Today's useless fact - Is it true that nice guys finish last? If so, why?

Not true at all, unless you are in middle school or maybe high school. I was able to meet, hang out with and date some incredibly beautiful women in college using this principle: as long as you treat all women with respect, you will do fine.

In other words, if you find a friend or coworker undesirable for any reason, do not shun her or be rude. Remember that she has friends, and chances are that she will have good looking single friends. Chances are she will be willing to put in a good word for you if you ask.

Girls tend to like the bad boy qualities at certain stages of their lives, but come to realize that is just an empty fantasy sooner or later. Unfortunately, we have to wait patiently until they figure this out.

The one problem with this rationale: some "nice guys" fall into the perpetual trap of feeling sorry for themselves and letting all women know that they are nice guys and can never get the girl of their dreams. This guy will sit at a bar and say to a girl, after buying her a drink, "I just don't get it. I never get any dates. I am a nice guy with a good job and come from a good family. Life is so unfair." At that point, the girl thinks, "what a loser, I'm outta here." Girls don't want to hear guys whine about their horrible dating adventures. Then the guy will have even less self confidence the next time he talks to a new acquaintance. Go out, be yourself, and let your actions do the talking for you!
