Why don’t women 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.

Why does this belief exist? Does it really hold its weight in water? Get ready to have your assumptions turned upside down!

I get a decent amount of nice guys telling me that the real issue in dating is that the world hates “nice guys”. They’ve tried being emotionally present, showering their partners with gifts, paying and planning for every day, and telling her how gorgeous she looks, but they still end up feeling disappointed and frustrated. They blame the dating universe for brainwashing them into thinking that people love jerks. They consistently ask if I can teach them how to be a bad boy and more alpha.

No fellas. You’re looking at this completely wrong.

Emotional Standards are still a thing.

There’s a double standard when it comes to emotional sensitivity. Women are expected to be “nice,” and being “nice” can boost their dating prospects…
