      I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I’ve been living under a rock. Is this about “incels” or this sigma thing?

      Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren’t nice!

        Being a nice person isn’t bad but “nice guy” is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they’re attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They’ll often talk about how nice they are.

        Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

          Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).

          I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I’ll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.
