Of course, being likeable gets a lot done. That’s why, though I’m an ass here, I’m very nice in person.

Being nice and being likable are completely different things. In fact, I’d say there’s not even very much correlation between the two. A raging asshole is probably not likable, but even then, only if he’s consistently and overtly mean. Plenty of extremely nice people are very much unliked.
