Nice Guy

I think we are all nice people, nice as long as the circumstances are copacetic.

If this is true, and the goal is to be nice you would do your best to avoid circumstances that threaten your nice environment… that way you can keep your niceness sharp.

Should “nice” be the goal?

Not sure being known as a “nice guy” is that useful.

If I’m being attacked and I know you’re a nice person I would probably not ask for your help. I would look for someone with an edge and a healthy dose of agency. Someone who doesn’t go along to get along. Someone who has clear boundaries, a firm handshake, and believes in absolute truth.

If things hit the fan you’ll call the man’s man every time. Nice guys are hard to trust.
