They also don’t care for rules and regulations, believe in themselves, and think they’re the captain of their own destiny. How to attract an Outlaw: Carve your own path in the world.

Nice Guys show kindness to women (and men) exclusively because they think the world works on some kind of points system where if they’re nice enough for long enough, they’ll earn a relationship (or sex, at a minimum).

Key personality traits: Nice Guys tend to be a touch overbearing, clingy, and obsessive. They can also be very friendly, touchy, and inquisitive.
