I haven't really followed this since Monday morning (I think) when she first tweeted it. How did it go from "actually I was trolling ha ha jokes on you" to "SJWs run amuck. Only Chuck Johnson understands me?"

There's a bit of history online of guys talking about how nice guys never get girls & girls always go for jerks. (the implication being they're super nice guys despite being single)
This is made hilarious when their reaction to rejection often ranges from being mean to outright stalkerish/creepy & that they often initiate friendships with the sole purpose of pursuing a sexual relationship.
It kinda made "nice guy" codeword for "doesn't get why women hate him".

Nice People =! "Nice Guy".
The "Nice Guy" is the guy that goes above and beyond for his best girl friend just so that she could be interested in sleeping with him/dating him. He's not REALLY nice, he's being nice for show.
Basically this movie:
It's not working.

This is one of those situations where I'd like to think the guy is just trolling for attention. It's pretty fucked up just how detache from reality some people are. I feel kinda bad for him but at the same time guys like him make the world are much scarier place for a lot of women.

At first I was like ,,who?''. Then I was like ,,15 pages, wth?''. And then came the usual ,,omg why did I spent time reading this?''. Web 2.0 always gives a platform to the worst people, I can't even bear YT comments. You'd think on sites with real profiles there'd be less of this shit...

Opening intro to Xenogears.
A year ago I'd have been willing to give his point of view ("why didn't you just tell me you weren't interested") a small measure of lenience in the name of moving on, but GamerGate revealed the disgusting bubble fantasy this mindset perpetuates and proved me naive for giving any benefit of the doubt to people like this guy.
EDIT: and in his case, she was completely clear about being off the market.

Sure buddy, blame women for you being socially garbage.
This is insulting to those of us who are socially garbage. He's below us.
That's because this incident is indicative and representative to all the bullshit women have to put up with in the age of social media and IM'ing. This dude couldn't be more stereotypical if he tried.

Welp, she's now (according to her twitter) getting random phonecalls and silent voicemails. The internet is awesome if you're a woman and decide to speak out on someone being a creep to you!

The older I get the less I have any interest in putting any aspect of my life onto the internet.
For the love of God, you just cannot have an opinion on the Internet or speak up against creeps if you are a woman.
If woman rights were outside of the Internet what they are in it, woman still wouldn't have right to vote in the best case scenario.

If only this was like Beowulf and there's actually a Grendel's mother behind this guy.
What....?
Why are people so creepy?
Actually it's about ethics in lists making.

Why? He got the hotter girl and Harry got stuck with ginny. Funny how jk Rowling regrets getting Hermione with Ron at the end. Harry and her had way more magical chemistry
Hell man, I've got people telling me that this guy is in the right because "it's just his opinion and he should be able to speak it".
These people are single.

It's so frustrating because you could call me a single loser and even like that guy, I grew up without a dad, and yet I can definitely see how wrong his actions are. Too bad the genuine guys like me are in the minority here

Ah yes, the old "Freedom of speech!!!!!!!!!!!" argument. Spoken by people who want to be assholes and want everyone to be forced to hear them talk about what an asshole they are
They love to protect each other, I'll give them that

This guy is out of his mind and disgusting. The part in the apology where he said he wrote a huge letter "putting her in her place", what a scumbag. Are we sure he is trolling? He seems more Elliot Rodger than Nice Guy
Edit: Not that I'm comparing his actions to Elliot Rodger. He just has the same mindset as him and a scary number of men have it, that they are owed something from women for no other reason other than they are men.

Men are works of art.
This why I'll never be proud of being part of anything internet related.
Sorry GAF
his tweets seems to be him being as absurd and anti-humour and outlandish as possible to try and create the impression that it was all ultimately a joke which is quite pathetic and obviously no-one is buying. actually all his interactions are basically just twelve different ways of him trying to cluelessly spin his way out of a perfectly normal thing like being turned down by a girl you like.

Well yeah, it's Ryan Reynolds. Could you say no to Ryan Reynolds?
Ugh it's so messed up that some people(mostly men) get so aggressive when rejected. This guy is creepy as fuck and has completely lost it.
Also yuck at Harry and Hermione. They were toxic in their own ways but them being good friends was a great thing. Not everyone should just pair up because they're close friends.
Also she didn't say she didn't say she regretted it.
It also goes over the "friendzone" garbage and even has one of the characters be a huge asshole over it.
Except in the books Ginny is supposed to be the most popular and attractive girl...

Yes but the whole movie is going through the fact he's faking being nice to have sex and then realizes by the end that just being yourself and actually respecting the person you're with is a lot better.

Every time a guy does this 180 after a rejection it reminds me of this clip:

They both are trying to seduce Jamie Palomino to bang her for being put in the "friendzone".
I've watched the movie multiple times. I love it's over the top cheese and yet the message still remains relevant.
Depends on how Deadpool turns out. Dude's on strike 2 currently after Origins and GL.

Please don't resort to insulting him for a mental illness he may or may not have. And holy crap the people who tell him to kill himself (not in this thread, mind). It's so disheartening to see people who likely think that because they are on the right side of this shit show, that they can pull that kind of nonsense. :/
LiquidSword

And the people on the wrong side will use this as proof that they are right and rant about SJW's and then round and round we go. It is really tiring. I just don't understand who these people are. Like you have enough moral fiber to see that this guy is totally wrong and creepy but not enough to think "hmm maybe I shouldn't send this message telling him to kill himself"

Crazy. So many asshole dudes out there who just can't handle rejection. They seem to think women owe them a response--owe them their time.
