Most men will admit they don't fully understand women, and for those struggling to find a partner, this lack of understanding often leads to behaviours like seeking validation, second-guessing, and people-pleasing. Today's guest would attribute these symptoms to 'Nice Guy Syndrome'. If this sounds like you, or somebody you care about I'd recommend sticking around for today's episode. My guest today is Dr Robert Glover, he's the author of the bestselling book 'No More Mr Nice Guy', which has sold over one-million copies worldwide. He's also a licensed therapist, coach, speaker & educator. Robert and I dig into a range of topics including: How to diagnose a nice guy How being a nice guy affects relationships How to recover from "Nice Guy Syndrome" and establish healthy boundaries. Why trying to please women often backfires for men. The differences between stated and revealed sexual turn-ons How masculinity and femininity influence relationship dynamics. Why women are often drawn to "bad boys" over "nice guys." How to understand women better Why modern dating can be challenging due to evolving gender roles. Why having children isn’t necessarily the be-all and end-all Please note that Dr Robert’s audience is primarily straight men such as myself and you may not agree with everything he has to say, but I encourage you to keep an open mind and take from it what you can. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
