    "Nice guys" have no one to blame but themselves for their woes.

    Everyone needs to learn to be bad and break some rules for their own benefit when it is necessary. If you don't you are a brainwashed fool. Morality is all about benefitting the group. It is wrong to steal because it benefits the group to have that agreement in place. It isn't wrong to slaughter innocent animals with incredible pain because that rule wouldn't benefit the group. So not to take the occasional opportunity for yourself that would reap huge rewards when it arises because it breaks one of our little agreements is silly when you are already doing things far worse. You are being manipulated by the group. That is why "Nice guys" aren't respected.

    The phrase "nice guys" is being used to mean 1000 different things here. Nice guys is not a synonym for wall flower or for a guy that is afraid to talk to girls. Nor is it a synonym for a guy who lets people walk all over him. Nor is it a synonym for somebody who is manipulated by a group.

    There is nothing wrong with being a nice guy, nor are all nice guys devoid of self respect. You can't use something with as many meanings as "nice guy" and use it to label a massive amount of the population. Generalisations are looked down upon here and I see the "nice guys" stuff as another generalisation. It is as valid as saying "all girls are X" or "All Irish are Y". In other words, "nice guys" should not be used as a banner phrase for all men without self respect who let people walk all over them. There are plenty of nice guys who are successful in all manner of areas.

    The only place that a nice guy with self respect should finish last is in the bedroom!
