sorry, some of you do not understand . Made simple:1. Say, you make $800.00 extra dollars--2. You then give 8 families $100.00 dollars each.--3.But, you then can not give any more out for two weeks.-- POINT IS: some that will have to wait two weeks, are un-happy. & un-kind.

Guess, i thought some of you would understand.--Being made to feel bad even though you are doing much good , for others.(and doing it not for the praises of others, or, for any other reason--than just helpping your fellow man.)

what would you-all say?? I consider myself nice, but have been treated very unkind in many places, for helpping out older folks in need.
ive been nice all my life but does it seem the mean people have more friends and more fun

IMO it feels that way because the nice ones care...those that aren't nice couldn't care less so it doesn't bother them

I too am a nice man and treat all with respect and have compassion for people suffering but I seem to always finish last in the dating and love department. I have studied the relationships of my friends and myself to try and get a handle on what women want in a man but have come up empty in my endeavors. It seems,thru my studies and inquiries, women seem to stay with the guys that are abusive and also bad boys.any answers guys and gals

Yes -<---this is a dash. On your headstone; they usually put the date you where born then, this dash, then the date you died. (This dash ,is the life you lived. (Please , consider that.)

You cannot be "made" to feel anything. You react to the actions of others, and you choose to feel bad. You could go the opposite way and choose to ignore those who are acting like that.

POINT is: I do not feel bad for helpping people out. I feel good!(Poor lady, yes, you do not understand.)

Hmmmmm, I think it's you that doesn't understand. You posted the thread asking if nice guys finish last, and stating that people try to make you feel bad for doing so. I merely pointed out that no one can "make" you feel anything. So, it's your choice.

I honestly think you want more people to give you more awards for helping people. Thats not what its all about when you help someone. If you want to feel really good about yourself, go to a nursing home and sit and talk to an elderly patient there. Do you realize how many people bring their mother or father there and never come back to visit? So you want to do a good deed..go visit someone!! But I promise you might not get a pat on the back, but it will make your heart feel good...isn't that what its all about?

ok I didnt actually read all of the post before this...i just read the begining. I would like to point out that this saying "Nice guys finish last" was started by the guys that always got the girls that arent looking for nice guys. Girls say that are looking for nice guys, however most arent the ones that nice guys want...remember that the least suspected girl is the girl you usually want.

sorry just alittle tidbit from the archives of Mike "the nice guy"

No. Women just don't want the self proclaimed nice guy, as they usually aren't a nice guy.

well after acting the part of the quiet nice guy for over 5 years I think professing your niceness is better than sitting back and getting run over by everyone else.
