So let me get this straight ... he had a very beautiful wife, who's really into gaming and cosplaying. He cheats on her ...
The amount of salt and anger I hold for him is almost infinite. You're bloody lucky to of found such a beautiful, caring wife with hobbies that are a nerd's dream and you CHEAT ON HER?? For months?!
That's not including the photos and sick shit he's done too ... figures. I hope she finds someone to treat her wwwaaaay better than Jared ever did. My question is- how did they end up together? Not dissing on how Jared looks, but look at his wife than at him.
Just, how?
This might be the most "nice-guy" thing I've read on the internet. And I frequent r/NiceGuys whenever I need a laugh.
Are you suggesting that it would be acceptable if ProJared was attractive? Or if she was ugly? And that Jared is unworthy based on looks alone (rather than, y'know, being a massive piece of shit). Or for that matter, that her value stems from her looks and interests alone?
I doubt it. As many people above have mentioned, your comment seems more misguided than anything else. In answer to your question though, everything you've talked about is superficial. It says nothing about who she is as a human being. Nor does it say anything about Jared as a person.
On the subject of cheating, that's because, contrary to the r/NiceGuy school of thought, cheating is something people have in their personality. It's not some dark temptation everyone has to face; either you are capable of cheating or you aren't, simple as that. I'm not saying that it's a permanent personality flaw, people can learn not to be terrible, but it's just not something everybody struggles with. The myth of the flirty Chad/seductive femme fatale leading someone astray is both untrue and sexist no matter which way you cut it.
Sorry about the rant, I have to deal with nice-guy types more often then I'd like to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Jared cheated because he's a piece of shit. His wife's attractiveness and hobbies had nothing to do with it. He cheated because he thought he could get away with it and because he thought it was okay. As for how they ended up together...I dunno. Some mutual interest probably. Most people above the age of 16 don't base their relationships on looks alone, so it isn't that.
