Think of all the cringeworthy things we do. Like realizing you were walking the wrong way and having to do a complete 180 on the street. Or assuming your coursemate asked for your number because they thought you were cute and gently telling them that you're seeing someone only to understand they just wanted to work on your group project. What about waving to someone who's definitely waving to a person behind you? That's a classic.

Now multiply the embarrassment these actions have caused you by approximately 1,325 and you'll know what to expect from r/Cringetopia. As you may have learned from our previous publications on this subreddit here, here, and here, it's the place to go to when you want to confuse and disturb your mind. Which, I guess, everyone has to do every once in a while to keep themselves in check—if you find that the content below doesn't bother you at all, please contact your shrink.

Because “most nice guys” aren’t attractive to women & think because they are nice to a woman, that means that woman now must have a relationship with them, these so called nice men seem to struggle deliberately with boundaries that normal men can read, if a woman is nice to you in a store, that’s because it’s her job, not because she wants to marry you & when you keep turning up at her work & staring at her, that’s not acceptable but nice guys will argue that they were just admiring her beauty.

Not even a relationship. They think they are owed sex just for smiling at or saying hello, please and thank you to a "female" nicely ffs. When the incel reddit still existed all they talked about was how they had the right to rape women, because they were so nice and every female (they wouldn't call it a girl or a woman) just owed them sex. And if she wouldn't give it there was obviously something wrong with her and they would have a right to take it. Yes it was that bad. yes these incel neckbeards are that disgusting

Choose? Seriously! My mom's ex literally had a whole fake personality just to charm her - after about a year and a half THAT's when he started showing the real him. We were trapped for about 6 years, but we survived and now my mom is in her first healthy relationship. So no, women don't choose. The abusive men disguise themselves and then start revealing.

Because anyone calling themselves a "shy nice guy" saying he will "treat hou right" is a disgusting incel neckbeard. We need some laws to ban incels from participating in society. Both in the real world and online. Especially online, where they're not hiding behind mommy and think they can are owed so much just for existing. I need to stop now, because I could rant for literal hours about "nice" guys and their stupid fedoras

They probably did, but he was hiding his “abusive Chad” side until he was sure he “got” her. SOP for both abusers and narcissists (both of whom are generally interchangeable, btw).

Thats usually how it is. They STILL believe they are the "nice guy" because they can't or won't believe/see the abuse as part of them. Thats why abuse rarely ends if it ever starts, because when you cross that line it becomes a new "normal". They often believe its the victim who is to blame too because they won't accept the idea of the abuse as something they do, its always "i'm a nice person BUT she/he got me mad because..."
