Why make it a point? because I was asked a legitimate question that I felt warranted an answer. Then you jumped in (like you do in all my threads) and play captain save a ho.
I'll indulge you since you really do seem to care about me and how I run my business.
I'm a nationally published professional photographer. Chicks who want to be models come in and pay me to develop their portfolios. I'm known in my area for providng the occasional chick, a website. A friend of a friend comes in, pays to get her portfolio started or refreshed. In the middle of the shoot, they ask about getting a site. In the past, I would do this for them. With the exception of one, I normally will pass their info along.
This chick wanted a site. So I stopped charging her (i.e. doing my job that pays the bills FREE) she stands me up 4 times, with one excuse being better then the other. Now being I don't rely on website money to pay my bills, this hurts my pocket because I make money shooting people. If you can't show up and I'm shooting you free, I can sure as hell trust that your not going to pay me for missing, will I be out that money? hell no.
You said "sometimes being a nice guy can give benefits that aren't so tangible" tell that to five daughters, a wife, a mortage officer and all the bills that comes with these things. I CAN be the nice guy, but you screw me out of my income 4 times, I have to get it back some way.
But I'll let you continue on being the nice guy that you are, I'll be the mean old man that choses to pay his kids private school tuition and buying my wife her scrapbooking shit so her and her hen friends can get together and finish the gossip session that lasted longer then their TWO HOUR phone convo.
Yours,
the mean guy who only want tangible benifits.
