“I should go ask her about this thing so I talk to her..
Uhh.. nah that’d be kinda creepy. I should just ask the person sitting next to me. Also that guy sitting next to her and talking to her might be her boyfriend.”

What women really want in a man?
The simple answer to the question above…confidence.
Yes, the elusive quality that every woman says they’re looking for in a man. Guys think that it equates to being aloof, emotionally distant, and kind of an asshole – but those are just insecurities posing as confidence.

The Daily Man-Up: Why Nice Guys Should Finish Last
(photo: @andriklangfield)
Let’s end this whole “nice guys” myth once and for all…
The term “nice guy” has been thrown around in popular culture a lot lately. A quote unquote “nice guy” is actually a first class manipulator.
Women don’t have an aversion to truly nice guys… they have an aversion to passive, manipulative liars (just like – surprise, surprise – all humans do!).
People respond positively to others that have a strong sense of identity, solid morals, and strong personal boundaries (all things in which “nice guys” are lacking).
Nice Guys, Jerks, And Strong-Minded Men
One of the nice guys’ favourite fall back arguments is that “Women say that they want a nice guy, but what they actually want is a jerk.”
Oh, my friend, if only it were that simple. Kidding! It’s even simpler than that.

The Daily Man-Up: Nice Guys Don’t Have To Finish Last

In high school I was your typical nice guy, got along with everyone, had a bunch of friends but I was so shy when it came to women. I could have a conversation with a girl who I thought was pretty but in the end that conversation wound up me being very neutral / agreeable and even if I didn’t agree with them I never expressed my opinion for the fear of them being put off or offended. When a girl i liked said something like "Oh I forgot to get a fork when I got lunch", I would be the first person to be like "Oh ill go grab you one" or if she forgot her home work "Oh you can copy off mine". Basically I did things to help her and even though it wasn’t a conscious decision, I was pretty much at her becking call. I thought these were actions that would make her like me. Unfortunately 98% of the time I never got the girl, she would always wind up dating a guy who wasn’t 1/2 as nice as I was to her.

The Daily Man-Up: A Definitive List Of Signs That A Girl Is Interested In You

These are helpful things to look for when trying to gauge attraction.
1. If you’re talking to a cashier and she tells you for any reason when she gets off work, she wants you to come back.
2. If a girl gives you her number, on some level she is interested. Meaning she gives it to you without you prompting her first, though often if she gives it to you after you ask her it still means she’s interested* If a girl repeatedly mentions how she wishes she had a nice guy to date, she is interested.
3. If a girl asks about your relationship status out of the blue, she is interested.

The Daily Man-Up: Are You A Man With True Masculinity Or Are You A “Nice Guy?”
(photo: @ahmed_rizkhaan)
Are you a man with true masculinity or are you a “nice guy?”
For most of my life, I have been the “nice guy.”
Growing up, I was taught to believe I have to be “nice” so others will be “nice” to me and I will get what I want in return.
Secretly I was doing “nice” things for people because I wanted something in return. Driven by the covert contract, I did everything to please others hoping to get what I want.
Not having any boundaries and self-respect for myself, I allowed others to take advantage of me.
They behaved that way because I was training them to act that way.
Most times I wouldn’t get what I want. As a result, I would feel resentful and bitter.

“Where do you want to eat?”
“I don’t know where do you want to go?”
“I really don’t care at all, you choose.”
Does this conversation sound familiar? There’s nothing more frustrating to girls than a guy who can’t make up his mind.
Women love a man who can lead. A man who takes charge of things and is strong yet respectful. Don’t believe it? Look at nearly every romance novel written in the last 50 years. I’m not talking about being a control-freak here, but rather a man who is confident with himself and his choices. Women are attracted to a guy who knows what he wants, is honest about his passions, and is willing to make the tough decisions when needed.
