      "title": "Where are all the nice men hiding? The Lexus Effect: An article about a way to meet Great Guys.",
      "body": "As a (now happily married) nice guy, the simple answer is that they're hiding in plain sight. This post is for single women committed to being in a relationship. It's about how to find those nice guys.\n\nOver the years, in conversations with female friends (including my wife's female friends) I kept hearing the same things.\n'It's really hard to meet anyone nice.'\n'Searching is difficult work.'\n'All the nice guys are married already.'\n\n(By the way - if you're reading this and you *haven't* said any of those things out loud, I would stop reading now. Because carrying on is likely to annoy you.)\n\nAs a man I would instantly want to present my view. I would say things like:\n'Us nice guys don't get noticed.'\n'You *say* you want to meet a nice guy, but when it comes down to it, you'd rather go out with an idiot'\n'As a nice guy, I kept being told 'James your really nice, but we can only be friends'. If you wanted a nice bloke why do you do this?'\n\nAnd then I would attempt to offer advice saying:\n'You girls don't know what you want.'\n\nAs I would do this, my wife would be cringing. She'd later tell me that I was being too harsh and I was just pissing people off.\n\nThe bottom line is, I want to help. I'm proudly married to a beautiful wife. I want what I have for my friends. I'd like to give women an insight into the world of guys.\n\nThis is all very well - but it still doesn't answer the question. How does a woman in her thirties or older meet a nice guy?\n\nI say, it's really not that hard. It just takes a little thinking and action.\n\nRecently speaking to a friend, she was complaining (ok maybe complaining is a bit harsh...it was probably more observing) that it's hard to meet anyone nice. Online dating wasn't quite producing the quality she wanted, and she'd been a bit shocked by the results on Tinder.\n\nI wish I was surprised.\n\nI think there is an easier way. We are surrounded by great people we don't even notice. Living in a town or city; commuting to work; using the internet; owning a smartphone; all these things mean we spend less time interacting with real people. So, I suggested something very simple to my friend: 'Compliment the men around you for something, and the nice guys will appear.'\n\nShe didn't get it at first. So I said it was like buying a new piece of clothing, or a new car. Before I bought it, I never noticed them. After I bought it, suddenly they were everywhere.\n\nShe laughed:\n'It was exactly like that when I bought my Lexus. Until I bought the car, I never noticed them. Then - I kept seeing them everywhere.'\n'That's what we'll call it. 'The Lexus Effect'.\n\nWhat shows up around us, is what's in our space. If I keep meeting unattractive people, then unattractive people are in my space. The question is - how do I change that?\n\nIt's actually simple - take action to notice the thing I want. Before I met my wife, I took action. I started complimenting the women around me: for what they wore, having a nice voice, or sometimes (as I got better at it) for being beautiful. What showed up around me was - guess what - beautiful, attractive women.\n\nIf I didn't mean it, or didn't really feel it, I wouldn't say it. As a guy I was sensible enough to know: complimenting a woman if I didn't mean it would just be sleazy. It's because there's a mismatch between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking. There's a hidden agenda. When I give a compliment for the sake of giving a compliment - it's uplifting for the other person. A genuinely-given compliment is a gift.\n\nThe really interesting thing for me was noticing the woman's reaction: from blushing, a quiet 'thank-you', to the range of strategies that women employ to down playing compliments:\n'Oh this dress was really cheap. It's nothing really.'\n'Ummm...'\n'Yes but, I've been at work all day and just come off the tube, so I'm not looking at my best you know.'\n\nI started with people I knew - because it was simpler. As I got better, I started complimenting strangers in conversation. But make no mistake - starting to give compliments isn't easy. I had all  sorts of thoughts in my head before giving a compliment from \"she'll think I'm weird\" to \"what if she gets the wrong idea and thinks I'm coming on to her?\" through to \"what's the point?\"\n\nThe main reason for all those thoughts was the risk of rejection. So ask yourself: is it worth it? Here's something that happened to me.\n\nWhen I was twenty-one, I was working for a company in London. I used to have lunch in the park and read a book when it was a nice day. I remember one time I sat down to lunch under a tree. I saw an attractive young woman having lunch on the grass opposite. Without thinking much, I smiled.\n\nTo my surprise, she smiled back.\n\nI felt my ears get hot, and actually blushed. I went back to my book. My heart also beat a little faster.\n\nI looked up again, hoping to catch her eye. We shared another look. This time I noticed that she was wearing a top with the logo of one of my favourite bands in the corner. I went back to my book, not really reading, but having a conversation in my head along the lines of: \"I should go and start a conversation...but what if she doesn't like me?...She likes Machine Head - she's wearing a top...but I might say something stupid...You won't, you can start a conversation...But she might think I'm weird...She won't...But I'm dressed all smart and I've got to go back to work and mustn't be late...It won't take long...\"\n\nSo I looked up a third time.\n\nAnd she wasn't there.\n\nI looked around in vain. It was as if she had vanished. After that initial rush of adrenaline, I felt hollow and dejected. Then there was frustration and anger with myself.\n\nBeing more romantic that I like to admit, I went back to that spot at the same time, every day, for the next two weeks.\n\nI never saw her again. Life is not a perfectly-scripted romantic comedy.\n\nThe point is, opportunities like that appear all the time. It's up to us to take them. Giving a compliment to a guy, for the sake of giving a compliment - without an agenda - is a chance to step outside the \"game of dating\". It's an opportunity to have a straight-forward interaction without worrying about what they're thinking and second-guessing yourself. It's a space for a real connection; for a little adventure, and is totally worth it. \n\nSo ladies. If you're bemoaning the lack of decent men around you - start complimenting the guys around you. Find a real reason to give the men around you a gift.\n\nAnd now I'm married, I continue to give my wife several gifts. Every day.\n\nTwo-Week Challenge: Compliment Men\n1) compliment one man you know, genuinely, every day\n2) after one a day for a week, compliment a stranger\n3) after the second week, reflect on your opinions about men:\n- have you met some nice guys?\n- have you spoken with some attractive guys?\n- what actions could you take next?\n\nAre you going to take on this challenge? Do you have any comments or feedback? Would you like some support material? If so, drop me an email on: [email protected]",
