In this episode of Mindfully Masculine, Charles and Dan dive into Chapter 10 of Dating Essentials for Men by Dr. Robert Glover: "Activate Women's Basic Biological Urges."
We explore why confidence, competence, and authentic self-expression are essential for real attraction—and why just being "nice" can backfire.

You'll learn:

  • The key differences between niceness and true kindness
  • Why honesty and directness are more attractive than playing it safe
  • How confidence and competence build magnetic status
  • The dangers of the "friend zone" and why pretending not to care never works
  • Why embracing authenticity beats trying to please everyone

We also share personal stories about overcoming fear of rejection, building real-world confidence, and why living authentically—even if it turns off a few people—is the only sustainable path to connection and success.

If you've ever wondered why women seem to respond to boldness over politeness—or how to break free from the "nice guy" trap—this episode is for you.
