Behind the Mask of Kindness: 28 Shocking Tales of Manipulation by So-Called "Nice Guys"
I was looking for a job to get through college and jokingly shared a “now hiring dancers” sign at the local [private club] on Snapchat. He went ballistic and told me he couldn’t be with a girl who had no respect for herself. We weren’t even dating, but he “broke up” with me on my birthday.
I met this dude who worked at the local supermarket because he kinda knew my friend. He was legitimately nice. He was overweight, but had great skin and hair. Not my type, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a hot girlfriend or whatever. He was a little nerdy and shy but pretty cool regardless.
I friended him on Facebook since we had a lot of mutual friends. I had just seen an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (before I knew what Bronies were) and he was a *little* too excited. He messaged me with all of these facts about the show and how most episodes were good but a few were a “little girlie”. I said that’s fine since it’s a show for little girls and he got pretty mad. Strike one.
Strikes two and three were his constant whiny posts about “females” ignoring him for no reason. Going on and on about how the [attractive], slim, big-breasted redhead didn’t give him her number. He even had his friend make this long post about how awful we all were for not hooking him up with our single female friends.
The real kicker? Our mutual friend had a crush on him and he totally blew her off. She’s a pretty Italian girl with gorgeous hair and a perfect a*s. She’s also equally as nerdy as him, and they had the same nerdy interests. When she asked him out, he said they should just be friends.
I couldn’t believe it. Dude lives with his parents, work at a grocery store, is a Brony, and he turns down a hot nerdy girl because she doesn’t look like an Anime character or The Little Mermaid.
I worked at a Harley Davidson dealership for around 3 years during college— so keep in mind I was around 19 or 20 at that time. We had a bundle of “regular” customers that would come in a few times a week to eat the free popcorn and drink the free hot chocolate that we kept in our customer lounge. Most of these guys were super sweet retirees that we got to know (and love) over the years, but there was one in particular that gave us the absolute creeps.
This man was in his mid-fifties and never married with no children. He had LOTS of free time and began visiting very regularly and would noticeably gawk at our ladies on staff. He came in to our shop alone one day and seemed nice enough, so he and I engaged in ~10 minutes of casual conversation and it came up that I really loved football (Pittsburgh Steelers in particular).
The following week, he started showing up nearly every single day with gifts for me. They started small with a football keychain and a coffee mug, then progressed to a sweatshirt and a license plate holder for my car. I would kindly refuse the gifts which would set him storming away into a silent, embarrassed rage. It got to the point that if we saw his bike pulling in to our parking lot, my coworkers would warn me so I could work from the back office or the shipping bay to avoid him.
He would come in and ask our staff personal questions about me like where I lived, who I was dating, and what college I was attending. It got to the point that he was popping in every single day (sometimes multiple times) in hopes to cross paths with me. Finally, I had had enough of hiding in my own workplace and decided I would confront the issue head on.
One day, I stayed in the dealership and he approached me with an envelope. It was two very expensive tickets to that Sunday’s Steelers game. I told him that I appreciated his gestures but that I would not be accepting gifts and that his advances were making me uncomfortable. He absolutely lost his s**t, and told me that I was a disgusting [jerk] and that he knew that “girls like me” got a kick out of toying with his emotions. I told him that he misread my signals and that I was just being friendly and doing my job. He literally laughed in my face in the most insane scream-y fashion and said that I was “fake” and that I wore too much makeup, I was fat, and that I was probably on d***s. (Huh?!)
As I walked away he continued to yell at me and call me a d**k tease and a s**t. It got so bad that our GM came out of his office and told him that if he didn’t leave we would call the police.
He came back a few times in the years that I worked there and finally was banned after he intentionally brushed his crotch up against one of the girls cleaning the helmet display. He was FOUL.
Broke up with a dude I was dating for a couple months. He didn’t take it well and decided to post my nudes, phone number, & address on craigslist along with a nice paragraph stating how [excited] and ready to bang I was. Woke up to 75+ texts and calls from random numbers looking to have s*x w/me.
Oh this is good. I was working as a nurse assistant in a nursing home. There was a MUCH older man that worked in the kitchen, like 30+ years older than me. He would always tell me how beautiful I looked and give me long hugs. It felt creepy but I honestly thought he was just trying to be nice in an older fatherly type way. I didn’t want to make things awkward since he worked the same shift as me so I put up with it.
One day he asked what my favorite coffee was, I told him nonchalantly thinking it was just a conversation starter. Later during my shift HE BROUGHT me that coffee. He walked to a coffee shop during his break and bought it for me. At this point I started realizing he’s being too friendly and my instincts were right. I kept refusing as he insistently shoved it at me. When I was refusing he pretended he didn’t understand what I was saying because of a language barrier, he’s from China but has lived in the states since he was a kid!! I felt so uncomfortable and was tired of trying to explain myself and have him dismiss me so I just took the coffee.
