The “Pick Your Battles” narrative is interpreted by Nice Guys as don't fight any battles at all.

They use this narrative to make it sound as if they're being kind of philosophical: “You know, some things aren't worth it. You got to choose the things that are important.”

But, if you watch their behaviour, what you'll see is that they don't find anything that's important. They don't find anything to fight for and it's all just a glaze. It's all just a mask that they use to look noble when they're actually being cowards.

The other main reason that this kind of men, afraid of their wives and their own behaviour, takes place is the foregone conclusion that being assertive will definitely create what they call “negativity”, negative emotions, bad results.

This, of course, is by default not worth the effort.

They think it's harmful to be assertive. They think it's just so not worth trying. Why would you throw money away on something that isn't valuable? Why would you assert yourself if it only harms the relationship?
