This meme originates from a webcomic by Kris Wilson of Cyanide & Happiness, featuring a man loudly lamenting why women choose 'stupid jerks' while ignoring the 'nice guys.' The irony, often highlighted in edits, is that the speaker himself is behaving like the very jerk he claims to despise, or is simply blind to his own flaws. It gained massive popularity in the mid-2010s as a way to satirize the 'Nice Guy' phenomenon and the toxic logic sometimes found in dating discourse. Today, users adapt the panels to mock self-pitying behavior or to swap out the subjects for various niche community complaints, making it a versatile tool for calling out hypocrisy.
