I don't know how you put up with this. And you can sue for discrimination re: the promotion. Is there a human resources dept. you can complain to? I know--you don't want to rock the boat.
grr
"It would look bad". These people need to get real. It would look great for them to promote a woman. It would make their office/company/sandbox look progressive and unbiased. But they're not interested in that type of image, I'm sure.
Nobody I know still works at that place, they have a ridiculously high turnover rate because they started hiring high school kids, druggies and anyone who would work for minimum wage. I thought about suing, but I live in a very small town and wouldn't have been hired anywhere else if it had been made public. Although, there are currently two class action lawsuits I'm involved in regarding that particular company.
We had a lot of men (mostly older) who would come in and specifically demand no woman touched their vehicle. We also had a few women do that, which really made me sad.
...being a gentleman, being a good and decent man simply isn't worth it.
There it is. We have seen posts saying that women don't 'buy it', it's all a 'scam', or some other excuse. Men who are genuinely honest and have good intentions, men who are seeking a mature relationship without the drama and games are totally screwed. So, really, what IS the point of 'being yourself'? What exactly does it do for someone in this regard? Is it better to just say 'F it!' and change... change into someone completely different? I mean... if a good guy cannot even get a simple lunch/drink/walk in the park 'date' with a good woman then what is there to do? Continue to carry on as usual? Really? Isn't THAT the definition of insanity - doing (or being) the same thing and expecting different results?
Not only is being a good loyal and decent person useless for attracting women, its pretty useless in every other area of life too.
Work ... people will step on you and climb over you.
Friends ... people want to be with fun, exciting people. Try and be loyal and they'll ignore your texts, ignore your messages, or pretend to be your friend while they are aggressively contacting the people they really want in their lives.
Daily life ... people will steal your parking space at the mall and not even flinch.
Should i go on?
Life is not for the meek. Just keep truckin and looking for good people. It'll take a while...
You are misguided.
You mistake being a spineless "nice guy" with being a "good man" they are worlds apart.
Perhaps you should start by reading "No More Mr. Nice Guy". It will explain a lot of your mistakes.
Most "nice guys" are actually very manipulative in the passive aggressive vein.
A good man stands up for what's right...which is usually not popular, but he is strong enough to stand by conviction in the face of the crowd whom mock him...for he knows he is right.
There are no lists or particular actions that make this man...it is in his core. It's called integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing...even when no one is looking or when it's unpopular.
