Nope, it was pretty well established by me and those who knew me that I was an "asshole".

Once "adjusted" the odds in my favor in order to get into summer school, when there was a huge waiting list. One thing I admit was wrong, but I don't regret, after all it was necessary evil.

Tricked a girl once into believing that I was having her sibling beaten.

Actually had someone beaten, for not giving me and my girl some space. He was what red pill would call a "beta orbiter".

Cheated on said girl. Lied about it. Threatened to kick the informer's ass for "lying", had him apologize to me in front of everyone.

OMG Reginleifer you are a piece of shit.

Yeah but to be fair you guys don't see the entire picture, I was bullied too (mostly by actual criminals who could, well kill me) , I did my part to keep the school running efficiently by helping others when I could.... I tutored football players in algebra, tutored juvenile delinquents in English lit at a time when tutors were scarce due to cuts, helped the Library out a few jams more than once, stood up for others, and even volunteered at my local shelter.

Incidents like the ones I stated prevented me from deluding myself of my "niceness". But none of that mattered. :p Drug dealers and Gangsters still had more money and success with women than I, I had more success than my MUCH nicer friends, who would NEVER do the kinds of things I did.

It eventually stuck in me that things like niceness and hard work don't necessarily translate to success, this world isn't fair. A decent world would have seen me lose my girl for cheating, a decent world would have rewarded my friends instead of making them kissless virgins doomed to be beta providers at 30, a decent world would have struck those drug dealers off the face of the map.

But we don't live in a fair and decent world, we live in this one. So you do what you gotta do to get by.
