A veritable anthem for average looking guys with nothing particularly interesting about them who are pissed off they can’t date women much more conventionally attractive than they are.

Not really a deep thinker, are you?
@Some Gal
Yeah, it can certainly be viewed in multiple ways and it looks like a lot of commenters are taking it at face value.
I did some checking and it seems like Los Angeles Magazine at least reports this as a spoof, probably partly due to the 90’s TV stars appearing on it. Found the article by googling “jaleel white dj lubel”. I can’t post links on the phone’s browser for some reason.
@NNY
Again you ignore my statement.
Watch the video. Look at my notes. Rapey comments. You have no problem with rape? You have no problem with men who want to take advantage of drunk women? They specifically say it in the video. And men that are okay with rape are entitled. They think they are entitled to a woman body.
And I don’t expect you to respond to everyone, but you aren’t responding to the statements in the comment that you responding to. You ignoring all of the things that we have a problem with: fat shaming, transphobia, rape, ect.
@eline
I would assume they are taking is as a spoof on LA, not a spoof on the Nice Guy trope.
YouTube commenters, that is. I saw a lot of people “agreeing” with the song in the comments section…
@NNY- I have a burning desire to have sex with Robert Downey Jr. I don’t see it as a flaw in Robert Downey Jr. that he does not return my burning desire, nor do I strive to find fault in everything that Robert Downey Jr. does because he won’t have sex with me. Also, I recognize there are people who aren’t Robert Downey Jr. who might find me attractive even if I don’t reciprocate.
My stupid ipod hates me. Typing is so hard on a touch screen.
(NOTFU)NNY, you’re just not very good at making a point, and you fail to understand our points. C-. Go troll elsewhere.
cloudiah, I get your point. You don’t like that he 1) made fun of women for not dating him and 2) made a music video about it and posted it on youtube.
That is not my point. Try harder.
“I just see it as he has a burning desire to have sex with the girls and he wished the girls felt the same way.”
Bullsh*t. That is not what is happening in that video and you know it. It is very obviously criticising these women for not wanting to sleep with him. It insults and demeans them, depicting them as vapid, shallow, useless bimbos.
You are just being disingenuous. Go away.
@Cloudiah- NNY totally gets your point. You don’t like it that he said certain words in English. In a particular order to convey a meaning. That’s what’s been bothering you.
@Cloudiah
NNY is purposely ignoring the point.
I said it really clearly in the comment NNY responded to and above.
NNY wants to pretend that we are clueless and the NNY is superior and our confused little minds don’t understand.
@ Melody
That would work better if he wasn’t so blatantly dim. Maybe he could go find a group of toddlers to talk down to?
aim33, That is your interpretation of it.
melody, I never said you have a “little mind” or anyone else. Maybe that is projection on your part. Thinking the worst of people are we?
Most people I’ve told the story to thought that having a roommate who really wanted to sleep with your boyfriend would probably be a pain in the ass.
Well, it would be! I also had a boyfriend-stealing friend, and it was really weird, and for obvious reasons we’re not friends anymore (I got tired of being her audience to whom nothing good could happen), but remember this is about setting a hierarchy – marking oneself as superior to one’s same-gendered peers – not about actually forming a healthy relationship with ones same sex peers.
In my experience, most belief systems which drive behavior have a stable, reliable internal logic and rational. That doesn’t mean they are healthy, or good, or even desirable; they just have an internal sense which explains most of the person’s decisions, which from a different belief system appear very “off”. One of my hobbies is figuring out those internal rationals. It’s really a cake walk with people who don’t have delusions and hallucinations; at work it is a lot more difficult!
@NNY
What do you think of men who are upset they can’t rape women?
@NNY
So, funny! You still ignore what I said straight out. STILL.
Feel free to talk down to me. Its just that I think you think we are stupid because you choose to ignore what we say.
RAPE! ENTITLEMENT! FAT SHAMING! TRANSPHOBIA!
Gonna respond this time?
@timetravellingfool 🙂
@melody It’s just rude of you to include so much content in your comments.
@CassandraSays Toddlers would make mincemeat of him.
@melody I was being sarcastic if it’s not totally obvious. You’re not rude!
@cloudiah
I thought maybe if I just used key words NNY would respond to the content.
melody, I’m not just going to give you some knee jerk reaction. Sure do I agree that rape is a horrendous crime, yes. But besides that, if you have a specific question you want to ask me (or refer me back too) then I will answer it.
Sometimes I feel like these little babies crawl into the thread crying for food, and they’ll only eat it off of a gold plated spoon.
They do always seem to think they get to set the terms of the debate.
Want to play figure out the rationale with this guy? I’m guessing something like women seem to be criticizing a man’s sexual behavior which means that they might criticize my behavior too which means that this must not be allowed to happen, and it’s very important to establish the idea that women need to cut men infinite slack because what if I need that slack some day?
