Creepy note is the reason women don't trust "nice guys"
For many women, nothing sounds more foreboding than a self-identified "good guy."
Case in point: the note discovered by Tumblr user ElfFanatic. Recently, she posted a photo of this charming little flyer she found from a "good guy" who just wants help women be "less afraid of the world."

"It hurts to see you fall," he writes."I guess we'll just have to suffer through watching you get broken over and over by the scum you think you love" (Bold and italics are his).
The flyer in full:
"The nice guy" phenomenon has been carefully deconstructed over the years, and ElfFanatic's post went viral on Twitter over the weekend.
Not every "good guy," the theory goes, has "good intentions." Just because a woman isn't interested in a man who "holds her groceries" doesn't make her some kind of pessimistic trauma victim, incapable of love (also, how hard is it to hold groceries? Step it up, bro).
Entitlement often lurks behind such small acts of kindness. Thank God we have Twitter to take it all down.

Death to all passive-aggressive notes.
