Here's a question that we have all been pondering. I found a really great short reading. It's a tribute for the nice guys who always finish last.
http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~jenf/writing/rant04.html
Quoted from the excerpt.
"This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you."

Nice guys, quietly come to realize the secret.
You see, nice guys end up marrying nice girls, and the monogamous sex is better than anything the "popular girls" provide.
Also, these "nice people" go on to have nice kids, and the healthy family relationships provide a life of happiness.
They do not get publicized because no one wants to hear about these nice things.
Instead, we hear about the popular girls continuously getting treated badly--leading unsatisfying, unfruitful lives. "Oh is me, pity me...."
All the while, nice girls have married all the "good ones," and have incredibly satisfying lives.
Sorry to disappoint you. Last can be quiet nice.

You're probably looking for the wrong types of ladies. The types that would go for bad guys. And besides, I don't think nice guys finish last, just weak guys. Nice guys can be strong too.

I have been wondering this same thing for a long time now...since I read that essay over 2 years ago. I have found that the nice guys usually wait too long to make a move for a girl and that girl gets asked out by some other guy and they go out. but this does not always apply, considering that the guy who showed that article to me had a girlfriend (who is still his girlfriend) at the time. and he is one of the nicest guys that I know

Nice guys usually do not take chances. Like if you want a girl let her know. Tell her that you don't want to be just friends. It is great that you guys buffer girls from the jerks but you need to make moves too. I use to like the bad boys and had "friends" that were guys that looked out for me. Then one of those "friends" said that he did not want to be my friend anymore. He wanted to kiss my socks off then without hesitation he die. WOW best kiss I ever had and it developed from there. He is not my friend anymore. He is my Lover. Go for it nice guys.

wow.... that was a great rant there..... and that's what I was....
I always thought that I was like the gigglo when I had to accompany all the wives to the bar.... (I was also the designated driver.)
The only guy at the dance studio when my daughter goes to dance class....
the estrogen is just overwhelming some days but you get used to blocking it out.
Although, I did manage to get a wife out of all the tagging along and being the "safety blanket" for "the girls."

They don't finish last, they finish first, last. These are the guys the girls turn to when they're really ready to settle down. Just like the guys who turn to the wholesome girls when they're ready to actually get married and start a family. Sometimes it seems to the girls that the nice girls finish last, too!

I was going to ansewr your question but Teacher Man basically said it all, exept that nice guys cant ask a girl out because they know that the girl only sees them as the friend who is always there.

Because women aren't mature and healthy enough to appreciate a man who is good to them. They also have nothing to offer a nice guy, and would bring nothing to a relationship with a good man.

Yeah it is not fair. My ex was totally not a nice guy, I always went for the bad boy, but now I am totally looking for a nice guy.

It's true enough!!! But in the end you know that you did what was nice and decent. The right one will see that and love you for it.
