Do nice guys often, if not always, finish last?

Because after my recent debacle I think it's time to reassess my stubborn adherence to my beliefs after 10 years worth of constant failure.

Nice and observant. I know oblivious/absent-minded people that always try to be nice but they do not finish last. They still prioritize themselves first. It's not intentional. It's just that other people do not have a place in their mind.

I'm not a nice person but I am quite sensitive to environment and fine details in people. It's quite easy to notice other people who are observant and kind. Those people and I think very alike. Everything we do, we think of how it will affect everyone else. Except they decide to be nice put others ahead of themselves and I decide to be comparably more selfish.

They finish last because very few people are observant enough to even notice a genuinely kind person. They only pick up the artificial/forced generosity people like to pretend to have. They give more than they get, so it's natural they get the shorter end of the stick.

In my book nice guys don't finish last. That is if they practice genuine kindness. I find that a lot of the guys who claim to be "Nice guys" tend to be very self-centered. They always complain about what is effecting them, whilst not even paying attention to other people. That or they are so self-entitled I can't be bothered to be around them. I've had so called nice guys turn into some of the worst abusers ever. Then after beating me, and dump me. They turn around and say "Why can't I find the right woman. I am a nice guy." As for true nice guys, I've never met one. Though I if I did, and he didn't look down on me and accepted me for everything that I was. I would be intensily loyal to them.

I'm looking for an English word....

It sounds along the like 'wave', 'wage' or 'weight' or something like that. But it means to either approve or rid a certain status.

Anyone know a word like that

Are you referring to the word "waive"?

Depends what you're talking about, but it definitely seems that as I get older, niceness and kindness are overrated. The top leaders of business, industry, and politics are quite often self-absorbed and some could even say sociopathic. Aggressiveness and confrontational personalities, when coupled with the right amount of skill, can bring you much further, on average, then an equally skilled, selfless individual. That's just the cruel reality of this world. We aren't as far removed from 'survival of the fittest' as one would hope.

No. You can choke yourself easier and food needs to be chewed before you swallow it. It's easier for the stomach to break it down. Unless you mean snorting chewed food. Then what the fuac

You also don't taste the food. Tasting food gives your brain signals both to prepare your body for digestion, and also pleasure for eating delicious things.

I know you can become wasted instantly for sniffing alcohol over a Bunsen burner. University dorm people try funny things.

I have got an outbreak of rashes on my legs again.....went to see a doctor and she told me to shave my legs before applying topical cream. The last time I had this, I didn't have to; this lady doctor told me it is for hygiene reasons. Do I really have to shave them?

Now those hairless limbs look so......girly.

It's more of dirty than being healthy or not...

There is the potential that some of that food/liquids may end up in your lungs which may cause pneumonia. So yeah...

Ah...sorry about that, guess I should've originally mentioned foods that really didn't have to be chewed. Like noodles (at least not too long in length) or ice cream.
Opposed to as you mentioned, snorting chewed food (eww...)

Well that's not a good outcome.

Anyway, thanks for the answers!

Body hair is a paradise for small bacteria and things that desperately want to claw you open and slurp all the soft juices inside and poop in the claw marks to make it even more tasty. So yes... shaving the legs before applying medicine is a good idea.

Try this experiment --- shave your armpits before applying deodorant. Nearly all men will find their armpits stink much less and the deodorant lasts much longer. Far fewer bacteria farting in the area, so to speak.

The proper question though is was the lady doctor a cute loli... if so, then it doesn't *matter* why she says to do it

^ So that's why my deoderant never works.

My leg hair isn't very thick in the first place to start with. But she says that the prescription is for 2 weeks.

Meanwhile, I have to keep shaving, and keep cutting those scabs running the razor over my legs.

She's just a plain Jane who is actually good at pronouncing drugs, or I am wondering if she is showing off as a kuudere. My reaction (jokingly) was, "Wait, I am supposed to shave that off? That is my man pride!", and she said, "It is not like you will turn into a girl shaving that off. That is why you see ladies rarely get leg rashes."

So how would a guy go about doing that? I'll bet that you don't simply pick up a Gillette and hack away.

Actually... that's exactly what I do (Fusion 5-blade). I wouldn't suggest a rotary electric razor though :P

First time - use scissors to get everything short if that's an issue (or one of those electric straight edge trimmers (the ones with all the various heads).
Apply shaving cream. You might want to use a fresh blade unit? Just like one's face - figure out what directions work best for uneven surfaces.

Gotcha. This was actually bugging me for a while now and I never got 'round to ask
