friend zone

There's been a lot of talk about incels and 'nice guys' over the past few years, and for good reason. There really are dudes out there who fervently believe they're entitled to the affection of women just because they treat them with a modicum of kindness. Sadly, they don't realize that being benevolent in order to get what they want isn't actually "nice." It's manipulative. And when the manipulation doesn't work? They go off the rails and reveal their toxic and entitled truth. These specimens from r/niceguys truly encapsulate this mysoginistic and cringey mindset. We hope they get the help they so clearly need. Or at least a really good talking to.

Okay, look. We know that the friend zone isn't a real thing. But damn, these tales of unrequited love and rejection are pretty damn entertaining nonetheless. 

Listen, we know the friend zone isn't real, but these woeful accounts of unrequited love are pretty damn entertaining. We just hope it didn't hurt too much.
