A self-aware nice guy!
Don't be so hard on yourself. The negative self talk really doesn't help. You know this already, but probably don't know how to stop it.
Some framing that might help: you are human. You're allowed to make mistakes. Just because you're not perfect doesn't mean you are worthless. Your flaws are much smaller than you make them out to be, and flaws themselves are just areas you can improve in if you put your mind to it. You have a good mind, so use it to build yourself up and be the best version of yourself. No one else is watching you, really, apart from the guy looking back at you in the mirror.
Sincerely, a recovered NiceGuy(TM)
Oh I know. My point is the reason I'm single is because I don't make a move on women who are or could be interested in me. It's never been women's fault I'm single.
But but I’ve put soooo many nice coins into the female machine! When do I get a sex out?
This is shit even for a shitpost
Wow this is pathetic.
The greatest suffering in life, that anyone can experience no matter who they are, is unfulfilled expectations. Girl isn't interested in you, Weather isn't what you want. Boss didn't give you a rise etc.
According to Buddhism solution is to stop expecting things of others, of life, of reality. You can only control yourself, expect of yourself if you must.
Perhaps a bit of an exotic philosophy, but I think it applies here nicely.
Buddha obviously didn't know about waterboarding
I expect nothing and am still disappointed. What does Buddha say about that?
Accept and surrender to reality. This doesn't mean to give up; it means to simply understand that reality doesn't care how upset or disappointed you are with it, that's your burden alone (plus anyone else you push that burden on to). Don't worry about what reality should be like, see it for what it is and consider how you can affect it, and you will be less burdened.

this about sums it up
Hey, im not the one self-immolating...
How tf are you achieving this?
Being alive and aware of things for over 40 years.
Great, you’re nice. Congratz on doing the absolute bare minimum.
Any hobbies she’s interested in as well? Or interesting hobbies in general? Any skill you have other than dislocating your shoulder, like changing the breaks on your car? Are you a Sub and want a Dom but she’s a Sub as well? Are you radiating any sexual energy? Heck some women find tax evasion as sexy as a sixpack.
Nice is the bare minimum. I don't know why people think its more valuable.
It's also completely useless if self-assessed. Literally everybody thinks they're nice, it takes a third party to verify that claim.
"nice" is too vague, and being nice isn't even close to the bare minimum
I'm a nice guy, I treat women well by not getting into their lives, and dragging them down.
maybe you should be more proactive and grab women and drag them up.
grab 'em by the pussy you say?
Not gonna downvote because the pun was there for the taking and for the bravery and obviously because I'm a nice guy (self-assessed)
If a guy says "you fucking bitch" because the girl is not with him he's not a nice guy
That’s why they are called "Nice Guy™"
Give it one more thought and you'll get the joke
"freindzone" is a self-inflicted wound. Nobody can make you cower in the corner waiting for your "opportunity". Nobody made you look at friendship with the opposite sex as something that must be suffered so as to be due a reward.
friendzone isn't a thing. it's either a friend or not. if it is a friendship that someone are maintaining with hopes of future sex, then it isn't a real relationship, it's a lie they are maintaining for their own delusions. manipulative and shitty.
Get over it and do drugs with the rest of us.
CATS ARE NOT NICE GUYS
Pretty Guy: Does basically nothing and women fall all over him
Nice Guy: Becomes a phrenologist in response
Always worth remembering that the OG Incel was a woman blogging about how desperate she was to lose her virginity.
Lonely guys always make everything about themselves, even the term incel.
Fuck this incel nonsense.
Am ugly and fat, but I'm a nice person, respect everyone (who deserves respect), and I expect everything I do to be non transactional.
I help people because they need help and I can help.
results? built a friend's group I adore (I literally admire them and sometimes I am still in disbelief that I'm their friend), and have women hit on me, also have a poly thing going on. And I have never had so much and such good sex.
"Nice" means being a good person, if you are nice to be transactional, then that isn't nice, that's a red flag... and a good thing women stay away from you.
yes, women can also be transactional, being an asshole is intersectional. but that is a slightly different tangent.
Also, I loathe that because bullshit like this the bar is so painfully low. It genuinely hurts me when a woman gives me a compliment that only reveals how fucking low the bar is. and it is so fucking low. that if you can't pass it, then that's on you.
if you want constructive advice, accept that no relationship is transactional. be proactive in socializing, not like going to bars to pick people up, but join active groups for your interests. D&D, political action groups, Mutual aids... attend regularly and before you know it you'll have a healthy diverse friend group. assume no one is interested in you as a partner unless there's a bit of flirting. Even if you don't find a partner in those groups, those people have their own groups. and if they see you as a good person they will recommend you to their single friends. But this is not a guide to get laid. If you do all of this to get laid, you are a horrible person. and hopefully, they will sense it and not put anyone at risk. you do that because you love to [chosen group activity], and want to make friendships. Also, consent means they can say no whenever they want, even after a couple dates and you have to be mature and be like "that's ok, I wish you well' and not like "That B[slur]".
If you are a basement dwelling incel with severe depression from loneliness and severe loniless from depression, you can crawl out of that depression by doing stuff. Joining mutual aids really did that for me, little by little I built a community for myself, and I'm now happy (was chronically depressed for so long I forgot what positive feelings feel like).
I don't disagree with your post but I'm pretty sure the joke in the meme is the one calling themselves a nice guy is actually an asshole. That's revealed in the "stop ignoring my DMs" ending. So it's not actually a pro "nice guy" meme. Which you probably got, but maybe missed it?
This was my reading too. I didn't take it seriously, it's just a kinda funny joke, I thought. Especially given that I've met a lot of people like that, it hits home. Now I'm kinda worried I'm misreading it though..

Set aside the incel stuff, if getting out of a depression would be that simple, not nearly as many people would have it. You can be around people and still be lonely. If that worked for you, wonderful. Doesn't mean it works for everyone. People can get a kind of burn out if they're helping people and expect nothing in return, spend a lot of energy on those people, but when they themselves need it, no one is there for them. It can be absolutely exhausting and can fuck you up as a person. I've seen it happen and it's happened to me as well.
I never understood this specific example. Why are people so obsessed with someone that's already spoken for? It shows such a lack of respect for boundaries.
I've run into the type of guy that thinks it's alright to harass someone because they're in a relationship with someone they're interested in, and what makes me sad is how so many see nothing wrong with it.
They're bad with women and they find one that is nice to them or just talks to them or whatever, then they think they finally have a shot and get fixated on her but then find out she has a boyfriend. Since she's THE ONE the other guy must be an asshole and they should break up.
"Nice" guy, that's a massive incel red flag.
Nah, I know what nice guys are. I just more so meant I didn't understand these people.
I don't know about others, but I tend to look at how someone treats others as insight on how they'll treat me. If someone is openly malicious to other people for such petty reasons then they'll treat you the same way.
How dare this mindless automaton behave like a real person!
