Why do they always throw the nice guys in a volcano..and then wonder why they get mad in the end? frustrated


Dammit, he dangled on the precipice of said volcano during gale force winds and now he's mad he went in?...

On a related note...

Nice guys MUST ALWAYS finish last because if nice guys finished first, then sex would be over and she wouldn't get hers.

He could most probably be a very nice man - however, I sincerely doubt a nice man would speak of women in this manner.

A nice man doesn't need to broadcast he is a nice man, it is shown/proven by his actions.

I personally used to consider myself a nice guy until I figured out that you can be a nice guy without being a complete pushover. Like you can still be nice and everything like that, just to a point, too much and it can be kind of annoying to the girl, but too little and she'll feel like you don't care for her. There's got to be a perfect balance that can only be achieved through first hand experience.

"Nice guys" don't make the cut because a lot of the ladies out there mistake being an "asshole" with being "confident". That's why you'll always see them with the greaseball in the stained wifebeaters driving the late-seventies Firebird time and time again, and they're getting the stuffing beaten out of them the whole time.

The only time the "Nice guys" come into play is when they need someone to pay the bills ("need more stability my life" is the most common excuse), or they need the "nice guy" to act as surrogate daddy for the kids fathered by the late-seventies driving greaseball mentioned previously, if not both.

What's the remedy, you ask? Don't take their crap, and be vocal about it. When they try to song-and-dance you as far as why you AREN'T the one for them, tell 'em to go choke on a tire. They aren't worth your time, and make that point as clear as can be to them.

I am truly a nice guy. But I am still alone. I think that women have been hurt so much by guys who claimed to be nice, and then weren't, that the true nice guys are often written off as liars. There is no other way to prove I am a nice guy than to show it in person, because anyone can SAY anything, and if there is not even one woman left today who will take the risk and find out for herself, I, and many other genuine nice guys like me, will be forever alone.


Maybe being a nice guy only is not good enough. I think that any person that is nice and has a good or great personality should not have too much of a problem finding dates. That has been my experience.

sometimes nice guys do finish last at first, because when us girls are young and dumb we find those bad boys soo attractive for some stupid reason and then get burned and hopefully wise up and start seeking out the nice ones and hopefully it's not too late!!

In my experience which isnt all that much I see that nice guys only think theyre nice. Mostly they are just guys that leave all the thinking for the girl and they make none of the decisions.

Nice guys don't finish last.

Losers finish last.

Nice guys finish where they want to be, have the nads to go, and the desire to get there.

From what I have seen guys that claim the title 'nice guy' are con-punks...

Nice guys are. They have no need to claim the title it is theirs by right of action.

AMEN BROTHER:) Well Said!!!

Nice guys dont finish last. Girls want nice guys. The problem with the nice guys is that they are down on themselves or are not confident . Women see those nice guys as boys not men. Also nice guys go for girls who aren't their type. If your a computer geek more than likely you wont attract a girl or women who is well put together bc of their standards. It can happen but guys tend to go for girls who are out of their league. So find a women who has things in common with you who would be attracted to you physically and mentally and show her that u are in charge.
