How to Avoid Being a “Nice Guy”
In both the seduction community and the Manosphere, the term “beta male” is the diametrical opposite of the “alpha male”. He is also a contagious meme in the popular culture, but he is, contrary to the “alpha male”, usually referred to by folk terminology.
He is known as a “nice guy”.

As discussed in the previous article about “alpha male” and “sigma male” strategies, the term “beta male” is used in an imprecise way in the seduction community and the Manosphere, and I will thus not use it in the rest of this article. However, the almost synonymous concept of a “nice guy” is used in a rather consistent sense in contemporary society and it thus makes sense to discuss what characterizes him.
While there is much advice around on how socially dominant men behave and how to become more socially dominant, there is the problem that the advice usually only attempts to fix superficial behavior patterns of such “nice guys” and does not treat the underlying psychological conditionings that created the “nice guy” in the first place.
This is problematic because it causes incongruence, usually in the form of dominant behavior patterns that are in conflict with the underlying “nice guy” belief system.
There is also an incongruence problem in that a player lifestyle will generate reference experiences that are often deemed as negative in the “nice guy’s” belief system. This article will discuss how the “nice guy” has been conditioned and how the “nice guy” can recondition himself on multiple levels in order to become more socially successful. But first we will discuss why all these “nice guys” are around in the first place.
              



I covered one
side of the "your responsibilities in your
relationship" spectrum in "


We’ve discussed why if the aim is to sleep with or even
get into
relationships with women, you’re normally better off cultivating the
image of “great potential lover” rather than the image of “great
potential boyfriend” that the majority of men compete on (or, even
worse, “great potential friend”) a number of times here already.
Ah,
cougars. Still a category of woman that every man longs to experience
at least once in his life. Every man has a different reason for why he
would like to be with one, maybe it’s because their girlfriend had a
hot mom when they were younger, perhaps it is due to the fact that they
had a really attractive teacher growing up, but, one way or another,
there is definitely a certain allure to having sex with an older woman.
If you want a shortcut for understanding women instead
of ripping
your hair out at the roots because women don’t make any sense, think
about a woman this way: 

It’s
forever been the mark of the man who’s reached the highest
pinnacle of skill with women: a comfort, ease, and naturalness with
them that few other men possess.
