Default I am considering being partially nicer on (rare) occassions
Any advice, not sure if I can commit, but need to know how this is done.

My first tendency is to make a very quick review, and then slap with an idiot tag.

The wifey is much nicer than me, so she more than negates my bad behavior, thus not a real priority for me.

Lastly, are there any rewards for being nice, this could sway me.

BTW, althougth not contextually relevant to thread, this is nice:

You're nice to all of us here. Nicer than a lot of us. Certainly not mean-spirited like some.

Being nice is grossly overrated. I've tried it several times and it was not a pleasant experience.

That was a real rough patch, alright.
It's much better now that you're back at the corner of Cease and Desist, where you ought to be.

I agree, being nice and just is exploited by those who 'think' you are naive and gullible.

I had to explain to many in my corporate career that as their supervisor I go to work each day to make money, not friends, and advised they need to embrace the same.

For what it's worth, a "Dood" (rather influential, I might add) once told me "Nice Guys Finish Last And Sleep Alone".
Watch DALLAS and model yourself after J.R.

Dined at CFA for lunch, the manager has very, VERY ample hooters, I was very nice to her, she gave me an extra package of mustard.

Being nice does pay!!
