end up being really twisted with their performative virtue signaling or might actually turn out to be stalkers but it's also because...
NICE IS NOT A PERSONALITY TRAIT! They end up having no personality, not showing their shortcomings or quirks, their weird habits and their fun sides, that they basically feel like some weird robot assistant rather than a damn person, its unnerving and boring. Theres no substance and nothing interesting. You should be generally nice to all people you meet and you should just have basic human decency so you wouldnt have to over compensate by being a "nice guy", and when you want someone you like to like you back ofcourse you gotta open up about yourself to see if they even like who you are. And if they dont
MOVE THE FUCK ON, YOU'LL LIVE!
I should know, for I am not single like a pringle by choice, but lashing out and being a little bitch about the boys that dont like me back isnt gonna fix anything and will only validate their decision to not get closer to me. I take it as it is and move on with my life.
U spilled bae
do note you also sound young. you have good thoughts here and understand basic adult things about relationships. you will find one worthy of you... just give it time :D
It's based on concept of "cringe" nobody wants to REALLY show off how they really are when socializing unless they get to know them. So people hold back a lot and keep up a lot of armor around people due to being mocked for being themselves. Being a kid is a legit horrible time for some of us out here.
That's why people are "nice", "agreeable" and or "non-confrontational" since shit hurts. Yet too often their VERY support systems tell them to BE NICE after bad social interactions. I for sure heard it when I was tired of moving from school to school making friends was exhausting yet I was told "Oh just be nice" after I told my mom and my brother "I don't really like making friends". This is honestly before I got older when really my "I don't like making friends" is really I just hate small talk. So I feel sorry for people trying to be social when really there's nobody really there except for those that say "I'll get better after a while"
So being social in the modern sense seems like a high priority yet a lot of grievances within social interaction seems dismissed.
BEST COMMENT
It's also because women don't want to give the real reason why they rejected a guy so they say "you're just too nice" or "you're a nice guy but" as a way to let him down easy, even if the guy is a creep and not at all nice.
As someone who was a nice guy and still struggles with the subconscious nice guy and pick me syndrome, it's caused me a lot of mental baggage. I always question myself on whether I'm being nice to someone because I want to be with them romantically. I want to be better and am trying to not be this way. I have been trying to go to therapy for this but right now my insurance doesn't cover the available therapists in my area. After a while of trying to find someone that is romantically interested in you and failing, you start to question what is wrong with you. You always hear to "just be yourself" but if being yourself doesn't help this failure warps your reality and destroys yourself esteem. I also hear "Your time will come", but again I have been disillusioned with this as well. A bunch of my guy friends have significant others and then tell me not to get a girlfriend. However, I have never felt the love of another person in that way and I want to know what it's like. I was touch starved as a child so that might be a big reason why I crave this physical intimacy like cuddling, hugs, kisses, etc. of a relationship besides s*x. I don't hate women for my lack of success in dating but I do think it is something wrong with me that is the problem. When I see couples, it somewhat makes me sad like as 21 years old my time might be up for easily finding a partner since I'm graduating from uni. I have been really hesitant from using dating apps since my self confidence is not the best. I think I'm average but pretty short being 5'6". Hopefully this was helpful in getting some insight into nice guys mind set and wasn't too much of a rant and coherent.
The fact that you're watching this and admitting those things, it's a solid start. When us women recognize the damages of patriarchy and you guys do that AS WELL by listening to our experiences (and talk to other men about this), that's when there is hope, that's the way.

