(80,708 posts)okay, as it is apparently okay- necessary, even- to mock and slam the guys who claim to be "nice guys of OK cupid"?
One wonders (this isn't directed at you, Skip, more in response to the alert)
Would there be huffy protestations that "no one is entitled to demand a relationship with a man who prefers thin women?" "No one is entitled to have other people like them, even though they're overweight?"
There are lots of people, unhappy in their relationships or lack thereof, who complain about the expectations of the opposite (or same, as the case may be) gender. I'm sure a blog where overweight women complain about the societal conspiracy to convince all the uninterested potential male partners that being, say, 50 lbs overweight is unattractive- I suspect that, unlike the "nice guysTM of Ok Cupid", that would be fine.
So whether or not these "nice guysTM" come off as pathetic, it's just as legitimate for them to complain as it would be for overweight women to demand 'fat acceptance'.
Complaining is a fine American Tradition. It's what many people like to do with their time, apparently, as evidenced by some of the alerts DU gets.
