I think so. I'm still trying to figure out how someone can be the supportive one without being the yes-man. Isn't that the definition of a yes-man? 
Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to be someone I can brainstorm with for something you know about? 
That's supportive too, you know...

'course i can
i'd love to
and i think that those two are differnt... i thought a yes-man was someone who said yes to everying pretty much no matter what you say. i think being supportive is different.....
but i think i like the one you suggested best. thanks

I agree.
Yes Men are morons who don't know anything but achieve positions of power by blindingly agreeing with anything you say and that makes you like them. (If you're a fool that is.)
But being supportive isn't necessarily like that. Being supportive is being much more honest with the person and acknowledging the truth of the situation and that it could be very hard and that you /might/ make a few mistakes, but still believing that they can do it.

Ah I guess I had entirely the wrong idea about what a yes-man is, then.
Thanks, X! 
I don't want a yes-man any more; I want supportive people instead.

Well that's why Met is here........ I'll go back to being the Naysayer. 
The Human Race is too flawed and arrogant to achieve that level of wisdom!

Er. I'm not sure which level of wisdom you're referring to, but rest assured that my plan is not to make /humans/ any smarter.
