It all depends.
I've found that the chicks work harder to please me when I'm aloof, or just tired and cranky. They chat me up, respond to my every wish, thank me for every little thing I do for them, look pleased everytime I smile.
Once I loosen up, start to joke, talk, be nice... they smack me, scold me, tell me to shut up, take me for granted... And if I'm quieter than usual, they think something's bothering me and they'll be nicer than normal again.
Charbor all the same. Being a nice guy? Fuck that. Why should I try to impress anyone? What have
they ever done for me?
Of course, being a lao lan kia works for me. Maybe being a nice guy works for others. Different market, different value, right?
