The nice-guy strategy is for beta males like me. It's a competitive set of traits that convinces women we will stick around for the children.

Our traits include being funny and sensitive, liking children and small pets, and we often clean up after ourselves.

We might not get the most tail, but, hey, it's better than getting none.

We have higher rates of being cuckolded, but as long as we get what we can, we consider ourselves successful enough.
