On a recent solo episode of the Men's Therapy Podcast, host Marc Azoulay brings a fresh perspective to an age-old dilemma. Why being a "nice guy" often fails in love and relationships. Marc describes himself as a "recovering nice guy". He uses his clinical expertise and personal experiences to explain the complex emotional traps that many men fall into. Especially when trying to win affection through passivity and people-pleasing.
"Nice Guy Syndrome is essentially the male form of people-pleasing," Marc explains. "It's the belief that if you give people everything they want, they'll reward you with love, success, or approval." He dives deep into the emotional costs of this approach. Marc shows how it disconnects men from their true selves. It undermines their masculine energy and ultimately sabotages their romantic lives.
Marc introduces listeners to the subtle but crucial ways men can shift from being passive to being authentic. He focuses on being confident and connected. He offers transformative relationship advice that men in their 20s to 50s can immediately put into action.
