Comment on When the nice guy
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 21 hours agoIll take things that didnt happen for 1000, Alex…
But lets role play this, and see if we can say something other than “nice” that doesnt make the person look like a fucking prick that sniffs their own farts.
“What type of guy are you?”
“I am a debonair guy!” = A prick.
“I am a winsome guy!” = A prick that will buy you lunch.
“I am a Pulchritudinous guy!” = A prick that doesnt just huff his own farts, but expects you to huff them as well directedly from his arsehole while he fucks your sister.
“I am an Amiable guy.” = Not a prick, but a push over. And you will treat him like hes a prick.
“I am a Blandishing guy!” = A prick that says nice things.
Using these words over “nice”, clouds the meaning rather than clarifying it. It tells me the person Im speaking to values impression over clarity of communication, and instead of conveying honesty, tells me they wish to project that they are superior. Its performance. Vain theatre that confuses style with substance. And ultimately tells me that the person isnt being honest about who they are or what they want from me.
Or to put it another way, if “I pride myself on possessing an innately benignant disposition. A temperament both debonair and complaisant, such that those acquainted with my congenial sensibilities frequently remark upon the winsome, even pulchritudinous, quality of my gracious interactions, which, I daresay, are nothing short of blandishing in their amiable intent.” is preferable to you than “Im a nice guy.”. Then you are fucking weird as fuck. Or should I say, “One cannot help but observe that your existential frequency oscillates at such an aberrantly non-Euclidean register of comportment that the very geometry of ordinary human temperament appears to bend, quiver, and ultimately collapse beneath the centrifugal absurdity of your personhood.”.
Ill take being direct and simple over being a performative prick any of the day of the week.

“I’ll take being direct and simple”, proceeds to overexplain point to the point of absurdity.
But also have you ever had a real conversation? What context would you be saying, “I’m a nice guy” and not be able to give any elaboration?
Also also calling yourself nice is kinda sketch anyway. Obviously you wouldn’t call yourself a dick if you weren’t one; so either you’re lying, oblivious or think the other person isn’t able to form an accurate opinion of you themselves (these aren’t exclusive). Nice is a word best used to describe someone else.

Okay, this has to be like one of the best trolls I’ve ever seen, right? Claiming to be a nice guy and then like 3 comments later calling someone else a “spoon eating cunt” is a just incredible.

Right? I actually can’t stop laughing, it’s so well done I can’t tell if it’s an intentional troll or if they are really this braindead.

Does being nice mean thats all you are? Does being nice mean you suffer dickheads? Does being nice mean that youre just a pushover, that takes peoples shit? Treat me like a cunt, I do the same to you. Its not fucking rocket science. Yet here you all are, clutching your fucking pearls, because Im pushing back against the bullying.
Who knew that your version of nice guy was a door mat…

Looks like this whole discussion is moot. Turns out, the reason Benny can’t use the word “nice” to describe themselves is because they aren’t nice. lol

It was a lot more than that. And you deserved every syllable… A syllable is a unit of spoken language, by the way.
Here, Ill explain it to you. The person I replied to said that using simple words like “nice” was lazy, and that people should use lots of big words instead. I, took issue with that, and expressed it by with malicious compliance. ie, being wildly over the top in doing what was asked. Are you getting it now? Do you see the joke yet? Do you really not get the point I was making?
