http://www.thepunch.com.au/author-bios/saeed-saeed/ Saeed Saeed is a journalist for Leader Newspapers in Melbourne. He was formerly a freelance writer and published pieces in The Australian, Herald Sun and Courier Mail. Saeed’s dream job was to be an airline pilot, but then downgraded it to a train driver to accommodate his lack of mathematical acumen. Disliking train drivers’ uniforms, Saeed decided to check out what journalism has to offer. Along the way he held jobs such as a youth worker, waiter, shelf stacker, video store clerk and a security guard at an explosives factory. Saeed is the son of Eritrean parents and arrived in Australia in 1990 at the age of 9. en Copyright 2012 The Punch penberthyd@newsltd.com.au penberthyd@newsltd.com.au Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 Politics, opinion, world news, sports news, latest news, views, Barack Obama, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Nathan Rees, Malcolm Turnbull, Peter Garrett, Barnaby Joyce, Australian, federal politics, opinion polls, election, The Punch, thepunch, punch ExpressionEngine 1.6.7 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 15 http://www.thepunch.com.au/images/punch-logo-rss.png http://www.thepunch.com.au/ 144 70 Politics, political opinion, world news, sports news and the latest news and views updated live, daily on The Punch - Australia's best conversation.

Not to be a grinch, I suppress the urge to inform them that nice guys will soon join the Dodo in extinction. They will be the latest addition to the graveyard of male archetypes – such as chocks, snags and metrosexuals – that men unsuccessfully adopted when wooing the other sex. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Saeed Saeed) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/death-of-the-nice-guy-may-lead-to-end-of-the-species/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/death-of-the-nice-guy-may-lead-to-end-of-the-species/#item711 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 19:35:33 +0000 Saeed Saeed | Author bios | The Punch
