In many arenas, it is certainly thought to be true, but only by those who don't understand the prizes waiting for the 'nice guy' at the end of the race. There's a lot to be said about those who finish last. I had rather finish last and best than first without character or integrity.

As from the point I stand right now I would say yea they do. might be the area I live or something. I know alot of guys that are great guys and myself is included but cant find a girl to give me a chance. Maybe in the end they do but as of right now I say they finish last!

No way. Nice guys get the better relationships with other people. They might not take advantage, and therefore not get the advantages but they don't always lose. Lots of people like partners that are nice "guys".

Nice guys always finish first it might take them longer and they might be in disguise but they finish first.

I would say yes, and my reason for that response is kind of involved. There are so many of us that live in the moment,we grap and take all that we can, without any regard for anyone. If someone is hurt as of a result of our selflish need to get all that we can, the attitude seems to be so what, 'if you slow you blow'. Sometimes it takes years but the consequenses of this philosophy is inescapeable. You will and do pay for your thoughtlessness and selfishness, eventually. And I have seen it played out many times, those that have been fair, and honest and just decent [corny I know],seem to be happier and more fulfilled...but this is just my take on the phrase 'Nice Guys Finish Last'...SS

I see where you are coming from. and that is a different take on it, but one that makes alot of sense as well. this is why i love this Q&A, you get some many different views on the same topic. it just opens your eyes to many ways to see a situation. thanks

Well my man in a nice guy and he certainly doesn't finish last in my book! I agree with you on the diamond analogy-- a nice guy is a girl's best friend. So many of my friends don't know how to "handle" it when a guy is nice to them, it's really sad!

that is because women have been burned and they judge all other man by that man that situation. when you think the worst that is what you get. but if women sit down write down what they want, know that men are wonderful and they are good and loving, and feel that feeling of being loved by a man like that. then they will get one. but if you think they are dogs and are going to hurt you then they will
