Well, that's finished now, hasn't it guys?
The argument was a little rude, which is in keeping with the topic, so therefore it's still on track, righ'?
At least when I'm nice it is genuine, and not fake like some Nice Guy (TM), so yeah.
I found the use of the word Nice to describe a flaw agonizingly absurd, so that put a little fuel to the fire as well.
Nobody said that being nice was a flaw. I sure as hell didn't.
It's not a virtue either. It's literally the bare minimum required to be a decent human being. Nobody deserves jack s**t for just being nice. Not sex, not a medal, not even a compliment. Look at this cartoon again:

The guy isn't losing because he's "nice." He's losing because that's the only thing he has to offer. If being "nice" is the best thing you have going for you, you're either incredibly boring or not actually the slightest bit nice.

Apperently this thread had zero point other than to make a convoluted semantics argument so I see no reason why it shouldn't be locked..........
It had a point that wasn't yours. You kept saying I needed help, when the whole point was to clarify beyond reasonable doubt, that being nice is a given, not something you strive to do. If it was made as simple as your response to "Well at least she responded as an honest woman and not some guy that thinks I need help", then this thread wouldn't be required. Say it so people know what you are talking about.
Why does being rude attract so many women? (
SARCASM)
If we really have been arguing the same point I fail to see how I'm anymore at fault for the communication issue than you are. I don't think your post was as clear as you think it was and based on some of the other comments in the thread, I'd say I'm not the only one who thinks this. I'm not always the best communicator so I'm willing to take 50% of the blame but only if you can do the same...........
