Ladies, what do you wish self-proclaimed nice guys would understand?

Romantic comedies are nothing like real life, and using the tactics shown in them will only creep the object of your affections out, not win them over.

They should be treated just like fantasy movies because that's pretty much what they are.

Just a fantasy you enjoy seeing acted out for various

reasons. It's like how it's commonly accepted that adult flicks aren't real. Well, consider romantic

comedies, emotional adult movies, and treat them accordingly, please. Absolutely agreed. Do not

show up under my window at 2 a.m. Do not creep until you figure out which

hotel I'm staying at on my vacation and send miniature beanie babies that reminded you of me to the

hotel addressed to me. Do not awkwardly try to steal my clothing to put on your pillow and sleep with

because it smells like me. Do not leap between me and anyone I'm having a conversation with

to ensure that they're

not going to incapacitate me and commit the unspeakable act in the midst of a huge group of people,

and do not find out where I work and consistently leave love letters under my windshield for me

to find when I get off my shift. None of these things are acceptable or appreciated.

I'm not quoting movie sequences, folks.

I'm speaking from experience, and what these guys told me they considered romantic gestures,

although the showing up under the window and the love letter on the windshield ones are pretty 80s rom-com.

I think proclaiming yourself a nice guy is the problem in the first place.

People who are genuinely considerate and decent don't have to declare themselves honest and nice.

People know them to be so by their behavior.

Being nice, specifically as a means to impress women, as a means to an end, is not genuinely being nice.

It's kind of like the Game of Thrones, quote.
