Society today has given nice guys a bad rap, and it's all too valid when people say that nice guys finish last. I am an old-fashioned girl and when I see that chivalry is diminishing, it breaks my heart.
Why is it that when a man opens a car door for a woman or gives them flowers, they are inevitably identified as a nerd that women want to shun? Why do women gravitate toward dark and dangerous men who treat them horribly, when a good guy is right under their nose?
I recently met Kevin, a decent looking man in his twenties, who is equally familiar with this subject. As we sat in a local Starbucks sipping our triple shot espressos and talking about our past relationships, I brought up the subject of why nice guys finish last. His response certainly caught me off guard. "I gave up on chivalry a long time ago," Kevin said with an undeniable tone of contempt in his voice.
"When I would open a door for a girl, or bring her flowers on the first date, I couldn't even get a thank you. After numerous attempts to be chivalrous with different woman, I decided to try a different approach. I swore in front of my date, made her pay for half the meal, and didn't even bother to hold the door open for her.
Would you believe that by acting this way I earned a second date?" It goes to show that nice guys are a dying breed. Personally, I would never give a guy the time of day if he swore in front of me on the first date.
These days, fewer women seem to care about uncivilized men getting away with their actions. Regrettably, women only see what's on the outside instead of what's in the inside first, and it can lead to consequence. Studies show that three of out ten women will end up in an abusive relationship. Don't let yourself become a statistic.
Women can raise chivalry from the dead and all it takes is a few simple actions. When a man opens the car door for you, be courteous and say thank you, and when you are eating out at a restaurant, don't answer your cell phone. Additionally, showing a random act of kindness on your end also lets nice guys know that they are appreciated.
In my book, nice guys don't finish last, they are just overlooked.
