No More Mr. Nice Guy

Not many pieces of writing have hit me as hard as this one has. It physically affects me by how much it resonates with me and how it just absolutely hits the nail on the head.

I've finished reading up to chapter 3, and although I haven't finished the book yet, I feel like I need to talk to someone about it. I am, without a doubt, a Nice Guy, as the author puts it.

I have taken it to heart and I am currently trying really hard to change that, and follow (as much as I can) the advice given in the book.

Some of the things I have a really hard time to think through and even GET through; in the book he describes it as cognitive dissonance, which I feel is basically correct.

I've managed to kind of spring myself up mentally a bit by simply following some of the book's advice, but some of the stuff there I just can't get past.

Anyone else here have a similar story to share, or even willing to talk me over it? I honestly just feel like I need some help digesting this great book, any help would be welcome.

There are many misconceptions about /r9k/ and that is one. We consist of a diverse group of people ranging from misogynists, autists, schizophrenics, schizoids and even neurotypical people.

yeah I bet it is

the only reason anybody ever complains about being a nice guy is because they want to fug women but they can't

Actually it's a pretty straightforward book. Tells people to man up instead of scorn women. Talks about hidden expectations and role models. Only a short few polemics here and there but they're not that bad and they're not critical for the book. Good advice IMO.
