Nope! In fact, I married one!


In my experience yes for guys and no for gals. True nice guys have the problem of being the "friend" that girls take comfort in. While the nice girl is often pursued and has a choice of who she wants.


1-2-3...Awww!


Initially that may seem the case. But eventually the whole "not so nice guy/gal" thing gets old, and those particular relationships don't last. Whereas, the nice guy/gal get their "niceness" rewarded with a long term (aka permanent) happy relationship.


Yes for guys and no for girls. I cant explain it, it's just what I've consistently observed.


they finish last; too easy to walk all over, so the supply is virtually unlimited.


I don't think so. Going out with a jerk eventually will take its toll and you will be looking for a nice person to spend time with. Good always overcomes evil. :)


Nice guys always last. Nice girls sometimes.


The way the world is set up nice guy are the ones that make decision based on compassion and putting other interests first, which in turn make them more likely to have true friends, true love and a closet full of awards. But the one that seek self interest first they are more likely to get noticed in the cooperate world or places where competition and prestige are rewarded. So to say that one finishes first or last all depends on what we place in our lives as important.


No, lots of women look specifically for nice guys. And then we fight over them.


I don't know if they finish last, but they will never finish first. That's the way it should be...nice guys will always place a higher priority on the ones they love and will sacrifice their wants/needs/desires for others (especially their wife and children).


It's not bout nice guy or bad guy....it's about how he treats the women!


Overly nice guys do finish last. You have to find the happy medium. Don't be a push over and don't be a lazy, self centered, demanding jerk. You can be assertive and nice.


It depends on how one translates "nice". I find that dedication, passion, positivity and desire are all factors that help someone finish "first" in any field...love or life. So. If these are attributes of "nicety" then the statement is a misnomer. If one believes that nice attributes house self-worth issues:allowing oneself to be taken advantage of, supporting too much, placing oneself last...then the statement could ring true.I believe that my partner and I are both nice and finishing first.


Nice girls and guys lose in the casual dating game, but win in the long term game of love. Assholes win in the casual dating game, but lose in the long term. Women: date the asshole, but only marry the nice guy. If you think the guy you are dating is an asshole, have fun with him, even date him seriously, but just don't marry him.
