Nice Guys Don’t Always Finish Last, My Perspective!

As far back as I can remember, the fact that nice guys finish last has always been the cornerstone of the male generation. Many guys, as I was once myself, always went above and beyond for the concept of being that nice guy that all the women want(ed) to date.

Naturally, a lot of men have been fooled into thinking that the nice guy always gets the girl and in a lot of sense, we more or less do. However, throughout my life, I’ve found that its the exact opposite.

See, I’ve held doors, I’ve moved tables, and I’ve made the earth move under a woman's’ feet along with a few other little feats. But you know what I found, nice guys don’t get the girl, they’re just expected to because they were raised to believe all of that Hollywood garbage.

I get it, most women expect men to be the nice guy and whatever else not to mention show her that he’s not like every other guy; every woman wants this. What I found was something far more different.

You can be the nice guy if you don’t intend to date that gal either because she’s already involved with someone else or that there’s just no chemistry there. But make no mistake too, this also gets old.
