We're just a bunch of clueless NiceGuys™ with kindness coins that don't seem to work in women's holes so that the sex we're "entitled to" falls out. Because apparently we weren't demonstrating good relationship material through the attention, respect and stability that women demand. We were only "pretending" to be nice just to get laid.
In response to r/niceguys, this forum is dedicated to exposing all the women who complain about wanting a "good man" after dating jerks and riding the cock carousel in the prime of their youth, and think they're deserving of commitment and financial stability when all they have left to offer is their depreciating looks, narcissistic mentality, used-up vaginas, and another man's kids.
Women in their 20s have numerous opportunities to date the decent men they claim to want, but many reject or friendzone these men for jerks and promiscuity. She takes advantage of a good dude's kindness for attention and favors, then accuses him of being a bad person who thinks he's entitled to sex.
But when she's in her 30s with depreciating looks, jerks who won't commit, the likelihood of being a single mom, and the social pressure from her married friends, she asks "Where have all the good men gone?"[1][2] Funny how back when she was chasing the bad boys "Being nice is the bare minimum", but now that she's past her prime and needs a bailout, she wants a man with nice guy traits.
Furthermore, dating jerks and riding the carousel before settling down with a good man is planned by many women, and encouraged by feminists. They then come to the dating market with unreasonable standards while offering little to no value themselves. Such women are totally unaware that the mature, stable men they now need are the same decent men they rejected, except these men remember the rejection and are responding in kind to avoid unstable, unappreciative women who view them more as ATMs than romantic partners.
The reason women end up here is because their behavior is not exposed as the lucid, self-destructive, feminist ideology that it is. And we're here to help Good Men guard their commitment and resources by exposing women who would make poor life partners and mothers of their children. Providing observations and opinions on the posts here allows us to better understand women's psyche and later depressive/miserable state when they are not held to a moral standard required for healthy, functioning relationships.

I wonder how or why she is self identifying as 'very ugly'. I have never heard a woman self identify as 'very ugly'. Women who are extremely ugly (as in difficult to look at) usually self describe as 'not the prettiest' or 'not conventionally attractive'.
And since all women are 10s I highly suspect that she is a tool of the patriarchy.
therefore, WNB.
user84893093748959 Jr. Hamster Analyst 1mo ago
Being ugly has given her a sense of pride. She's proud of her ugliness.
Most truly ugly women and some average women have been pets to prettier women. If this is the case for her, I wonder if she has any resentment toward those women.
Your husband should treat you well, but he's going to be ugly too - average for average. Unfortunately, attractiveness affects earnings for both men and women, so he may not be rich and successful. Virginity is only good up to a point, after which it becomes a question mark. If virgin for religious reasons, she should have been focused on find a husband very early.

She is extremely fat.
I know she's obese because at no point has she said "I'm not fat or anything", which she would.
"Ugly" sounds god-given....... "Fat" is something she can do something about. She doesn't mention it because she doesn't want to be told to eat less cake.

All ugly odd and men learn early on that they will never ever have one hour of the adulation that Chad gets form first class women. They go to bed and feel a life time of unfulfillment every night for years. It hurts. They cope. If they work really hard they can get a bit of second class admiration when they have done something remarkable or if they get a lot of money. That's the limits. All men know that's the limits.
I am sorry for this short ugly woman. It hurts. Never mind men in the bottom 20% who are just doomed, All men in the lower 80% have gone through some realisation that they will just never be golden. We feel your pain lady but please don't be angry about nature. All that's going to do is make you a bitter lonely cat lady.

This is worth says again. Life in general has some "random" luck about it (not completely random but not the point). Some lucky in a good way; some lucky in a bad way. It sucks; it really does. However, it is reality and likely not mutable. Accept it and move forward.

