The Nice Guy vs the Kind Man

by Alex

with April

😇 The alternative to being a Nice Guy is often considered to be a Bad Boy 👨‍🎤 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 😌

🖤 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.” 😍

🤔 What sometimes goes wrong with Nice Guys is giving with unspoken (and not agreed upon) expectations (a.k.a. manipulation) and a lack of boundaries. Some examples are giving gifts or doing favors for someone you don’t have a close relationship with, often at your own expense, hoping for them to like you or do something for/with you 🎁

❌ If you feel like you’ve been rejected for being a Nice Guy and you have to turn into a Bad Boy to find a partner, give this episode a listen. You’ll find many ways to become more attractive as a kind, good, and generous person 💪

🎧 Listen now and trade the Nice Guy for the Kind Person!
