Single In The City: “Why DO Nice Guys Finish Last?”
Clark Kent says: I got to remember that in my old age I have to write the thoughts in my head down or else I won’t remember it when I get home. I did see something that made me go hmm, though, so… I have a question to ask. Find out what it is after the jump.
“Why do nice guys finish last?”
I’ve heard that ever since high school – “Nice guys finish last!” Is there some secret that the assholes know that the Ralph Tresvants of the world don’t? I saw on WorldStarHipHop.com — an episode of Divorce Court where the wife divorces her husband because he was “too nice.”
Is that even legal? [Insert iSarcasm] I thought that bitches liked romance? Watch below to see what I’m talkin’ ’bout:
Jacked up, right? Did you see the same thing I did? Living in New York, I’ve seen how tough of a face gets worn by men and women who walk around on the daily. [Sidenote: While writing this I pondered another thought... Is it still cool to be in a gang with a black president in office or am I just being an ass?] That essence starts conversations and it even starts conflicts… but I’ve seen where love has definitely conquered all and the only thing tough was coming up with ideas to keep your mate happy.
Take for instance my South African friends. They’ve been Bonnie & Clydin’ it up for a minute and they don’t show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Very beautiful people with a humor that not only keeps their love life entertaining, but makes everyone around feel like family. But I’ve also seen a girl straight chew her dude out, yelling, “Why you keep fuckin’ them birds?!” repeatedly and loudly. But after a few more shouts calms down and confesses, “You better be glad I love you,” driving off in the process.
I remember being told that I was “too nice.” I guess there’s a limit to how much you put into a relationship. In the end, when I was giving that death sentence phrase, it changed me. I stopped really going for the gusto when it came down to being “nice” to a woman I “like”. And while being that way may have had it’s pros and cons, I have to say that I’m still baffled with why nice guys supposedly finish last. Homeboy may have been with a trout but unless he wasn’t knocking the ball out the park, she should’ve honored her vows, if you dig what I’m sayin.
Clark Kent says: Ladies, what do you think? Why do nice guys finish last? Share your thoughts!

[...] TD: While I personally love my friends I am very careful with whom I tell the intimate details of my life. Sadly, haters come in all forms, shapes, and sizes — after all a hater is someone who loves you, but their energy has just been misdirected. I would suggest to anyone that while it’s nice to discuss your relationship with someone close to you just need to be wary especially when speaking in haste of the person you love. You never know what might come back to bite you. [Laughs] I am just selective with whom I talk to, and what I talk about, thankfully my man happens to be my very best friend. [...]

nice guys take shit. bad men do not. idk but that's the simplest answer i can come up with seeing as society has deemed your question very broad making it almost impossible to answer. almost...
Girls love it when bad men don't take no shit...?
i think with time, lessons, and maturity, the nice guy comes out on top. from my experience -- "the bad guy" thing gets old after a while. when you look toward a lasting relationship, free of drama, a nice guy is what you need. but some females love drama.. love to be ON etc etc... messin' around with her, he definitely WILL finish last. it's all about where you're at in life. i didnt watch the full clip but clearly that lady has major baggage!!! a good man/ a nice guy doesnt deserve to carry all of that
Hmmm....Having gone through my bad boy phase, I can honestly see where you are coming from. I did get so pissed off when I watched that video though. She had what most women dream about and don't get and f**ked it up. Not only for herself, but for other women; the ones he'll be with in the future and the ones whose man will watch that and think that is what women want, a man who doesn't do all of that. I know that I can speak for quite a few women when I say don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch. There are women out there who not only want a good man, can reciprocate and be a good woman to him.
and no it isn't cool to be in a gang with a Black President in office.
Nice guys finish last if they go for immature girls. When I was younger I definitely went for assholes. As I'm maturing I notice that I see thru the crap and kick the nonesense to the curb. Maybe the nice guys should shoot for a different type of woman...
im gonna tell it like it is..nice guys are like nice girls...and they have to wait for the right girl to come along and just the same for ladies.. now you can fail the test and become an asshole or a bitch like most people do or you can stick it out and wait for mr/mrs. right and eventually they will show up(mostly when you least expect it) but most nice guys and nice females have a sweet thing called patience and not much ppl have that anymore so that is the ugly truth..love it..or hate it...
