> There are nice guys and then there are Nice Guys. The latter assume that they are entitled to get a girlfriend merely because they are nice, and become confused and/or angry when their mission of befriending a woman and doing favors for her doesn’t make her panties fall off.

Exactly, and the book is basically calling out those guys on their BS, telling them to stop that behavior, examine where it came from, etc. Though I would say many “Nice Guys” actually have GFs/Wives but the same stuff applies.

I’m sorry but every time I see this thread title, I start thinkin’ of Alice Cooper.