The thing about the top tier women getting special treatment is that they often are not aware that their treatment is special. Rather, it is just the norm to them. Which is why many women who lived their whole lives as attractive women get a sudden shock that the special treatment stops when they hit the wall.
I would argue that top tier men would be far less likely to have this experience, given not only the fact that men do not get penalized when aging but also that most men have to work for the placement of being high status. Sure, there are rare cases where a man is attractive enough to coast on looks, but it is much more rare for that to be the case for a man.
Special treatment is not something that needs to be a goal for anyone. Most people do not get special treatment like this woman wants, and they still are able to live with contentment.
NotaBene Sr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
Special treatment based on attraction is fake and gay. It's similar to being rich. You can't really know who your true friends are until the money is gone.
If there was a magic button that made you a rich, top 1% Insta-Chad, would you press it? I'm not sure I would. I'd be tempted, but I think I like my life better, and I'm not a target for desperate women who will fake anything to get with me.

I think I've only met 2 in my life so far. Mid-40s.
Oddest-One-Here Jr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
I have noticed that both shorter men and women are far more common in lower class areas and employment, in my case despite being about 5'8" which is a bit below average in Australia, I am easily taller than about three quarters of my co-workers at the factory I work in, but on the occasions I visit an office with middle and upper middle class people, I am notably shorter than most of the men as well as a few of the women in those offices.
Lone_Ranger Sr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
Your instinct is correct - height is correlated to income, as a result of selective breeding.
It's very noticeable in the UK. I recall being stuck in a traffic jam in London at school end time, and I remarked that all the kids coming out of the school seemed to be well over 6' tall. My passenger said - that's a private school. (fees are well over $30k a year).
No-Stress-Cat 2mo ago
At 1.52 cm she's just over half an inch tall, looking for a man 7/10 of an inch tall. - That makes her an ugly pixie.
If she meant 152 cm, that puts her at just over 6' tall, looking for a man that's 6'10" tall. - That makes her an ugly troll.
Typo-MAGAshiv asshole. giga-shitlord. worst mod EVAR. 2mo ago
Naw dude.
1" = 2.5cm
6' = 72" = 180cm
152cm = 60.8" = just shy of 5' 1"
She's tiny, if she had actually meant 1.52m or 152cm.
I prefer to think she meant what she said, and is about half an inch. After all:

Shit man, you're right. I can't even do math, let alone expect a woman to be able to.
polishknight WAATGM Endorsed 2mo ago
Updated the flair on Reddit as well. I was undecided on the flair because she didn't go into details what she wanted. Perhaps she wants the whole "traditional dating" thing: Guy games her, pays for dates, holds her door, that kind of stuff. While that's an entitlement "attitude", it's not on the same level as some demanding he pay for cars, jewelry, and such. So I ran with Single Women Tears.
What I like about her personal commentary is how it illuminates how so-called "traditional dating" mores are enforced by women in the present era: Pretty young women can demand "gentlemen" treat them like "ladies" because she has SMV leverage. Might == Right.
Imagine if some basement dweller was to say he wants a girlfriend who will clean his room, be submissive, and handbake him hot-pockets because... that's what Chads get and he WANTS to be treated like Chad. She's throwing a temper tantrum she's not Stacie and holding her breath. That'll show 'em!
It's also fascinating that it's not just a factor of women who are born pretty and then aging out of it it into confusion in middle age "Where are all the good men gone to?!?!" This woman KNOWS what happened to them FROM THE START. She wasn't acclimated to entitlement treatment from the start. She's jealous of hot women and taking it out on men.
moorekom Urban Hoe Guerrilla 2mo ago
Exactly. She does know what she wants: what the hot girls have. As you have pointed out, what she has failed to understand it that she does not have the same quality they have and thus has to bring something else to the table to be treated the same. Some ugly women choose to be kind, some choose to be funny, some choose to be easy and outgoing, some choose to be very sexually dirty, she chose to be entitled without anything to distinguish herself.
polishknight WAATGM Endorsed 2mo ago
There’s a game that high SMV women demand men play: They are not engaging in transactional sex, but rather they’re “ladies” and “gentlemen” enjoy being “real men” to protect and provide for them as a natural part of his identity. That’s what has this woman confused: Why don’t men “naturally” like UNCONDITIONALLY pleasing her if that’s a part of his “gentleman” identity?
It’s also part of the Eff Dee Ess “strategy”: Women who make more demands and have more “standards” are more “exclusive” sort of like putting a velvet rope around a shack and calling it Studio 54 and demanding people take a line: It has to be a good place to go, yes?
Another aspect of femininity as we all know is “pre-selection” and groupthink: If rich people have $2000 designer handbags than them getting a $2000 handbag will make them rich. If pretty women have outrageous demands, then her having outrageous demands makes her pretty. This is why I think women friends may have value as wing-women to help send a message of pre-selection to women.

