I love that you recognize in this article that there are nice guys that are actually just nice guys. They just have values that make them treat others how they want to be treated. So many articles on medium about creepy nice guys, where there is always a hidden agenda.

People often mistake cowardice as niceness. I know it isn't, I've been a coward and it wasn't nice. It's passive selfishness. It's purpose is to spare oneself from the struggles that life brings, often at another's expense.
