My best friend is a nice guy. Like, literally, he is the nicest person to ever exist. There is not a single mean bone in his body. He is automatically what I think of when I hear the term "nice guy," so whenever I see people complaining about them I can't help but think "what the hell is wrong with you? You must know nothing but absolute douchebags."

(Yes, I'm aware of the other meaning, but it's still hard for me to divorce my automatic reaction from what certain people say a phrase means).

Personally, I think this is a good thing, and things would be a lot simpler if people would just say what they mean instead of co-opting words that don't mean what they mean to say. I mean, I kind of get how it's appealing to have *~a lingo~* that makes you* feel like you're in some sort of elite group, but really...it's just kind of dumb.

*General "you," of course.

Yeah, I think it would help a lot if the phrase was always "self-described nice guys" or "passive-aggressive guys" or something that was actually descriptive. The Nice Guy descriptor doesn't really resonate properly unless you're seeing it in the context of one of those crazy craigslist things that are all "IM A NICE GUY WHO ONLY DATES DD GIRLS W GOOD COOKING SKILLZ WHO LAUGH AT MY JOKES".

TV Tropes' version of the Nice Guy character is Entitled To Have You, so I think "Entitled Nice Guy" would be a much better term imo because it differentiates from "guys who are nice" for people who have never heard the term before and is actually descriptive.

You know... this actually. This is the first time on here I've actually seen entittled suggested for general use for something I actually think it should be used for. So... kudos to you. This is perfect.

Me too- been best friends with the same guy for the last two decades/since first grade and I wouldn't categorize him as anything other than a genuinely nice guy.
