The super-nice guy and the PUA are two side of the same coin. They are both manipulating women in order to get sex.
When I was younger and naive I wasn't nice because I was trying to manipulate women to sleep with them. It was because I was a genuinely good guy who wanted to meet a good girl.
Agreed.
I think this is true of most guys, actually.
Most are genuinely good guys who want to meet a good girl.
Sounds like this is a communication error between us.
You can blame it on me if you like.
We're all here to have fun and learn.
Sometimes the same words mean different things to different people.
When I say the super-nice guy and the PUA, I am talking about two different types of guys who use different tactics in order to persuade women to like them. I'm not talking about a one or the other situation. Most guys are neither.
By "super-nice guy" I am talking about the guy who uses being nice in order to try to convince girls to like him. Buying her presents, bringing her flowers, trying to impress her with fancy dates, usually when she hasn't done much in return for him and she usually hasn't brought anything to the table that will help make him happy other than her looks and the prospect of sex. It becomes pretty obvious when you see how this kind of guy acts around other guys and girls he isn't attracted to. This is the guy who feels desperate for companionship but doesn't know how to go about dating except for trying to woo the girl with niceties.
I think we've all met the super-nice guy (again, talking about a small number of guys, as defined above) who says he wants nothing more than to meet a great girl. Then watch him finally get sex from a girl who actually treats him like dirt, but because the guy is too scared to lose his sex supply, he won't drop her. Then talk to the guy later, after he has long since been out of that relationship and ask why he was with her. In hindsight it's obvious even to him, he was with her for sex, even if he didn't want to admit it to himself then.
I'm not telling guys it's morally wrong if sex is your goal with a woman. It's all good. Each man has his own choices to make in life. But I do think it will cause a lot of stress for a guy when he is dishonest with himself about his intentions with women and the real reasons for his actions.

There are plenty of nice guys uninterested in game that for any number of reasons don't pursue sex like many of us do here. Maybe they're content with monogamy or don't know anything different. Maybe they're in a social circle with a mix of girls and guys who are all legitimate friends.

Yeah, girls love to get together and laugh at all the dumb shit guys to just to get in their pants.

Fact is, girls and their girlfriends will shred apart anything a guy does, no matter who he is or what he says - IF SHE DOESN'T LIKE HIM.
Not all of the blue pill guys out there are beta orbiters whose end goal is sex. [/quote]
Not really sure what you're talking about with the blue pill, beta orbiter stuff.
I agree with the part of what you said that I understood.
There are lots of nice, well-adjusted guys with really great girls. Guys who do everything against what the PUA gurus teach and live their lives with a really great woman who they are really into, who is really into them. Guys who never think about this strange alpha/beta paradigm that seems to be so popular. They simply live their lives, as men, without concern about whether they are better or worse than other guys, enjoy their time with women who make them happy, accepting the fact that some girls like them, some girls don't. Talk to lots of girls and you'll find the kind of girl who matches what you want.
The super-nice guy who uses being nice as a manipulation tactic isn't a large number of guys. But, if guys on here read this, and recognize it in themselves, then maybe it was helpful to point it out.
I don't doubt their or your intentions. Most guys simply want to live a happy, honest life, maybe with one girl, maybe with many. If they want something else, that's all cool too. It's up to each person.

Many girls often make false assumptions and act on their cruel, innate nature... the end result: Guys like Roosh, myself, or anyone else who turned to game because they finished last as the nice guy (not just regarding sex with women). Girls will tear apart anyone for amusement, even if they like them. Why? Because they don't know how to keep their damn mouths shut. Gossip reigns supreme.

Girls rip guys apart because those guys keep going after girls who don't like them, ignoring all the (obvious) signals that she isn't interested.

Until I was about 25, none of those signals were obvious. Have you forgotten what it's like being a young man? Personally, I think you might be a bit touch. I understand you think you're on to some "higher quality game" plateau but all you're really doing here is alienating everyone.
Valid point.
I can see how it looks this way.
About you not realizing those signals until about 25 -
I'm willing to bet, that as you got more first-hand experience, your awareness of women, yourself, your relationships all grew, correct?
I think this is true for most anyone who goes out and gets a lot more experience with something, your awareness grows.
My intent with posting on this thread is to point out to guys that they have other options besides - just being the nice guy who finishes last or the woman-hating misogynist who is the male equivalent of a feminist/femi-nazi.
You probably don't need to hear that message, lots of guys don't. But some guys do need to know that they have options. I've seen a lot of guys get sucked down some dark, deep (not wet) holes because they get so caught up in the whole game/alpha/beta thing.
