 Oh my God! Oh my daughter. This is to be honest, my name is Alex and today I am going to answer a wonderful, insightful question from one of you lovely people to the best of my non-professional ability. Let's do this. So this question comes from Luis. It's a two-parter and it starts as what can I do to stop girls from seeing me as just a friend? What kind of world are we living in? Last time I checked, I thought people didn't like jerks. It's 1033. What? What really is last? I think there's a better way to turn that around. I don't think nice guys really finish last. I think nice guys don't finish first but that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. The key is that you're finishing. Nice guys lose out for a lot of reasons but the number one reason they probably do is their competition. The bad boy. Studies have shown that when we're looking for something short-term like casual sex or some sort of hookup that we look for masculine features in a guy. We're talking a good hairline. We're talking a nice V, some abs. They're nice to look at and you want to bang them. The second question was how can I stay out of the friend zone? My friend, there's really only one answer. Be assertive. Be confident in yourself. Something that nice guys could actually pick up on from bad boys is that bad boys are assertive. They're confident. They know what they want and they're willing to ask for it. I see you're drinking one percent. Is that because you think you're fat? Because you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to. Nice guys have a tendency to use nonverbal cues to try to tell people that they like them and unfortunately people can't read your mind sweetie. So nice guys can go on for months and months and sometimes even years of liking someone and not really even doing much about it. Then when they finally tell the person that they like their friend zoned because that person feels too platonically comfortable with them. You have everything that people want in a long term partner. You're great. You're sweet. You like dates. You want to shower your girl in love and flowers and chocolate and baths. Do all that. That's fine. But you need to be direct and you need to tell that person that you like them or they will never know they're never going to know that you like them at all and they will never be able to think about liking you back is just the truth. Now there's a difference between being assertive which is just telling people what you need what you want and being aggressive which is not understanding the word no. Not everybody is going to like you and you're going to get friend zoned. Everybody gets friend zoned. I like to think of the friend zone as not that bad. And who cares? Listen, that person just doesn't like you that way. They don't feel the same things that you do about them. Be their friend. That's cool. Find someone else to go smooth John. That's all the time we have for today. I hope you found this insightful.
