Recently, I've watched a lot of Youtube videos about nice guys finishing (and not finishing) last for some reason. What are your thoughts?

My take is that people who say that nice guys finish list are usually people who think they're nice guys but really aren't and it is obvious to everyone around them.

You placed this in the politics discussions, so I guess you mean nice guys finish last in elections?

Whatever I doubt there are any nice guys who are into politics, because nice guys are not interested to rule others. And even if there are nice guys, they would probably loose to the not so nice guys. (TV series like "House of cards" and "Scandal" tought me that.)

If you are talking about relationships: no. Guys without confidence and with poor hygiene and manners finish last, and nice guys almost always finish first. If at bare miinimum you have good manners and get a no for an answer well that's not something to be ashamed or blame others about.

If you are talking about work; sometimes, yes. Being nice and considering others in a competitive environment is not really a good idea.

Whoops, must've clicked wrong.

If a mod sees this, can you move this thread to general discussion, please?

In my religion and my way of life philosophy, the last is good depend on how you see it, because life is just a drama. Sometimes you end at the last or end as the winner, and nobody in life beside God can see if the guy who win or loose is good or bad. That's why life is a drama and the final judgement is everything will be reveal

It's not so much that nice guys finish last as it is the 'nice guys' that spout that bullshit tend to be spineless pussies passing the buck because they're too afraid to take a hard look at themselves and work on their own issues.

I'd say both yes and no, for both work and relationships; it's mostly about figuring out which people and jobs suit you and are good for you instead of chasing what you want but can't have.
Nice guys have no luck with a certain kind of girls and certain types of jobs, but "bad boys" also have rotten luck with certain girls and jobs as well, the difference is that the "bad boys" often have the jobs and relationships that are more in your face, leading to the belief that they have vastly superior skills/luck/insight or what have you, into both areas, when in reality they're just better at flaunting it (and have a bigger need to).
Also, the age old belief that "bad boys" are covering up insecurity with behavior patterns holds quite a bit of truth and they actually finish last when it comes to facing this reality and dealing with it and it can severely affect your ability to hold down a job or maintain a relationship.

This thread is about sex, isn't? If yes, then yes, they finish last or don't finish at all.

Um.. good luck with all that judgment and gods and stuff...

Amen.

I'm gonna be honest, the saying "nice guys finish last" pisses me off and it's a piss-poor excuse to cover up someone's fear of failure. All you need in your life is a little damn confidence. There is no "finishing last" there are only relationships and experiences that you were either unprepared for or never meant to be in. And those are the same pitches that life throws everyone!
