Line 245:
* Deconstructed [http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/book-2/flashing-back-part-three/ in] ''[[Shadowgirls]]'', where Jackson decides to stand up for himself instead of just being Charon's best friend, on the advice of the "jerk" Charon is seeing, named Gage, who keeps trying to manipulate her into sex. Note that when he does tell her, [http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/flashing-back-part-thirteen/ she reveals that she knew already], and uses the same manipulative techniques [http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/flashing-back-part-four/ Gage used earlier].<ref>Attempting to put the blame on the target for not wanting to do what the manipulator wants, and using "if you really loved me" ultimatums</ref> The jerk wanted sex from Charon, and Charon wanted emotional intimacy from Jack. The [[Dramatic Irony]] is, we know that Jackson ends up falling in love with, getting married to and having a child with [[Alpha Bitch]] Chrissy, even though he still loves Charon to some extent, and Charon becomes the town bicycle.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' has Eridan, who was evidently a Type 2 with Feferi, who confesses his feelings for her shortly after entering the Medium. Feferi turns him down because he's a genuinely unpleasant person, and later on Eridan [[Disproportionate Retribution|takes revenge]] by {{spoiler|killing her and blinding her boyfriend.}} Eridan [[Complete Monster|is not a very nice person]].

Line 251 ⟶ 250:
* Stalwart from ''[[Whateley Universe|Whateley Academy]]''. He's first seen declaring his true love for protagonist Fey, who then uses her powers to magically throw him across the campus quad. But Stalwart is a nice guy and keeps trying, almost to the point of becoming a [[Stalker with a Crush]]. His persistence is rewarded when he becomes the only thing that stops a superpowered ninja from raping and killing Fey... and he almost dies from doing so. Fey heals him and ends up going on a date with him.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI-ol25RFws This] ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' fan-song portrays Mario himself as one of these, while Bowser is a more open [[Stalker with a Crush]].
* ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog]]'' is about an [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] who has a crush on a girl he sees at a coin laundry but can't muster the courage to talk to. Instead, he finds himself shunted aside by his archrival Captain Hammer in the bid for her affections, and engages in increasingly [[Stalker with a Crush|stalker-like]] behavior as a result, culminating in a [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] plot that [[Goes Horribly Wrong]]. Though it's arguably subverted in that it's heavily implied Penny thought Billy was attractive and likable and probably would have willingly gone out with him instead had he ever stopped admiring her from afar and actually talked to her; he just took so long that Hammer beat him to it.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d54TiN3t5_I&NR=1 This video.] 'Nuff said.
* [http://joshishollywood.tumblr.com/post/13000603739/lizathefriendlyghost-sclez This recording]{{Dead link}} is basically someone [[MST|MST-ing]] someone taking this to 11.
* The ''Art Of Manliness'' is a website that critisizes the Dogged Nice Guy in a number of podcasts and articles, not because he's nice, but because he's often not nearly as nice as he thinks. He's often passive agressive and too insecure with himself to be honest with how he feels.
