Nice Guys

What do you always hear about “nice guys”?

“They’re kind, considerate, and respectful.”

“They ‘go with the flow.’”

“They’ll give you the shirt off of their back.”

That’s what you hear, but that’s usually not the reality. In my experience, there’s a reason why “nice guys finish last”:

These men struggle with low self-esteem, setting boundaries, and, particularly, a fear of rejection.

“Happy wife, happy life.”

It’s a nice bumper sticker and common belief, but it seldom makes for a good relationship.

A nice guy believes in his heart that prioritizing others’ happiness and satisfying others will make HIM happier.

The mistake here is that it denigrates the overall quality of the relationship and, more often than not, leads to resentment, bitterness, or apathy.

Fight or flight?

Conflict avoidance is a behavioral pattern where individuals avoid or suppress conflicts or disagreements to avoid confrontation and maintain harmony.

It usually means suppressing your own feelings or needs so you can prioritize the needs and desires of others.

Conflict-avoidant individuals may go to great lengths to keep the peace, even at the expense of their own well-being or personal growth.

Challenge accepted!

My work with nice guys has been the most meaningful and amazing work I’ve ever done.

I’m here to help you build confidence and embrace your authentic self so you can show up in your relationships more fully and honestly.

It’ll require enough vulnerability to explore who you truly are. But you’ll be in a safe place, and my understanding personality will make it much easier.

Let’s overcome those self-limiting beliefs keeping you in those “nice guy” patterns.

Because, truthfully, your life depends on it.

People-pleasing can have negative effects on men’s health. When they constantly prioritize others’ needs and wants over their own, it can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and depression.

The constant need for approval and validation can also result in low self-esteem and self-worth.

Plus, men who are constantly people-pleasing may neglect their physical and emotional well-being, leading to a decline in overall health.

Men must prioritize their needs and establish healthy boundaries to maintain good health.
