E134: Dr Robert Glover - No More Mr Nice Glover

"A nice man is not a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has it under voluntary control." - Jordan Peterson

There's a version of a man known as a 'nice guy'. It's more of a consequence of our times than it is a man who's genuinely nice. What does being nice mean anyway? When a woman calls you nice, you know she feels no attraction to you. An authentic man is a good man who's kindness (not niceness) is always available but the same man intimidates lesser men with his presence and readiness to take action, regardless of circumstances. And for that same reason, women are attracted to him. That's putting it in simple terms. For the sake of this conversation, what it boils down to is that a 'nice man' is an illusion or concept that doesn't hold ground in reality and prevents a man from fulfilling himself, his partner, and his responsibilities to family and community.

Dr. Robert Glover is a man who's seen both sides. Being raised to be a nice guy, he gradually learned that hidden in that niceness was the source of many problems he had in relationships and other aspects of life. Through his troubles he found his way to men's groups where he started to discover where the nice guy phenomenon comes from, why so many men suffer from it, why it doesn't work, and most importantly, how to do it differently.

One of the main takeaways is the need for good men to take responsibility for younger generations by creating opportunities for them to be initiated into the world of masculinity.

Robert's knowledge and experience has been captured in his seminal book, No More Mr. Nice Guy. You can find it on Amazon.
