Ever met someone who seems like the perfect gentleman—polite, considerate, always saying the “right” things—yet something just feels…off? In this episode, we’re unpacking the Nice Guy trope: what it really means, why some "nice guys" aren't as nice as they seem, and how this pattern plays out in relationships.
We’ll explore:✨ The difference between genuine kindness and transactional niceness✨ How resentment builds when “niceness” comes with expectations✨ The impact of the Nice Guy mentality on dating, self-worth, and emotional growth✨ How to spot and break free from unhealthy dynamics
If you've ever been frustrated by the “But I’m such a nice guy!” argument—or felt guilty for not being attracted to someone who checks all the "nice" boxes—this one's for you. Let’s get into it!
