Nice guys don't finish last. Shy guys do, if they even finish at all.

So you're saying that the CEO of a Fortune 500 company should be timid and easily scared instead of being confident because confidence is overrated and you shouldn't focus a lot on it?

I just had the playback in my head about how that would go.

Tim Cook: "Introducing the new iPhone 7!"
Reporter: "Did you fix the Apple Maps issue?"
Tim Cook: "I'm only a man, okay?! GOSH! STOP CRITICIZING ME!" *runs and hides*
A lot of people dont even know what confidence is. People mistake arrogance for confidence and completely overlook any confidence someone actually has just because they are insecure or something. Self esteem is not confidence. Confidence and self esteem are meaningless in a relationship if the person is not caring, or considerate as well so those qualities are above it.

You cant use business example for dating when dating someone is not a business deal. Also someone's level of confidence does not indicate their actual skill level or quality either anyway. Look up the Dunning-Kruger Effect.


I took it at face value. I wasn't even trying to get them both to match up.
Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit.

I don't know for sure that "nice guys" exist.

It's just anecdotal evidence, but all of the guys I've gotten to know who have had bad dating experience for being what they call "too kind" have simultaneously shown their prickly and misogynistic side while using that very phrase.
It's people who pretend to be nice and aren't good at it that "finish last".

The term "finish last" itself likens the whole thing to a race, which, if you ask me, just isn't very nice to begin with.
