Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people

I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I've been living under a rock. Is this about "incels" or this sigma thing?

Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren't nice!

Being a nice person isn't bad but "nice guy" is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they're attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They'll often talk about how nice they are.

Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.

This, and, speaking for myself, I once thought that's literally how you attract someone because that's what my mom taught me. "be nice to women, find a nice girl, ???, marriage." in that order. But I was nice to everyone, not just people I liked.

The one time I ever talked about how nice I thought I was, was when I was 18 and the girl I liked called me creepy when I was being nice to her all the time showering her with compliments and ttying to hang out with her. I went on this little rant, out of frustration, on FB in a status update about how women were bitches for not liking me and calling me creepy when I've just been trying to he nice to them. Yeah, at that point, that status update wasn't exaclty being nice to anyone.

Actually that was probably when I took a look at myself and realized just being nice isn't gonna cut it, and my mom's advice was shit. THEEEEEN, a few years later I heard about Nice Guys™

It's okay I'm now 32 and I have seen the light, it's just took me until a couple years ago to figure it all out
