To use your own words, people who are "decent in actions and general respectfulness" would be a better phrasing. The way you define I would only consider nice

The way you define I would only consider nice those who are genuinely kind to me. If it's not genuine, they are not nice, just pretending to be nice. So, by (my) definition, I would trust nice people in business.
- dumbfoundded 7y agoI think your definition is fair. I based mine on the dictionary.com definition which is pleasant, agreeable. I don't feel that these traits overlap with honesty, respect, and decency. There are positive traits that are easy and cheap and ones that are expensive and hard. Compliments are cheap and easy so I don't trust when people use them in the course of a sales conversation. Trust and respect are hard and expensive.
