Dr. Robert Glover: Why Nice Guys Finish Last (And What Women Really Want Instead)

Ever wonder why the "nice guys" often finish last in love and life? What if everything we've been taught about being likable is actually sabotaging our relationships and success?
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I sit down with Dr. Robert Glover to discuss the hidden psychology behind "nice guy syndrome" – and why it's not actually nice at all.

We explore how people-pleasing becomes a manipulative strategy and why women aren't attracted to overly accommodating men. We also discuss why vulnerability with other men is crucial for growth and practical strategies for becoming authentically confident instead of just "nice."

Dr. Robert Glover is a licensed marriage and family therapist, bestselling author of "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and founder of men's development programs worldwide. For over 25 years, he's helped thousands of men break free from people-pleasing patterns to become integrated, authentic leaders in their relationships and careers.
