Nice Guys Finish Last

|
I set Yahoo! as my homepage. Thus, whenever I online, I get to see what new around the world, or whatever interesting fact or topic featured for the day. Last night, there's a very intriguing one, it's about why good guys are not our (girls') first choice in finding a partner.

Why is it that good guys always lose to jackasses? Haven't us girls learn that these cocky guys can't be trusted and bound to hurt us in the end? Why they keep getting the girls? Why is it the main male characters in movies & TV shows are naughty, rebel, rule-breakers? Can you name a movie where the leading male character is a total square person? Even Jim Carrey's character in "Yes Man" became a rebel in the end.

I, myself, are just like one of the girls. My favorite male fictional characters are Edward Cullen from "Twilight" and Chuck Bass from "Gossip Girl". As you may know, they're the two dangerous guys in their own story. Edward is a vampire, while Chuck is.. Chuck Bass. I'm positively sure that I'm not the only one in love with these two characters. Heck! They have their own fan clubs all around the world. I want to mention a good guy character, and ask if he has his own fan club. But I can't seem to think of one.

I always use the reason "he's too nice" on guys. From the article, there's a few possibilities that a guy can be too nice:

#1 - He's so nice. He can only be friends.
A good friend is hard to fine. It is true that us girls want to be friend before we take it to another level. Sometimes after a while of dating, it turns to awkward phase, because you started off friends. You're bound to meet him everywhere, since you have the same social circle & all. Maybe you'll be able to recover and remain buddies. But is it worth the risks?

#2 - He's so nice. He's not challenging enough.
Just like some guys, girls love the thrill of the chase. Sometimes a little too much. We love to wonder, the element of surprise, the excitement of not knowing. "He likes me; He likes me not". The game is not a one player-game; its two-player. Just like the guys, we do like that we've won someone over, instead of him give himself to us. Things that are easily acquired, obtained, or maintained, without any effort or sacrifices, lack values. That's just human nature.

#3 - He's so nice. He'll always be there.
Yeah, we do take things for granted sometimes. They're always available, they'll do anything you ask them to. By doing so, they made themselves appear needy, desperate and insecure. Without realising it, they've stripped themselves of any value in our eyes. Being too eager to please, girls will conclude them as being the jealous and controlling type. We won't value them as much as they value themselves. We'll still look for someone more worthy, more confident, more valuable. We enjoys keeping them as friends, because in the back of our minds, we know we'll be able to turn them later. They're great as rebound.

#4 - He's TOO nice. You can't trust him.
Ha-ha. This is true sometimes. If you are just too nice, too perfect, it'll make girls suspicious. You see it in movies all the time. The guy comes into the girl's life, he's everything she wants, just absolutely perfect. Then he slowly turns into a psycho freak. We believe that everyone has a dark secret. Nobody's perfect. And you come to our life, perfect as ever, obviously we'll be snooping around for your skeletons in your shiny white polished closet.
