Reply #94: He needs to work on his people skills [View All]

[oldcoot]

I got the impression from the original post that this man wants a political career. If he is going be successful in politics, he needs to get over any issues that he might have whether he suffers from shyness, is a sexist pig, or is a rude jerk.

The fact that he was willing to talk to the Cally's husband, however, indicates that he was not shy. The fact that he ignored Cally indicates that he is either a sexist pig or a rude jerk. Although Cally's assumption about this guy's views of women may later prove incorrect, he did give her a reason to suspect that he was sexist.

Obviously, this man needs to work on his people skills if he wants any future in politics. He is going to need the help of loyal and dedicated campaign workers who are willing to sacrifice their valuable time to help him get elected. If he had been nicer to Cally, she might have been willing to work on his campaign. Instead, his rude behavior (whether he is a sexist or not) cost him her support. If he continues to behave this way, very few people will want to work on his campaign. Why put up with rude and inconsiderate jerks if you don't have to?

He also must convince voters that he deserves their votes. While hardcore Democratic voters might vote for him simply because he is a Democrat, he still is going to need the support of independent voters and first impressions are very important. If he is rude to potential voters, they are not going to vote for him.
