Ja als ik naar me zelf kijk heb ik veel geduld gehad met situaties die ik nu heel anders aan pak.
It depends. In relationships, I often get the sense that these "nice guys" (and gals) are just going after the wrong kind of person. They need to find someone who loves them as they are! In other aspects, some people are rewarded for being good, and others use lying and cheating to get ahead. It varies.
they let the other come first :)
we wait, we are through, we finished last. But we actually finish. we are compleeted. abd through hardest times we dont give up.

Yes

It's really hard to say. I'm not in the race anymore. In terms of fulfillment in the end, I'd say no. In getting immediate satisfaction in what one thinks they want, I'd probably say yes.
I really think they do.
Not in the long run. In the end, they get what they want and deserve.
Nice girls and guys have to remember to think of themselves as well as other people or they might. It's not a race to be won but a journey, so enjoy the journey and love your traveling companion and things will be fine.
Often
Because lying, stepping on people, and cheating can help one get ahead
But not always because sometimes those people have a troubled conscious and hate themselves

Yes I agree. I prefer gentlemen over selfish boys. It really isn't a race and sometimes it can be difficult for girls to finish and guys can get exhausted and fall asleep after they finished so it's better if a girl can finish first.
Us Gentlemen figured this out decades ago...
Be polite, let others go ahead, follow "Ladies First" rule, show respect for others, use good manners and common courtesy? Then yes, you will likely finish last. However, If you don't like being last, that's fine... But don't complain when everyone says you've become a jackass and a mean bastard. That's what's happened to society... SO worried about being last, they forgot about how nice it is to show others they care.
