You’ve never hurt someone you’ve cared about. You’re not rude, you don’t break promises, and you basically go out of your way to make women happy. Though in spite of all this, you can’t seem find a relationship that works. Finally, giving up on all other reasons for your failure, you decide this:

‘Nice guys’ finish last. They always have and they probably always will. This fact has nothing to do with the ‘nice guys,’ but it has to do with the women of the world.

With this in mind, I have looked into the whole nice guy problem and have come to the conclusion that in order to get your well-deserved chance in the dating world, you have to learn to have fun in the general world.
