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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
