Nice guys/girls don't finish last but there is a fine line. You can't be a pushover. If you allow someone to take advantage of you and not appreciate you, you will always finish last. What you should do should always be what you WANT to do and come from a good place. But have limits because sometimes things need to be said or done so your value is understood. Be nice. Be smart. Be convicted.
We both enjoy it lol. And if he doesnt want to help me finish, i got hands
There is no threat of pissing off a nice guy so it is easy for women to step over them to the "more appealing" bad boy.
Yeah sometimes I do think "nice guys/gals" do finish last.
Nope
Nah... Just because you are a nice guy or gal does not mean the person you are with is the right one for you.
not if they keep striving. It's the way you run the race and not the wins along the way that makes the difference. You will always win if you take this approach.
Agreed and perfectly said!

It depends. Start off too nice then your gonna get taken advantage of. It's all about timing and becoming and molding yourself to become that nice guy or girl depending on that person. Otherwise be yourself and if starting off like that gets u in a good place, then u can do the extra. Build the relationship from zero. Can't build it from 100 being extremely nice all the time like a yes man. Lol
I find treating a girl with lots of respect, kindness and cute & romantic surprises goes a long way! Even if it's not as attractive as a bad boy.
Yes they do.
The best is saved for last
Always. :) whats the fun if they dont have as much fun as you. :)
i think they do finish last... by being nice you are basically making yourself subservient which then they look down on you as if they settled and you arent as good as they are. the trick is to reframe the question and ask why they are good enough for you... but then you become the jerk who they are trying to impress. and they feel good b/c they think they married up. I really dont think any relationship can last with both at 50% it just doesnt happen that way
I don't think nice guys and girls finish last, always. It depends on how quickly they decide to not be so nice and start being more assertive or find someone who doesn't take advantage of or is very attracted to the genuine nice. :D
Depends.
