Nice Guys Do Finish Last
As a general rule, nice guys finish last. Not to say they necessarily finish worst, though. We can, for the sake of debate, agree to the universally accepted definition of a nice guy versus that of the universally accepted definition of one that is more crude in all the ways that will make the two polar opposites. In other words, no need to get stuck on the semantics of what a nice guy is.

There certainly is some truth to the old adage. However, and this is an important distinction, you don't have to be a nice guy to be a good man. And a good man does not have to finish last. In fact, not all nice guys are good men.

 Hmm...now I am curious as to the defining characteristics of a nice guy versus a good man. I'm assuming you meant a good man as a provider and a father, but not necessarily a nice guy as in kind and funny.

That's BS. I say nice guys finish first in the long run.

Eh, I could go either way on this one, seeing as how I am considered one of those "nice guys." I remember the bad boys in school getting all the girls because the girls wanted to be treated like poo; these girls didn't appreciate the nice guys until they were older and were looking for something a little more stable. The way I look at it though is that nice guys start off really friggin' slow, but eventually win the race...sort of like the tortoise and the hare. Slow n' steady baby!

You also have to realize that some of the nice guys responding to this debate are still in the race, which means they will believe that nice guys do in fact finish last, when they have not finished yet.

 Yes yes, and my comment was about a specific type of nice guy, the ones trying to get the girls. I limited my reply to that for some reason...
