Descriptive Essay About Nice Guy

1098 Words5 Pages

Definition of a “Nice Guy” Most men, young and old, have been subjected to or at least have heard the phrase “nice guys finish last.” So, what does that mean? Worst-case scenario, it means you have come to a realization that you will never be in a relationship with the girl you want.

You may be a smart man, but if the dumb man can be flirtatious and win a girl’s heart first, you lose. You may be good looking, but if the ugly guy can make a girl laugh and win her heart, you lose. Finally, you may be a nice guy, but if the bad guy acts on the opportunity to be with the girl first, you
