Nice Guy Definition

  • Nice guys try to meet others' expectations to gain love and acceptance.
  • They hide perceived flaws, often needs or sexuality, to avoid negative reactions.

  • Two types of nice guys exist: 'I'm so good' (hiding shame) and 'I'm so bad' (acting out, then adopting niceness).
  • Both types share underlying insecurity and use niceness as a strategy.
