it's not like the 'nice guy' pool gets smaller when they GTOW.There are many women who made the mistake of marrying one of these guys and ended up stalked and dead.

Also, many women have GTOW way before these guys thought up the term. They just quietly decided not to settle for an asshole, and didn't. Men can do the same if they like. It's not new for them, either -- there's a long history of the eligible bachelor/Romeo, etc., so I'm not exactly sure what they think is so radical and new.
