I’m sick of people saying I’m shallow because I’m not. I have hidden depths, things nobody knows
about. Maybe I should start telling them
about the real me.
I’m not vain and the reason I spend so long on my appearance is
because when I look good, I feel good. I
feel good about myself. And when I feel
good about myself, I can make others feel good about themselves too. Imagine the boost to a girl’s confidence if
she gets to go out with me. The guys get
known as having that good looking dude as one of their mates. Even work colleagues get a kick out of
knowing I’m on their team. So if I didn’t
do it, everyone else would suffer too.
I’m not big-headed and the reason I share my opinion so widely is to
help others. Seriously, none of it is
for me. Isn’t it some kind of unethical
if I don’t help people when I know the answer to something? Or if I can see they are doing things the
wrong way and I know a better way? I couldn’t
keep that kind of stuff to myself, not in good conscience. I like helping people. Mr Altruism, that’s me.
And I’m not tight-fisted. The
reason I let other people buy me things and get meals and drinks is because
they want to. It’s like a reward I
suppose for all the good feelings I give them.
The lads get seen out with me, they get a better reputation and maybe
more girls, so they want to buy me a beer as a thank you. They know what I drink and so often the beer
is sat there for me when I get back from the toilet or taking a call or
whatever. And women, they buy me gifts a
lot. Can I help that? I don’t want to throw it back in their
faces and appear ungrateful. That would
make them feel bad about themselves and that’s not what I’m all about.
See, there’s so much more to me isn’t there. I’m thoughtful, caring, giving and a good
person. I never say they’re lucky to
have me even though that is pretty much fact.
I suppose there will always be some jealousy about with someone like me
and it’s something I am a big enough man to take.
But I do want them to get me, to understand the real me.
