The Nice Guy vs The Kind Man, with April
Manage episode 480010836 series 3600599
๐ The alternative to being a Nice Guyโข is often considered to be a Bad Boy ๐จโ๐ค Because many people think that the problem is being a good person. And, sure, some people might be attracted to that... in the short term. But if you're looking to build a healthy and loving relationship, you may want to look into becoming a Kind Person, instead ๐
๐ค In this episode, April returns to share what made her fall for her husband Scott. It wasn't his wealth (he lived in an RV), or being a nerd (he watched Star Trek and played video games), or his physique (we'll just believe her with that). It was him being "the kindest man she'd ever known." ๐
๐ค What sometimes goes wrong with Nice Guysโข is giving with unspoken (and not agreed upon) expectations (a.k.a. manipulation) and a lack of boundaries. Some examples could be giving gifts or doing favors for someone you don't have a close relationship with, often at the expense of your own problems, expecting them to like you or do something for/with you ๐
โ If you feel like you've been rejected for being a Nice Guyโข and you have to turn into a Bad Boy, give this episode a listen. You'll find many ways to become more attractive as a kind, good, and generous person ๐ช
