This is how it works....

So, this is the truth from a woman's point of view - and all women can gasp and say that it isn't so - but us bitches know better!
It's the age old question for men and women: "Why do nice guys (and girls) finish last?"
Let me tell you why...if you really want to know, then by all means, read on.
Boy meets girl. Girl likes boy because any man that shows interest is worth at least considering, even though women can take one look at a man and know in their hearts whether or not they even stand a shot. It's the attention the woman is getting and we all know that even negative attention is passionate. For the first couple of months, the woman doesn't know when the man will call, when the man will take her out, when the man will make time to introduce her to his friends, and if the man has another love interest. This makes woman crazy, which in turn makes the woman hang by the phone and wait for his call, drop all plans with her friends in case "he" wants to do something and basically rearrange her schedule for him. She no longer goes to yoga class, the weekly scheduled dinner with her girlfriends or anything else that will take her away from her home. Why? Because he could show up at any time. This keeps things interesting (on the woman's part) - not knowing what will happen; the thrill of the chase. They have conversations in which the man exclaims that he is against marriage - to which the woman's wheels start turning: He'll want to marry me because I am different. How could he not want to marry me? He'll change his mind. She then sets the stage for a comedy of errors that more or less make the man aware of the fact that she's desperate and that he can basically do whatever he wants and she will be there waiting. THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE! Why? Because while she's there waiting, lowering herself to doormat status just waiting on him to surface and wipe his feet, she is getting by on whatever little love crumbs he throws her way, proving that she is not worthy of the queen status she deserves. She then calls, emails for texts him constantly thinking that if she really proves that she loves him, he will realize that she is the woman for him and commit to her. She goes out of her way to make the best meals possible and give him the best sex he will ever have! Now we get to "reserve" status - she will always be his reserve woman for those nights when there isn't anything else going on. Why? The thrill of the chase is gone and there isn't anything to keep his attention.
So let's change this story a little. Boy meets girl. Girl likes boy but doesn't really give him the time of day. He calls and she doesn't race to the phone to answer it. Sometimes she will answer and talk for about 10 minutes, but something more important is going on in her life, so she has to cut the conversation short. He calls again and leaves a voice mail; she may or may not call him back - after all, she's a busy girl. He wants to go out on Thursday night, but she couldn't possibly because that is the night she meets her girlfriends for dinner - a date that cannot be broken. He wants to go out tomorrow night - sorry! That's yoga night. He eventually figures out that if he wants to get her out with him, he needs to call in advance, she has a tight schedule. She has her own house, her own career, her own life and way of doing things. He would never think of standing her up or disrepecting her because he knows in his mind that she can and will walk away at any minute because she doesn't need him. This puts into play a different series of events: he respects her and thinks that she is the most amazing woman on the planet. He would never call her at 2 am for a booty call and the thought of someone else touching her makes him crazy. She doesn't answer her cell all the time so he wonders where she is at and works even harder to make sure she's still interested in him.

These observations are true, whether you are the male or the female in the example. So why do nice people finish last? Because it is human nature to want something you cannot have - period. That's the way it has been for our entire existence. Do you want to be the person who waits on someone hand and foot, telling them every 5 minutes how much you love them and would do anything for them? No. Why? Because you will definately be spending a lot of time alone.

Thoughts anyone?
