The term “nice guys” has become a popular phrase to describe men who portray themselves as kind and respectful but who often feel entitled to romantic or sexual relationships in return.
Many women have encountered these men in their dating lives, and have found themselves struggling with the decision of whether or not to give them a chance. To gain insight into this phenomenon, a Reddit user posed the question to the women of the r/AskWomen subreddit: “Women who gave ‘nice guys’ a chance, how did it work out?” The responses were varied and revealing, with some women reporting positive experiences, while others shared cautionary tales.
One common theme that emerged in the responses was the idea that “nice guys” are often not as nice as they seem. Many women reported feeling pressured or manipulated by men who claimed to be kind and respectful but who actually had ulterior motives. These men would often become possessive or jealous or would become angry or aggressive when their advances were rebuffed. Here, we have compiled the experiences of some of the women with “nice guys”.

Some women have negative experiences with men who identify as “nice guys.” They may encounter issues such as possessiveness, entitlement, and a lack of respect for boundaries. These behaviors can quickly turn toxic and lead to emotional or even physical harm.
It is important to recognize that women do not owe men a chance simply because they identify as “nice guys.” Women have the right to choose their partners based on their own preferences and standards, and should not be guilted or shamed into giving someone a chance.
