One of the most painful realities in No More Mr. Nice Guy is that "being too nice" kills sexual desire. Women do not want to have sex with a child or a servant. When you constantly clean the house, chase her for approval, and put her needs 100% ahead of your own, you create a parent-child dynamic.
Find a physical outlet. Lift heavy weights. Take a martial arts class. Scream into a pillow. Write a "rage letter" you never send. You must prove to your nervous system that you can handle intensity without exploding. Only then can you be assertive without being abusive .
Nice Guys avoid fear. Glover suggests doing the opposite.
Set a boundary. The next time someone asks for a favor you don't have time for, say: "I can't help you with that right now." No excuse. No lie. Just "no."
