Question

How true nowadays is the statement, "Nice Guys Finish Last."?

Answer 1

yes i agree with that statement.

do girls really want a manner-challenged, emotionally, physically and psychologically abusive filthy unemployed jerk? The good news is that aside from ones with serious problems, the answer is overwhelmingly "NO". Girls don't want jerks. They certainly won't say they do. But do girls even KNOW what they want? OF COURSE NOT!! .The bad news is that girls don't want jerks, but they are ATTRACTED to them, so they usually end up with them. Females make decisions via feelings, not logic.

Also, notice that the attractive features of the nice guy are ones that most females get from their girlfriends and family; therefore they don't LOOK for those things during the attraction phase. Moreover, the unattractive features of the nice guy are instantly noticeable. It is here where the manipulative instincts of a woman come into play, and the nice guy becomes a spineless doormat, which women may like as a "platonic friend", but don't have much respect for, much less attraction.

The secret to why the cocky guy wins with women, over the nice guy, is that he is perceived as being a stronger, more confident guy with more value. How? He never invests everything -- his entire being, ego, and self-worth in what one woman's response or reaction to him is. He doesn't gush with compliments; he isn't always available; he doesn't give too much; and he knows he isn't going to die if a woman says "no" to him. More, his attitude is, yeah, I'd like to go out with you, but if I can't, that's OK -- I'm a busy guy, with exciting things going on, and lots of other options.

Answer 2

True, but it's usually misinterpreted.

A "nice guy" can still get plenty of girls. Some "nice guys" will read that, say, "Oh I need to be an as*hole to get girls", and starts to act like a royal d*ckhead from there on. That's not how it works.

Nice guys do better with women than a******s do. It just becomes unattractive when the guy crosses the line from "nice" to "complete pushover"..... And very, very many guys are like that.

The statement was probably coined because people use "nice guys" to refer to those pushovers, shy men, tentative men, etc... Contrary to the statement, it still pays to be nice with women.

Answer 3

Well, I, for one, prefer "nice guys". They're first in my book. Stacy is right. That's why smart women wait so long to get married. They're waiting until the jerks are out of the running and have a good selection of mates to choose from.

Answer 4

Nasty girls hope so.

Answer 5

Very.
