Some things for us guys to keep in mind about sexism if we don't want to come off as jerks.

93. That is a ridiculous claim. He isn't being punished for being nice...

And it is stupid to assume that a woman would reject the sexual advances of a man because he's "too" nice. That just plays into the debunked idea that women are attracted to assholes.

Women with healthy psyches are attracted to men with healthy psyches. If you don't poses that, regardless of how nice you feel you're being, you're going to be turned down. And that is not a fault of the system. It is the natural byproduct of women who are seeking out men with the proper balance between ego and self-awareness.

I've met a lot of men who think they've been friend zoned because they're too nice. Every last one of them was rejected because they were either full of themselves or completely lacked self confidence. Not a single one had anything to do with women wanting alpha men (which don't exist, by the way) or assholes (which exist in spades).

The bottom line, however, is that if you persist in a friendship when you feel rejected or underappreciated, that is your fault.
