Do nice guys really finish last?
It seems the case - but do they finish last because or in spite of their personality?

Lee, evolution got a huge jolt with women emancipation . Since then, the momentous progress of the fairer sex in all fields, literally took away the breath of their male counterparts. Females with the looks, figure and education etc, can opt to play on a decidedly uneven field. The males with the looks, the physique, the intelligence etc might not necessarily possess the social skills to ensnare a date with a comely female. Dating precedes the much more serious issue of hitching up for life. There are numerous factors, mutating all the time, to make boy-girl relationship a pretty dicey one. How does one define a nice guy, btw? It is a subjective perception borne of cultural, religious, sectoral or racial conditioning. Relationships that stand the rigors of time, friction, aging etc, are hardly the norm nowadays. Marriages are no longer sacrosanct. Active senior citizens no longer feel compelled to remain in a loveless union, and marriage vows quickly forgotten. Wise guys do better?

Hi guys, yes it is hard, harder if you're hideous and have absolutely no talent whatsoever. The only talent one has is to stay as still as possible while the women laugh at you for even trying. Okay, let's turn this around and think of the kind of woman you'd like to date. Would you date the woman who knows how so sweet talk or the blunt and ugly one who has nothing to offer?
