A lot of people mistake kindness for weakness. If you’re reading this and you happen to be a nice person, NEVER change who you are. Screw the world. The right people will come into your life and appreciate you.
For my fellas: If she doesn’t give you a chance cause you’re a “nice guy” then it’s her loss. Ever wonder why so many women get their hearts broken and then complain that men are dogs!? It’s coz you ditched the guy who genuinely wanted to treat you right !
It’s not rocket science. 🤦🏽‍♂️

This man is right, being too nice doesn’t get you anywhere.

[Nevermore]

I think it's the opposite nowadays, a lot of people acting "tough" are the ones that are insecure because they're afraid of being seen as "nice" because they're scared of being taken advantage of or afraid of being hurt.

People just want well rounded, emotionally healthy, self aware partners.

I think it’s more about not seeming desperate opposed to being either nice or “mean”. It’s not so black and white. If you truly focus on yourself and understand that being with this person isn’t going to give you happiness, and that you find happiness within, suddenly you seem less desperate, less insecure, more confident and grounded

[Sam-bykk]

The word "nice" is so poorly and commonly used in this man-to-woman context. It's not about being nice, it's about whether you are trying to be kind as a method of appeasement or conversely, nonchalant strength. If someone doesn't like another being kind to them, they probably have some attachment issues to figure out. It roughly goes like this: "I don't respect or like myself that much, so why does he? Ew. I don't like him if he likes me because if I don't like me and he does, then he must be even worse than I am".

Guys, there is a difference between being kind and being the “nice guy” Kindness is genuine and expects nothing in return but the nice guy is manipulative and expects something in return.

[nwatson]

I believe it’s not about being nice. Everyone should be kind but have good boundaries. If you have boundaries then you will push back and you won’t feel like you have to appease the other person all the time!

I can already picture the sigma meme
“Don’t be nice, kill your insecurity”

[rahulb]

You mean to say Soft guy. I don't understand Why Western people believe that being Nice man is some sort of weakness of man ? Be nice to people till they are nice to you, be a rough with people who are rough with you. Thats it

[perfumediscoverychannel]

Interesting that this was suggested. I want and will be who I am not how women or men want me to be. I deeply dont care.

This actually works for both genders. I was a very insecure person but I knew that it made me feel repulsed when men acted overly insecure, so when I met my boyfriend I really liked him and didn't want to come off as insecure. I chose to fight those thoughts and we were constantly around girls that were better looking than me and my boyfriend is a very attractive man and would get hit on a lot. But because I acted confident and I just enjoyed spending time with him he always gave me way more attention than everyone else. Made me his girlfriend after three weeks of meeting him and we've been together eight years now. Now we both know each other's insecurities very well but we are also aware that's not an attractive quality to have.

People are just overthinking and being too self centered

[Txig]

Guys, just be yourself and do whatever the fuck you want, even if it includes being nice. Now that’s true confidence. Don’t make it about them, do what you want to do.

[queenmia]

This dude I was talking to called me “too nice” and even though he meant it in a bad way I took it as a compliment cause I’d rather be nice and caring instead of mean and hurtful

[mohalemokoetje]

Just be yourself, no mind games and be considerate at all times. Do to another person what you would like them to do to you!

[AmritGrewal]

He says while pretending to be "understanding". Most of us, men, have responsibilities and think of these petty mind-games as being beneath us.

Kindness =/= weakness
If she cannot comprehend that, then she doesn't deserve my time.

[thinkusaarabic]

If someone is acting too nice means he’s hiding something but if someone’s nature is nice I think he’s stronger since it’s so hard to be really nice 😊

[tjhall]

I now know that my morals aren’t up to date. These modern day people really take kindness for weakness smh

[pnpdynamic]

I wonder how many of these "dating gurus" are actually in healthy relationships. Very few. Because they are playing games instead of telling folks to just be themselves.
