Nice guys finish last?

Where To · 25-07-2012 01:58AM #1

Is this still true? When I was a courting the young ladies it was terrible hard work for an affable easy going goodlooking general nice guy like me to woo a fair maiden. Charm and good looks were no match for court convictions and battle scars.

Emilio Estevez was my hero.

1st to reply. Woo! Fúck you nice guys!

brummytom · 25-07-2012 02:04AM

Yeah it's true. Cunts get on in life.

Chuck Stone · 25-07-2012 02:05AM

Can't be too nice or you'll end up in the 'just good friends' zone.

Millicent · 25-07-2012 02:10AM

Stop dating gobsh1tes and you'll be sorted. Anyone over the age of 15 who values an arsehole over a nice guy is going to be a major PITA anyway.

Call a spade a spade, shy guys finish last.

Onto her face FTW!!

I preferred John Bender to be honest. But I can appreciate someone who uses the word affable. Best of luck in your future endeavours old chap!

And people that don't have any legs.
Sorry.

B.A._Baracus · 25-07-2012 02:19AM

Yes. Nice guys finish last.

But the expression isnt only related to dating. But everything in life. If you be a dick and look out for number 1 in every possible way. You'll have more in life. So being a 'nice guy' will make you have less.

Which is obvious when you think about it. Life is a rat race after all. So if you arent willing to act in an 'dog eat dog' way you will sink. From a personal stand point I think i am too soft. Soft in the sense that I be too nice.

Do you mean a digging spade or spade as in the "ace of spades"?

Shryke · 25-07-2012 02:25AM

The word Nice used to mean that a person was stupid, naive etc. In a lot of ways it still does. When a girl calls a guy nice, you know what I mean. That's closer to its original use.
Nice guys have a tougher learning curve but I think they finish well over all. They start poorly is a better way of putting things.
Shyness is something else and it is a genuine psychological problem that will impede a persons life.

Of course nice guys finish last. Why do you think were called nice guys? Because we let the the lady climax first.

Sharpshooter · 25-07-2012 02:28AM

Nice guys do finish last, it's what makes them Nice!

How would you like it if I told people not to date you? :mad:

There is a difference between being nice and being a doormat. IMO no girl wants to date a doormat unless they intend to take advantage, you don't want anything to do with them though. The same way you probably would be better off without the type of girl who likes a guy who treats her like crap.

KKkitty · 25-07-2012 02:49AM

Emilio is way hotter than Charlie. Some girls do like a bit of drama with lads tbf. They won't bother with nice lads because it's not cool or chase bad boys to rebel against parents when they're younger.

Moving on to Kiefer, 24 is a nice number, ruling out seconds now, we are into minutes........hours even!

I think the bad boys tend to overtake the Nice guys in the early stages, but it will always be the Nice guy who gets the girl crying on his shoulder about that Bastard!

It's then the Nice guy should step up his game, imo.....

So just because you're in a relationship you come on here and cockblock us poor gobsh1tes? Not cool.

+1 on dropping the hand. Is there ever a bad time for it?

Knees I say more, if your hand is all you can talk about, then I would drop it.

It has nothing to do with being 'nice', and being 'nice' has nothing to do with the seduction process. The same way that being nice has nothing to do with being a good footballer or not.

What many (not all) women don't like is passive guys who are insecure and, thus, afraid to show their true selves. So they present this nice guy image instead, which is approachable as it's nice to have someone who'll always be kind to you around, but it doesn't necessarily mean you want to bang them.

None of us are 100% nice, in the same way that none of us are 100% arseholes. But I can see why a woman would be more attracted to a guy who was unafraid to be an arsehole around her than a guy who was clearly hiding it away under layers of insecurity, only for it to be revealed when it's too late. What we take to mean as 'nice' is, more often than not, just a lick arse who's afraid to be themselves.

I hate 'nice' girls too. There's nothing worse than a girl licking your arse, having learned from experience that you'll have to deal with a bunch of stuff that you didn't sign up for, as the layers peel off down the line.

Might sound harsh, but it's the truth.

I honestly don't think there can be any greater tribute to someone than people saying "He's one of life's good guys'.

CruelCoin · 25-07-2012 08:16AM

We're still all basic creatures.

Women unconsciously look for strong, healthy, masculine men, who in a caveman situation would be more able to provide for her and their many offspring, and more likely to sire strong healthy kids.

It'll take a good few more 10's of thousands of years before this trait is bred out of us. Not sure if that will be a good thing though.

You can't really compare "i can make this software do amazing things" with "i could bench press you up and down my cock all night long".

There's a difference between 'nice guys' and being a nice guy.

The type of bloke who classifies himself as the 'nice guy' is generally a bit disturbing.... They put women on pedestals and seem to think that Hollywood romance is real life and that women are like princesses. It's all a bit surreal, sappy and pathetic.

I do none of those things.

Then I'd say you're not a 'nice guy' but just a normal bloke.

Culleeo · 25-07-2012 08:41AM

I think the key to success is to be nice but not overly nice. I find if you're overly nice, some people see that as a weakness and tend to take advantage of that. I'm always nice to people but the minute I feel someone might be taking advantage of that, a bit of a nasty streak comes out and it's just to let people know that I won't take any shit. I find people will respect you more too.

Nice guys finish last?
