The Last Of The Mr Nice Guys

Being nice doesn’t get you anywhere. It doesn’t get the girl. It doesn’t get you that promotion you’ve been secretly hoping for at work. It doesn’t even get you the respect or recognition from your friends or family. I know they say it’s a dog-eat dog world but is there no place in the world for the kind-hearted, chivalrous gentlemen any longer?

It sometimes puzzles me how people can be ruthless, care-free and inconsiderate to others. At what point do you stop and think to yourself, ‘Why am I doing this?’ or, ‘What’s the point?’ People can exploit kindness as weakness. The definition of nice within the description of one’s character or personality does not possess the warm, radiant positive connotations as it may have done in the past. Instead, nice derives the notion of mediocrity and the idea of being average.

My message to guys out there: Don’t be nice anymore. Be wary but be yourself. Be charismatically charming but most importantly be distinctly interesting.


Thanks for reading.
