    It’s more complicated than that I think.

    Like “being nice to people” is transactional. It doesn’t really look at emotional needs. The so called neckbeards think they are being nice… But the issue is that nice is superficial. Nice will get you promotions at your customer service job but it ignores emotional need.

    The fact so a contingent is so poisoned by so called “benevolent” sexism is a feature not a bug.

      Be nice to people because you just try to be a nice person, not because you expect something back. It will pay off.

      If you’re an Intel type, then how about you go for nice, you start practicing some sports to get healthier, do less internet, practice mental higiene by not looking at opinion pieces too much anymore, go out, mingle, talk with people. Get hobbies, get a life. Start dating, don’t go for “I only date tens!” Nonsense. Those are things that will make your life better.
