In life, you don't have to be an ***hole to come first…
“In life, you don't have to be an ***hole to come first, however it is true what they say, nice guys finish last. Why is this true? It is true because nice guys will complement but won't tell a woman what she DOESN't want to hear. He will always try to do what benefits not just himself but the people around him. He will tell the truth but not the parts where he will make someone feel bad. And lastly he will say everything is fantastic when he is in the gutter just to stop anyone worrying about him because he would feel guilty. Why is it true that nice guys finish last? They'll want to know what he thinks, good or bad. He will spend so much time doing what's best for others that he wont do whats best for him. He will not make someone feel bad when saying the truth because he doesn't want to cause harm, but not saying the whole truth makes him go crazy because he is dying to ask/say something.”
