Woman shares texts with 'nice guy' who gets angry when she wants to 'just be friends.'
Is there anything worse than being platonic friends with a woman? This is obviously a trick question, there is an endless list of fates far worse than female friendship, and yet - men continue to become more enraged than the Hulk on steroids at the suggestion.
To be fair, romantic rejection is a jagged pill for anyone to swallow, and it's understandable to feel beleaguered or unready for friendship in these situations. However, feeling disappointed or needing distance is very different than emotionally abusing women who deny your advances. Sadly, the sheer amount of angry texts women receive for daring to reject men point towards a larger trend of male entitlement.
To make matters worse, a lot of said entitled men have co-opted the concept of being a "nice guy" and will turn any rejection into a rage-fueled tailspin of self-pity and verbal abuse.
In a recent post on the subreddit Nice Guys, a woman shared a series of texts with a classmate who got angry at the suggestion of friendship.
Their text exchange started out with him asking for help with a paper book cover, and quickly escalated into a date request.
