Ep. 18 - The Nice Guy Problem

from Reclaiming the Gentle Man Hosted by Dave Lishansky

A lot of men are celebrated for being nice — “one of the good ones.” But behind closed doors, many of those same men are struggling in their romantic relationships… often with problems that trace directly back to the very niceness that’s gotten them so far in life. Because niceness is often just armor — a default setting that keeps us safe from conflict, blame, or rejection. And while it might make us seem good on the outside, it quietly sabotages the intimacy we’re craving most. In this episode of Reclaiming the Gentle Man, we explore the niceness trap and what it takes to step beyond it. Because your relationship doesn’t need another “nice guy," it needs you.
