Is This Stale Argument True!?

Women DON’T like nice guys!?

Are you tired of hearing the age-old adage that “women don’t like nice guys”? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we’re about to examine and challenge this belief!

If you’ve lived under a rock most of your life, “nice guy syndrome” is when a man believes that being nice to a woman automatically entitles him to her affection and attention. But as we all know, real life doesn’t work that way.

Being nice isn’t a personality, it’s a baseline. If your entire dating strategy is built on politeness and picking up the tab, you’re not a romantic interest — you’re a customer.

Why does this belief persist?

Why do so many self-proclaimed “nice guys” feel like they’re losing?

Because they’re confusing transactional behavior with attraction, and here’s the truth — women see right through it.

Attraction isn’t about being nice or being a jerk. It’s about being interesting, confident, and self-respecting.

So before you start asking how to “be more alpha,” ask yourself this - Are you actually compelling, or are you just expecting kindness to be a cheat code for attraction?

Nice isn’t enough — it’s kinda boring, you have to be someone worth knowing.
