User blog comment:Mrdaimion/Rant: Why Nice Guys Finish Last/@comment-4353921-20120702020549

I've actually heard this saying, and I've also heard people add to it by saying, "Nice guys finish last, and then serve you breakfast in bed." :)

My view has always been that "nice guys" are helpful gentlemen, and that they finish (whatever) last because they're busy thinking about everyone else. "Bad boys" only care about themselves, so they'll do anything to finish first.

I never liked "bad boys" much, although they always seemed to be having big adventures. Of course in school, that meant you'd hear about their adventures with the police over the weekends, too. Not my scene.

I could hang out with the "nice boys" at their houses with friends, and we could be study partners, too. They were fun and we could joke around and be friends. "Bad boys" never seemed to want to do well scholastically, and seemed to enjoy being in trouble.

Nice guys get married. Bad boys probably won't.
