    Do Nice Guys Really Finish Last?
    Nov 14 2024

    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.

For anyone with an interest in psychology

Covers wide range of topics within the realm of psychology, everything from mainstream to obscure. I've been following Scott for a while on Spotify, and by now I feel that weird effect where he seems like an old friend, haha! Scott seems to me like an intelligent and compassionate person, and I listen to his podcast when I need a pick-me-up in this bizarre world. The psychological perspective of the podcast is largely humanistic, in the vein of Maslow and Carl Rogers.
Scott is curious, empathetic, and probing as an interviewer/host. Also recommended for anyone with a "divergent" mind of any sort... Scott had to contend with the low expectations and barriers set upon him due to his childhood learning disability. As such, he's a big advocate for (and model of) the potential of neurodivergent minds.
