Women Share Their Encounters With the “Nice Guys” Who Turned Out to Be Creeps

Public meltdowns: because nothing says ‘mature adult’ like a temper tantrum in the wild. Here we have a manchild in his natural habitat, mistaking friendship for a prelude to romance and then reacting to rejection like it’s a surprise plot twist in his personal soap opera.

Tears and screams are a bold strategy for sympathy, but let’s be honest, the only thing he’s winning is a one-way ticket to Nopeville. It’s a friendship, not a bond underwritten by romantic expectation. Lesson of the day: Emotional outbursts are for toddlers, not grown-ups with unrequited crushes. Keep it together, sir.
