Five Reasons Why Nice Guys Finish Last

Everyone has heard it before, nice guys finish last. Ladies, we want the best of both worlds. We want to be treated with respect, but have our limits pushed. We want to win the boy, but work for it a little. And we want to have the nice guy, but who is a bad ass all at the same time.

The idea that a significant other cares about you and that you can always have someone to depend on makes you feel loved and wanted. The feeling of love is amazing, obviously nice guys who treat you like a princess will offer this to you on a platter. So why do nice guys finish last if they make us feel frican amazing?

1. They are too easy.

Nice guys are the ones who are constantly texting you "hey" and asking you how your test went and wondering how you're doing and blah blah blah... Mystery is sexy, and that is one quality that nice boys do not have.

2. It gets boring.

Don't you ever want to get in a little fight? Nice boys don't, that's for sure! They don't want to make you feel sad, but is there such a thing as too perfect of a relationship?

3. They aren't risky.

Girls love adventures...and risk takers. We want to do something fun and crazy with someone we love. We don't want to go sit down at a restaurant and talk about school or what we had for dinner last night. We want to go to a roller derby tournament or on a spontaneous road trip five states away for absolutely no reason.

4. You want what you can't have...

And nice guys give you everything you want. Why? Because they're nice guys! They are wrapped around our little finger. But, we don't want them easily accessible. We want to wonder why they aren't talking to us, what they are doing, who else they are talking too.

5. We want to be the girl who changes them.

Every jerk has an ex-girlfriend who made them that way. Nice guys clearly have zero to little experience with girlfriends or romances. Why? Because they are nice, therefore someone has never broken their heart. The sad truth: every nice guy ends up getting friend zoned.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