ObliviousDuck Jr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
She's most definitely fat.
In today's fat society, being fit makes you an automatic 5 and a 6 to most guys even if your face is ugly.
Which means, with a bit of effort, good diet and regular gym, she can find herself a 5 who will treat her like the princess she thinks she is.
Her real issue is laziness and entitlement.
Silly_birb_returns 2mo ago
There was a friend of my ex gf who was exactly like this. Fat, complaining she cannot get a guy but spent all her time watching tv series where the plot was shit but the actors where handsome male models simping for the heroine. She even spent $500 to get into a meetup with the cast of the TV show Supernatural and paid $40 for each picture taken with the two lead actors.
Meanwhile she never spent a cent on a gym membership...
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
The money she could have saved by buying less food (and better food that’s not overly processed), would have been greater than a gym membership, and the time she didn’t spend eating could have been spent working out.
Not only would she end up in better shape, feeling better, and receiving attention from men without having to literally pay them to be in her presence, but she could save both time and money in the process.
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
Ha! We were typing at the same time. I’m writing between sets at the gym, and since I got here several women have been here putting in the work. There are some legitimate hotties among the regulars here, but there are also some women who wouldn’t catch your eye on the street except for the fact that they work out. A woman who is “naturally” in the 4-5 range can become more attractive than 70-75% of women by being disciplined about her diet and exercise.
GimmeTheUsual Sr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
As an aside, its sad when I see the belief out there that once you hit a certain age - whether its 30, 40, 50 - that suddenly you just can't lose weight if you tried.
Its utter bullshit, but it gets repeated as part of the "healthy at any size" insanity we've seen wash over this increasingly obese-populated planet. I've dropped weight, and it just took effort and discipline. Body still works the way it was meant to, after all.
I honestly wonder given the surging number of fatsos if we'll hit some morbid peak where scads of them start dying off, but it gets blamed on something else.
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
I was around 50 when I got out of the military, and my wife and I decided to get serious about being fit.
(Obviously I wasn’t in terrible shape at the time because I was in the military, but during my last several years in uniform I worked in an academic setting, so all I had to do was not bust weight and pass my annual PT test. Still, I wasn’t anywhere near my physical potential because 1) I was good enough to meet the standard and 2) I was incredibly busy with my actual job in addition to being in grad school.)
So in my early 50s I decided to throw myself headlong into the fitness journey. I got down to what I weighed in college (high 140s), and I’ve been within a few pounds + / - of this weight for close to a decade. Some things are gone and won’t come back, but although I’ve lost a lot of the foot speed I had 40 years ago, I’m significantly stronger.
I’m now in my early 60s, and I’ve set several new PRs, including deadlifting 355 and squatting 265.
A lot of young guys don’t realize how much it’s going to suck by not maintaining a baseline of fitness as adults. They discover it when they’re older and it’s a lot harder to fix. Not only do they have to undo decades of damage and change lifelong habits, but their bodies take longer to respond and are less capable in general. In the absence of some systemic condition or major injury, it can be done, but it’s a lot harder, it takes a lot longer, it hurts a lot more, and the “ceiling” isn’t as high. When people say that “it can’t be done at my age,” what’s really happening is that they choose to not do what it takes to overcome those realities.
As you get older you tend to spend more time injured and/or sick, which can interrupt your fitness routine. By hitting it hard when you’re well, you start at a much higher level of fitness when you get sidelined, which means it takes a lot more deterioration before it impacts your ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). That matters as you age.
GimmeTheUsual Sr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
Thanks for the reply - good on you and you are right. Have to maintain or there is nothing to preserve.
