In this podcast, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman chats with Mark Manson, the author of "Models: Attract Women Through Honesty," about the intricacies of attraction and dating. Manson critiques the "nice guy" stereotype, arguing that neediness—often rooted in valuing others' opinions over one's own—can be off-putting. He highlights the importance of honesty and self-respect in fostering genuine attraction, encouraging clear communication of intentions and embracing rejection as a normal part of dating. Their conversation explores different "nice guy" archetypes, the significance of self-awareness, and how honesty plays a vital role in building relationships.
