Nothing sucks more than being called "a nice guy". Look where it's gotten me!
Well, when you think about the alternative (an a@@ perhaps?), nice guy ain't so bad!!!
All joking aside, nice is a rare commodity these days and I think it's a quality that's valued by just about everyone I know. Don't let your current situation skew your perception of a great compliment!