On a whim I asked a GPT-esque chatbot what the average weight is for women in the USA. Its answer?
170.6 lbs / 77.3 kilos
I'm sure it much, much more than this given my own anecdotal experience and what I've seen online. Its fucking unreal how many fat chicks are out there.
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
If I’m not mistaken, that number was calculated by the NIH before COVID. I don’t know if there have been definitive studies about the impact of the lockdowns on weight gain, but I remember hearing that people gained a significant amount of weight during the pandemic on average.
The average American woman was on the border of being clinically obese (BMI at or above 30) back then, so it’s likely that we’re past that threshold now. The vast majority of women are overweight, and most of the overweight ones are actually obese.
At the risk of sounding like a chick… that gives me the ick.
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
I have to wonder how much effort she puts into her appearance. Even an ugly woman who’s willing to put in the effort can get into the top half of women simply because most women are fat.
Eat right. Exercise. The rest is style.
She won’t necessarily become a Stacy, but she can become a butterface and get plenty of attention (and a little makeup can sand off the rougher edges of an ugly face… an option that men don’t have). If she gets a figure and then dresses for it, she can do okay.
Oh… and don’t be a bitch.
polishknight WAATGM Endorsed 2mo ago
I don't think that's the case based upon where I sourced this post from. Even so, keep in mind the fundamental problem is that she wants to be a Princess and Princesses don't work, silly! So she's expected to bust her hump for not just months, but even YEARS to try to land a beta male? That's like telling a kid to go to gymnastics classes for the next 2 decades so they can hope someday to place 20th in the Olympics.
I think this is the trap that hits the leftovers as well: With a LITTLE bit of effort (relative to us) an aging biological clock ticker can land a decent looking/earning beta male but... that's not The Fairy Tale. The Fairy Tale is the whole point!
Such women want families, they want children, they want a better life but they just don't want to do the work or making small sacrifices similar to fat people (men and women alike) who want to be healthy, but don't want to work out.
I love to fly business class but I'm not willing to pay business class prices and... that's ok. I don't feel "bad" in economy class because of that. I chuckled that there were some people on flying blogs who said they couldn't go back to economy class after being in business. That's a lack of emotional discipline.
oowiw Jr. Hamster Analyst 2mo ago
Agreed.
What they sell in business class is the part where the rabble boards and you get to see and be seen by the economy class, with champagne in your hand. They're selling the appearance of high social status. Think about it - boarding last would actually be more luxurious, I can get to the airport later and I spent less time on the plane, win win.
First class, which costs the same ratio to business class as business costs to economy, is for actually rich people who already know they have the status. First class is in front of the entry, meaning none of the rabble sees you get on or off.
First class is luxury in the way that having a personal driver is luxury. Business class is luxury larping like driving a lambo around town hoping to be seen. Not saying everyone or even most people in business class are drawn by that ofc! Just saying that's how they market it and set the price.
user84893093748959 Jr. Hamster Analyst 1mo ago
I've always thought this too! I purposely wait for the last minute to board the airplane. I figure it's less time sitting down. I board last stare down on the first class luxury people. I always think, "so, these are the special people... huh... They don't look so special."
oowiw Jr. Hamster Analyst 1mo ago
One time I was late to a domestic flight, arrived at the airport 30 minutes before wheelsup, sprinted to security, finessed the line, sprinted to the gate - and there was nobody there, they were done boarding - the people at the gate saw me running at them, they shouted my name from 50 ft, I replied "Yes!" at 30 ft, they opened the rope and I didn't even slow down or scan passport just sprinted straight down the jetbridge. At the end of the jetbridge the flight attendant was closing the door and saw me, I got in, sat down, and just like that we left...
Was incredibly stressful morning but I'll never forget how 5 or 6 lucky stars aligned for me at the airport that one time.
polishknight WAATGM Endorsed 2mo ago
