If you're tired of thinking success in getting a girl means compromising your masculinity to be a safe nice guy, and are tired of trying to figure it out how to live with that, good news you no longer have to. Read Wild At Heart by John Eldridge.

I've never read the book, but nice and safe are boring. There's a difference between being a good guy and being a nice guy. Girls are going to be attracted to a good guy, but everyone knows nice guys finish last.

Not really sure what the difference between nice guys and good guys are, but i now know that nice guys are guys whose orbit is around women, instead of being uninhibited of orbiting around the bigger things that women are drawn to in a guy.

Too often guys think, "Well if I'm going to be something other than a super passive, safe, boring, nice, sweet, (insert more words to describe a puppy here) guy, then I have to be a tool/jerk." I've always described good guys as a guy who has the best qualities of a nice guy, such as being reliable, not trying to take advantage of women, being mature, etc. but doesn't put his masculinity in a bag and hand it to any woman who walks by.



That lines up pretty well with what you've been saying. You don't need to treat women badly, but you also don't need to be trying to win their approval with money, time, gifts, compliments, etc. Not that complimenting a woman is a bad thing, but there's a difference in me saying that I like a girl's shoes because I genuinely like her shoes and saying I like a girl's shoes because I hope that if I compliment her enough, she'll fall madly in love with me. One is genuine, while the other is manipulative.



I like what you say about making sure your life is orbiting around bigger things. We focus on what's really important, and if a girl happens to be drawn into the same orbit, then go for it, but we aren't going to leave what we're orbiting.
