We are joined by Dr Robert Glover, author of No More Mr Guy which has sold over 2 million copies. At the heart of the nice guy is covert contracts, hidden unspoken agreements where nice guys perform nice actions with the secret expectation that the other person will automatically reciprocate with love, approval or a relationship, often leading to resentment when these assumed rewards don’t materialise because they aren’t a mind reader. It’s a form of conditional kindness disguised as selflessness often stemming from a fear of directly asking for needs, creating an unstable dynamic built on manipulation rather than genuine connection. Dr Robert Glover has changed the lives of millions with his work and we dive into it all. Expect to learn about:The symptoms of the nice guyWhat causes a ‘nice guy’ to formHow convert contracts govern the nice guyWhy the nice guy is manipulativeWhy nice guys are full of shameWhy women need emotional tension in relationshipsHow other men can help reduce shame for menWhy the integrated man is the end goalPlus so much more.
