93TheHitStick Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Seriously do you? Do you like the kind of guys who comment on your facebook telling you how beautiful you are. OR that you are a 10/10. Or the guys who will do anything for you. That you can walk all over and they will keep coming back? Basically the dudes who think its there job in life to boost your ego? Do you like that in a guy?
misssmartypants Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Honestly, its nice for a while but to me, it gets old. I'm a real person, I know I'm not perfect all the time, so if someone is always telling me I am, I feel like they aren't being genuine and are just telling me what I want to hear. As to doing things for me - again, its nice, but I personally don't want a guy who thinks I'm helpless and can't handle anything. And that's the message you send when you do too much for a person. Which is why you are so bitter about women using you and taking advantage of you.
Saxis Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 I think you have your definition of "White Knight" completely f*cked up...
Jono85 Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 everything in moderation young buck. every girl wants SOME of that. but it really loses it's meaning and effectiveness if you're saturating her with that crap. if someone told you they loved you 5 times a day, that your handsome/beautiful 5 times a day, that you're the best person in the world 5 times a day...it will lose it's specialness FAST.
Author 93TheHitStick Posted July 8, 2011 Author Posted July 8, 2011 Is 10/10 some kind of motor oil? So what you think you are funny? You aren't. You know what a 10 is. And if you don't then find out and come back. I think you have your definition of "White Knight" completely f*cked up... White Knight- A white knight is defined as a male that treats woman as goddesses and does nothing but shower then in compliments on how wonderful and beautiful and special they are. Maybe be used as a noun or a verb. Brah, if you keep white knighting every girl you meet, you'll never get as action. My definition of a white knight. You might have a different definition but answer the question as if ^^ that is the definition. Thank you.

You might have a different definition but answer the question as if ^^ that is the definition. Thank you. I would define a "white knight" as someone who, above all, commands respect, for himself and his partner. There's a difference between complimenting a woman and assigning her a number as a comparison to other women. What you're describing is a door mat with "pussy on a pedestal" syndrome...
cerridwen Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 So what you think you are funny? You aren't. You know what a 10 is. And if you don't then find out and come back. I'm back! But I'm hurt at your harsh response. Brah. I'm going to fight through the pain to answer your question. Being authentic is what's most important. Hollow compliments ring so false it's deafening. Only the most broken, abusive, insecure, and needy need a White Knight (by your definition). Steer clear!

AlexDP Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 The white knight has issues he needs to resolve. There's usually quite a bit of weird sadomasochism going on in his psyche, he wants to be punished.

I like white knights if I find them attractive.
Mutant Debutante Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I think you have your definition of "White Knight" completely f*cked up... Yeah OP is talking about doormats and kiss-asses, not white knights. A white knight would have been awesome at certain points. Actually, maybe my boyfriend is a white knight, in his own way. He's really restored my faith in men and love and all that. But I'm not into doormats and ass-kissers.
sm1tten Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I disagree with both definitions posted about what a white knight is. I think a white knight is a guy who is attracted to self-destructive women who need saving from themselves, and is willing to eff himself over in the process. The OP is describing a doormat or a complete phony, and that's not attractive to a woman who doesn't need constant validation. What saxis is describing is, I dunno, how a man should act in a relationship. For me, "white knight" is a derogatory term but I like that some people are trying to turn it into something positive. But um, yeah, I do want to be told that I'm beautiful and I do want a guy who will do anything (within reason) for me, but that's because the reciprocal is what I'm bringing to the table. I just don't need to be, nor do I want to be, put on a pedestal. It's a lonely place.

I just don't need to be, nor do I want to be, put on a pedestal. It's a lonely place. Yep, that would be my definition too. For a part I think they're built by society (although the primary relationships in the man's life play a huge role too). If you keep hearing you always have to be nice to girls, help them and care for them, because they are physically weaker, you're going to develop this disorder (because that's what it is). These guys are effed over again and again by women who appear helpless, but actually take advantage of him. Some do this consciously, others are just sick. In any case, the white knight needs to resolve his issues just as much as the borderline girl.
TheCoolest Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Ops definition of WK is actually correct. At least in my book it is. He isn't talking about a "knight in shining armor" He is talking about a WK from bodybuilding.com. And on BB that is the definition of WK. Don't ask me how i know that. And to op only chicks with dat dere low self esteem like WK's. Are you aware?

That's Captain Save-a-ho. Still a doormat anyway.
sm1tten Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 That's Captain Save-a-ho. Still a doormat anyway. See to me, and people that I know, those are the same thing. Either way, whatever you want to call it, OP is describing a dude with issues.
Taramere Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I disagree with both definitions posted about what a white knight is. I think a white knight is a guy who is attracted to self-destructive women who need saving from themselves, and is willing to eff himself over in the process. That's how I'd see it too. A guy who has an addiction to drama. Most likely he fluctuates between wanting to rescue the woman and wanting to exploit her. Makes me think of the people who go on peace-keeping missions and end up abusing the people they're supposed to protect. Or people who go into the caring professions in a bid to fix other people (and themselves in the process)...then end up becoming abusive because they're not sufficiently sorted to care for themselves properly - let alone anybody else. Ops definition of WK is actually correct. At least in my book it is. He isn't talking about a "knight in shining armor" He is talking about a WK from bodybuilding.com. And on BB that is the definition of WK. Don't ask me how i know that. I can imagine that's a forum where quite a few of the posters are using steroids. I haven't actually considered this before, but I wonder how much the increased use of steroids in our society is having an impact on male mental health and relationships between men and women generally. Although I prefer the occasional genuine compliment to a whole load of gushingly effusive ones, I think the White Knight would be a better prospect than the steroid guzzlers who put together this insulting definition to apply to those outside the brahship. If the main problem is that a man lacks confidence and is a bit nervous/gushing around women, that is probably something that would probably sort itself out over the course of having a healthy relationship with a woman. There are lots of people going about who have far less fixable problems.

WKs are being WKs (by your definition) are only doing so for their own purposes and are easy to spot. Not attractive.
Mutant Debutante Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I thought she was funny too. Maybe OP's got the roid rage
Saxis Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I guess the way you define it is like so called white knights self titling so they don't sound as bad. Doormat just doesn't have the same ring.
OldSkool Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Back in the days of written fantasy lore, the white knight was the good knight and the black knight was the evil knight. Also beware the knight in shining armor, he spends more time polishing his armor than using it. Seek the knight in dusty, dented armor that has the patina of hard use.
Knittress Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Uh. No. A guy that showers me with compliments when knows next to nothing about me or even if I'm worthy of such attention is obviously doing it to get something. That's a con artist, not a white knight.
Janesays Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I think your definition of 'White Knight' is a little skewed. But yes, I like for my guy to compliment me (as long as it's sincere) and do nice things for me. Any woman with class would not 'walk all over' a guy who was kind to her. She would repay his kindness by being just as kind and respectful to her man. For example, my boyfriend does tell me I'm beautiful a lot and shower me with compliments. But I also tell him how handsome and sexy and awesome I think he is as well. When he does nice things to make me smile, I try to do nice things to make him smile. See, in my view, that's what relationships are about: making the person you love happy. If you can't find joy in making a loved one happy, then you have no business being in a relationship. I don't understand people who have relationships based on semi weird ideas of power struggles and "who has the upper hand." Those 'relationships' seem more about control and ego than joy and happiness to me. *shrugs
