Do Nice Guys Really Finish Last?

For this special 10th anniversary episode of The Psychology Podcast, Scott draws on science to answer the age-old question: Do nice guys really finish last? First, Scott pinpoints exactly what women mean when they use terms such as “bad boy” and “nice guy.” Then he discusses the psychology of individuals who are primarily driven by selfish desires, and how they go about obtaining their mating goals. Then, Scott looks at what women actually want, including what some women want, and what some women want some of the time. Finally, Scott presents what he thinks are the most reasonable conclusions based on all of the current evidence and he offers advice for nice guys, women, and bad boys.

Scott is endearing, kind brilliant and open minded. I wish they put more thought on ad placement and transitions. The ads come abruptly and loudly. Other podcasts do a better job at not breaking the listening flow
A must listen

Finding a podcast that dissects psychological theories and studies in a needy way while remaining engaging and witty is incredibly difficult but Dr. Scott, you have nailed it! There hasn’t been one episode that I’ve listened to where I wasn’t completely fascinated. You highlight the work of brilliant people who may not otherwise be on my radar to learn from. I find this show to be thoroughly enriching to my life and it helps me not only understand myself better but those in my everyday world. Thank you Scott and all of the guests for the amazing work you do. Please keep it up! -Christine McCuen