I used to fly a lot so I know quite a bit about this topic. There’s an entire community obsessed with getting business class travel upgrades. I think it’s rather silly in that while I greatly enjoyed traveling in business class one time, the purpose of my flight was to get from point A to point B, not to just revel in comfort I could achieve in my office chair I’m sitting in now.
That said, there are some who do travel often and getting into business isn’t merely an ego thing but makes the experience pleasurable. The smart ones don’t board early but rather hang out at the lounge and “pre-game” on food and drink. You will largely see most of the business and first class seats empty when you board for that reason.
I enjoyed it when the purser took my jacket and hung it up for me. The food is good usually on plates with a cloth napkin. The seats are what matters: For long flights, it’s like sleeping in your bed at home versus sitting up. Some business class seats don’t fully recline but now the difference between first and business class is sometimes the size of the accommodations including a cubicle. It depends upon the carrier, of course.
The elite don’t take first class, they go private or charter jet. IMO, first class (in most cases) is for suckers in that say if they have to reschedule your flight or assign a pilot to rest in that seat and you get bumped to economy, they will NOT refund the difference in fare between first and economy but rather to economy walk-up price.
The guys I know who flew weekly for work, such as on job-sites, swore by getting business class upgrades making it tolerable to fly that often. I just flew back from vacation last Friday and it was hell: Our flight was delayed by 3 hours so we were 5 hours in a crowded airport surrounded by noisy humanity and lousy food and drink options.
I'm amused at some who will do ANYTHING for status to get into the lounges including paying, I'm not exaggerating, $50,000 on a credit card to qualify or $900 for a card to get into a good lounge. Don't get me wrong, I love the lounge but unless I was doing it weekly it wouldn't be worth it. Now some credit cards give access to lower tier lounges but there's lines undermining the point of the lounges in the first place.
lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
@polishknight
I fly a lot: often enough that I almost always get upgraded (usually to first class) on my usual airline. If I’m forced to fly on a different airline I’m going to be in steerage with the plebs, but that almost never happens.
I got the top-tier card for my airline because it boosts the sky miles I get (which I use for personal travel), gets me companion tickets (lets me take the wife) and gets me lounge access in most of the places where I lay over.
It’s about $500 per year, but given the perqs I get (like food that I don’t have to pay for in the concourses), the real cost is a rounding error in my budget. It’s worth it to me, and I really appreciate getting first class treatment.
I fly to Hawaii occasionally, and last time I got upgraded all the way to the front of the plane. That’s past first class and all the way to the seats that lay flat. That sort of thing makes a big difference on a 10-hour flight.
polishknight WAATGM Endorsed 2mo ago
Good for you! I can't travel so much because when I leave the house for too long, chaos ensues...
I concur if you're getting into first class without paying but rather getting upgraded. I think the trick with the airlines was to quietly steer "loyalty" to an airline and drive up spending with other people's (the company's) money back in the 90's which was a golden age of flying for me: Cigarette smoking was recently banned on flights, it was easy to qualify for loyalty status, and the lounges were great. Back then, it was a big deal to have computers with internet access and some IFEs.
Back when I was young, and I'd say for young men reading this now, get a job where they want you to travel on the company dime. It's great. You meet a lot of people, it helps with socializing, and so on.

lurkerhasarisen A Strategist Among Tacticians 2mo ago
Yeah… virtually all of my flying is paid for by taxpayers (indirectly: I work for a company that does government contracting). We’re required to book coach class, but I fly so much that I’m currently in the highest tier there is with my usual airline.
Theoretically we’re supposed to go with the cheapest flights, but we’re required to share transportation, so we have the leeway to synch our arrival and departure times (we fly from different places). Plus; my status gets me free baggage, so I can factor that into the cost. Like I said; I almost never have to ride in steerage.
