• Nice guys behave with women basically like little boys behave with their moms. It is a mommy-I-will-be-a-good-boy routine. It may be more or less sincere, or it may be emotionally manipulative for sex, the same way little boys manipulate their moms to buy them toys: by being a shining example of cute goodness and helpfulness.

  • When women seek alphas, they seek someone like their dad. Not an asshole, but authorative, pack leader, decision maker, independent, not taking shit from anyone, protective. You can explain this biologically but I am personally more interested in the human software than the human hardware, and I think from that point of view it's simply identifying with their moms, loving the kind of man mom loves.

  • Nice guys don't get friendzoned, they get little-brother-zoned: doing the mommy-I-will-be-a-good-boy routine on them makes them treated like a kid brother. I absolutely remember this feeling from high school. Female classmates did not see us as friends, they saw us as children, as boys who need to grow up.

  • Natural alphas are the types who have grown up enough already to behave dad-like.
