Why The Nice Guy Will Always Win

When you’re in high school, and sometimes the first couple of years of college, girls always go for the jerk. I don’t know why, and no other girl does either, but it happens. We can’t explain it, that’s just how life works.

During the years of high school and college, we fall for the guys that hardly ever text us back, constantly talk to other girls, and are basically just an all around jerk. However, this phase will not last, and if it does, get some help. Eventually, between the ages of 20 and 23-ish, girls realize that they are worth so much more than the guy that treats them like dirt. Around this age, most of us are looking to find something permanent; someone that we can settle down with in years to come. And, this is why the nice guy will always win.

Once a girl gets to an age where she realizes she deserves to be treated better than she has been treated in the past, it's time to start looking for the nice guy, instead of falling for a jerk. Once she finds the right one, she will completely forget about all the guys that treated her horribly in the past, and she won’t ever look back. And why would she? She has a guy she loves and one that treats her great too! It’s not realistic to imagine spending the rest of your life with the guy that treats you badly. If you're dealing with a guy who can't stay committed to you for longer than a couple of weeks, who always makes you cry, or who's loyalty you constantly question, then it’s time for you to look for the nice guy.

To the boys who act this way toward a girl, eventually she will realize she can do better, and she will leave you. A future with you won’t be realistic. So if you really want to be with this girl, be the guy that she deserves. The nice guy is the one that treats a girl with respect, is loyal and committed, and will always make sure his girl is happy. When she finds a guy with these qualities, she will know that she has found the person that she can have a future with. Girls might not act like it in the beginning, but we want a man that we can count on, one we can picture marrying and having children with. If we have to worry about loyalty now, odds are that when it’s time to settle down and build a life, you won't be the first pick. Instead of worrying about being cool, or worrying about getting all the girls, worry about the girl that you actually care about and actually want to be with. Everyone says nice guys always lose, but you heard it here first, that is not the case. In the end, nice guys will always win.

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.
