Beyond Success ·

2022/10/20

Have you ever heard “nice guys finish last?” Imagine this: you’re super nice, know how to flirt with women, but after months of talking to an attractive woman, you get rejected. It always seems to go well until you fall in love with her, only to have it spat back in your face. Most men after years of being the “nice guy” are fed up (and rightly so.)

Vulnerable guys are ugly. That’s what women think at least. Millions of men around the world have been told to show off their vulnerable side. And when they do? Women judge them ruthlessly, making them get angry and frustrated. But it’s not because they’re vulnerable — it’s because they’re being vulnerable in the wrong way. Men feel like women don’t respect them for being vulnerable. So if being vulnerable isn’t the answer, then what is? The right way is definitely not the “redpilled” crowd or
