There is being oneself, and there is being oneself that is embraced by others.
In talking to a couple of guy friends lately, being a nice just doesn't seem to win the ladies' hearts any more.
My mother told me that one of the reasons that she picked my father over her many suitors was that most of her friends agreed that he was the nicest guy.
These days, being accomplished seems to be the most desirable trait. A person has to be fit, intelligent, talented, and well-traveled. Whatever happen to just having a good heart?
When has being adventurous a desirable trait? My father is not the most adventurous person, but he was respected due to his dedication to the community. He is very lucky that his personality suited his era.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, women tends to look for men that have what is socially desirable.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, I don't usually follow the trend. Let's see if the current candidate will be around long enough for me to see if I need Mr. Nice Guy or Mr. Accomplished...
