it's a fair question

Which is worse, genuine douchiness or fake niceness?

I'm not sure but right now I'm leaning toward fake niceness as being worse.

Edit - This is a lame entry but still better than most blogs. I have had a lot of things I was going to blog about but haven't gotten around to like the time I bought gum called Fabulous Fruitini, or the time I had a near death experience due to a gummi shark with a liquid center, or the time my son asked me why we didn't name him Indiana Jones, or the time my daughter wanted to make sandwiches shaped like Bender (the robot from Futurama) so someone could finally bite his shiny metal ass, but it's too much work I suppose.

Sad, but if it wasn't you would have read it somewhere other than a glorified end note.

I despise fake people and the action of fake niceness. I actually respect and like those who are who they are and don't pretend.

Fake niceness is by far worse to me. Leading some one to believe they are great rather than just being straight with them does a person greater injustice.

I agree. I am nice to people I don't necessarily like because it's just common courtesy but I hate that fake niceness that usually comes from bad supervisors or salesmen. That stuff just wreaks of insincerity. Would you guys agree that fake niceness is usually used to manipulate someone in some way?

I'd agree. I think common courtesy and fake niceness needs to be clearly defined.

Common courtesy, to me, is responding and being polite when spoken to. Acting in like manner.

Fake niceness, to me, is going out of your way to approach some one and pretend that you have an interest in them. But you are instead serving a covert purpose.
