Dear Margo,
I never thought I would write to an advice columnist, but here goes. I’m a likable guy, except I’m starting to think nobody likes me. I don’t get it. I have a nice, natural smile. I waggle my head in a boyish, endearing manner. I wear cowboy boots (without lifts), even though I have degrees from Yale and Harvard. I mean, Nixon wore wingtips to the beach, and he became president! If I were planning on becoming even more likable over the next, say, four years, what would you suggest?
