That's because being a nice guy is completely unnatural and counter to the nature of the human animal, along with just about every other animal out there. Trying to suppress natural urges (eating, drinking, having sex, etc.) is not good for you.

You spelled 'character wrong'. Anyways, you don't trust those types of people because you've associated your self with people who are asshole (atot) and have rough edges (acne/scabs/scars) and not with people who are nice (hot women?).

You need to change the people who you deal with on a daily basis (instead of idiots like MX2times or werk who are clearly bitter and have no life, are probably overweight and compensate for their lack of social skills by lashing out at others).


:laugh:
you have a pretty strong point there

Yeah sounds stupid but what I mean is I really don't trust people who are always nice, no rough edges or let's say caracter.
I have a feeling they will snap at any point and go off on you.....

My preference is persons with a 'rough' not always pleasing och super nice caracter where their real personality shines through better.

Discuss.

Relax, stop projecting your expectations onto people.
 
There were a couple of "nice" women that I truly believe were nice, and were genuine.

That said, in general, I avoid "nice people" because I really really do not believe that they are being genuine. Fvck that, be yourself whether it makes everyone love you or hate you. Don't be someone you aren't.

You misspelled "I'm a weenie"

I guess, it's so poorly misspelled that I didn't spell it at all! You on the other hand, did an excellent job summing up your personality in those quotes. 😉
 
I appear to be emotionless, cold, rough person, though I'm a genuinely nice person on the "inside". But I don't try to fake being nice, Im straightforward when I talk to people.
 
Well, I guess it takes all kinds. I am a fairly nice person. I am nice because I really don't care to much, unless it requires a lot of physical or mental work. I am kind of laid back, but I do let things bother me sometimes. Then I remember that it really doesn't matter all that much. Most people couldn't relate to me if they knew all my secrets anyway. It would be just to much to deal with. One thing I have learned is not to piss people off to much, because most people hold a grudge for a long time.

Just came back.....
Sounds like a few here get what I was saying.

FYI, I was born in Sweden (that's in Europe for those who don't know) and I agree with a previous poster that I've met more 'false' people here than back home. I say what I think and mean what I say whenever possible. I absolutely hate the 'how are you nice weather how's your family' bla bla bla.
People see me as 'nice' but sometimes brutally honest and somewhat blunt. I make blunt jokes but I make sure they get that it is a joke.

The clean cut, suburbia family guy with a false smile and stupid polite conversation is my #1 enemy. The slightly grumpy, edgy guy/girl with a sense of humour is way more interesting and long lasting when it comes to being friends. It's easier to 'read' people like that.

That's exactly what I was getting at, balanced. :thumbsup:

Now eat sh1t and die. 😉

 
yeah, sometimes people are being the opposite of nice when they are acting extra nice. Like when you ask for their opinion and they say its great but you really know they hate it

What type did you grow up with?
Are you a "bottom line" kind of person (you want to know what people are thinking/feeling or what their motives are, rather than playing social "nice" games?)

I hate social nice games, take it from there.....
 

I just don't like people that are really nice, especially at work. They are so happy to be checking into a hotel on the weekend to have a super great time!!! It's really annoying because I am at work and I don't really need to hear about all the great plans they have for that evening because I am stuck folding laundry and running to go get towels for the pool in my stupid stewardess-like uniform. Gag!

See you in a month. When/if you come back, the personal attacks and trolling will stop or your next vacation will be a permaban.

That's the impression I got working in Denmark too, people tended to be more straight forward, less bs.