Dude. I was reading your comment and then got to your age and laughed a bit because- I get it. I get it, it seems like everyone else around you is moving on and doing everything you wish to be doing and it feels like you're stuck but in reality, you're young. You've barely stopped being a teen. You're young, you have PLENTY of time to find yourself and a partner.
It's good to start with not idealizing relationships. When you've been unwillingly single for a while it starts to warp the idea of what a relationship is like in your head. I'm not gonna lie, it's wonderful and amazing, it's also just like any other relationship, apart from the romance aspect. Romance isn't like Disney movies, it won't solve your problems, it won't make you automatically confident, it just won't do any of those things. You'll still have to grow and learn. A relationship is work, it's like a plant you have to water and take care of.
You'll be fine. It's best to let things flow, focus on improving yourself; the person for you will come and then you'll look back at this moment and think you were too hard on yourself for no reason.
oh sweetie you're only 21! i promise your time will come, emotional intelligence and vulnerability and the will to work on yourself are some of the best qualities you can have, and you seem so self-aware already :) don't worry! you have a lot going for you!
@@MilaBelen ok your turn....
36:58 I'm just gonna point out that subtle things like this reinforce the idea that getting a girlfriend = success which is part of what drives incels down the spiral. I think this is a cultural idea that we need to stamp out. (not saying what you said was bad I'm just pointing out how pervasive it is) We as a society really need to stop virgin shaming men, we have such a success-driven culture that so many people derive their value from whatever perceived success society values. We need to show that guys who don't get laid are not failures and that there's nothing wrong with it. It's something that society places value on that's really meaningless. It's not successful people who get driven down these rabbit holes 99% of the time, it's people who feel useless and valueless because they've been told by society that they don't have value. That needs to change, we need a cultural shift away from talking about it like this because rates of male virginity is only increasing as the years go on. If something doesn't shift on how we talk about this then we're going to have a lot more angry incels.
You fail to understand the problem. This isn't a cultural or societal issue, it's a natural issue. Men value the construction of family so having a girlfriend or wife is part of the success, in other words men instinctively know what they were made for, it isn't any "pressure". If they cannot even achieve a simple biological objective, they will be upset because they are failures.
Women on the other hand have other values or ideals. The thing is, they found other means to achieve those in modern society without a need for a husband or family thus it creates this disfunctional culture we have. Tensions only have a tendency to rise judging from my observations.
@@Manic_Panic so what is the solution?
@@marsx5886 It's not up to me to decide. These are complex topics and my thoughts alone aren't enough to provide solutions, just plausible theories. Those who claim to offer solutions on a whim are more often than not, lying to you.
Although, I think having and encouraging genuine discussion where people are actually listening, with no circlejerking, is a good start. Obviously not on social media.
Hook up culture and the hyper-sexed internet culture can feel overwhelming for everyone. But incel rage/ rising male virginity fear mongering ends up sounding like a veiled threat and not the best way to make a people feel safe to talk.
Women get rejected too and women also want families and many women are virgins. Talking openly and normalising personal growth and self love is a good place to start.
This men vs women is rooted in misogyny.
@@Manic_Panic these gender binaries are not as strict or as natural as you have expressed. Men and women really arnt that different.
I’m such a nerd for books I wanna know everything she’s reading on the shelf behind
Great eye. One thing I myself noticed was she had a book called Feminism that wd be interesting read I imagine. Only if they had one called "Feminism for dummies" so guys like me can understand lol. I'm joking just a little.
My current boyfriend has no female friends but saying that a man with no female friends is a red flag goes a bit far for me.
He was 28 when we got together and he was not a player, incel or a pick me.
He is so respectful to every woman.
A lot of guys don't if you do male dominated jobs like engineering you'll mainly only be around guys from university to the workplace, so there contact with women is limited.
I'm 23, and I only have 2 male friends, it's just how things turned out for me
I agree too bc I’m still friends with a college friend whose a guy over 10 years ago we sided to play games together until we both moved away. We still keep in touch tho and now that we married others people we try to check on each other more often but that’s bc he moved back to where I live anyways so there’s that and I am basically his only female friend but I never felt that was weird
Nah, it's definitely true.
If a man is incapable of holding a friendship with women, that's a big red flag that he views women as only good for s3x
im literally writing about incels for my epq. i havent even watched the video yet but i know this will be so interesting!!
Talks about feminism=instant pass smh...

@@jade_ehx600 "shake my head" because you can say the most misandrist shit ever but that's OK because it's under the guise of feminism.

Best notification is when you upload! Especially this topic I’ve been looking forward to you covering! You’re awesome Jordan ♥️
thank you for watching my videos !!!!
you’ve just described my boyfriend of 8 years who was my first boyfriend (since I was 18) and it completely hit me when you said they tend to get with young women or women who haven’t had a lot of dating experience!!! I am glad to now see it but at the same time I am GOBSMACKED it’s taken me buying a house with him & he dumped me a week after to realise it 🙃🙃🙃 sorry for venting!! x
You’re strong af babe . Fuck him
@@baby.nay. thank you!! ❤️
I dunno if having no female friends is a red flag. I know guys with tons of female friends who sleep with (or have slept with) all of them, which is just as much of a red flag for the same reason. They’re only friends with women who sleep with them. You just have to keep your eyes open and understand the situation you’re in.
Those aren't friends then, those are friends with benefits, which are entirely different.
A red flag is just means
Potencially bad
Nothing more
this video came just at the right time😭💕 i’ve just had an experience w a ‘nice guy’ so this was very much needed
As a bisexual man I apologize. Some creeps have this, when a pretty woman gives them affection she becomes their love interest. Once they don't get the love/sex they were waiting for they get mad and won't stay friends, idk why
I feel like although this is the right point view, it's more important to educate those men around you to not fall into this patterns than apologize on behalf of them. That's a space which most women cannot enter and we deeply depend on men doing the work.
You don’t have to apologize for men just like I don’t have to apologize for women, we just need to call out bad behavior when we see it and act like it’s weird that anyone would think acting that way is decent human behavior
Largely, I imagine, because society tells them every day that men and women can't just be friends, and the only time other men are kind to them, is when they're their friend. This leads to the idea that strangers aren't nice for any reason other than interest in something more than just a moment of kindness
Also I agree with Study Buddy, that would be like if I apologised for people like Christine Western-Chandler, Jessica Yaniv, Blaire White or Calvin Garrah. It's just silly.
Just because your gender is somehow related to theirs doesn't mean you are responsible for their actions.
Seriously, sometimes there's no even friendship in the first place and they just expect it is given to them.
I know its a serious topic but the word "feemoid" is so funny to me. I burst out laughing
The way she said it was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@llcooldrockindahouse4631 Feeeemoid
ive had a few experiences with “”nice guys””. they butter you up as much as they can in hope of getting laid, and when it backfires its straight to insults. I had a guy talking to me for about a month or so, he was interested in me and kept complimenting me and trying to buy me stuff (which i declined). but in the middle of this i got a boyfriend, so ofc i let him know like hey im really sorry but i have a bf now. and instantly he turned to insults saying i was ugly and said if he ever saw me around he’d beat me. then he wonders why he cant get a gf. fun times lol
Whyd u string him along for a whole month!
@@Shiro642 i had expressed i wasnt interested any time he tried to get with me but he wouldn't stop, i just wanted to be friends and he knew that. he didnt care. i never led him on, i tried to just speak neutrally to him. just an average not taking no/disinterest for an answer type thing ig. i cut contact w him after anyway.
@@Shiro642 she didn't string him along shut up
