Are nice guys taken for granted?

I was waiting for a friend yesterday at the MRT station when I bumped into one of my seniors. We had a short chat and he told me that he just had a quarrel with his girlfriend. His girlfriend apparently wanted to focus studying for her exams but seems like she took it too far by refusing to do anything but study cause it breaks her focus even just talking to someone. Furthermore she seems very rude and cold when she replied back to my friend. So now he's trying to ignore her for 2 days. The funny thing is that he was afraid that the temptation to message her was too great, he actually left his phone at home to stop himself from messaging her. He thought that maybe he's been too nice to her that he has been taken for granted for being so attentive to his girlfriend.

He's a really nice person who always get good results in school and has a nice heart.

This has got me thinking, girls wanted attention from us, but when we give our 101% attention to them and being so nice to them, they just take us for granted. It can be vice versa. Just that I observed that these guys tend to be at the losing end of the stick. So are nice guys just desperate last chip for girls who had all the fun already and then when they want to settle down, they go for these types?

"Nice guys finish last". Does it sound good or bad? How come there's no nice girls finish last? What about nice girls? Is it because nice girls are always snapped up really fast or nice girls never finish at all? They just fade away?

it's true that girls have this thing for bad boys.

If your friend doesn't want to break up with the gf, just leave her alone for a few days. Drop her some encouraging sms during her study.

I think that's sweet! :)
