I think this goes here

the pickup artist mentality of "do whatever you can to manipulate women into sex" is certainly rooted in the same thing as the nice guy "entitlement to sex by virtue of being nice". both mentalities are rooted in the idea that they deserve sex and it is owed to them by treating women like automatons who respond, depending on which specific class of misogynist you're talking about, to either game or niceness. I think the weird rules lawyering that goes on in this sub about "actually this isn't a nice guy, just a creepy misogynist that feels he's entitled to sex by learning the cheat code to women, which is totally different" is counterproductive and pointless lol. you're kidding yourself if you think the guy in the op hasn't gone through or won't still go through a nice guy phase.
