Good Guys Start Slow

Dear Harlan,

I don't want to believe this, but I believe good guys finish last. Please state why this is not true.

Dear Anonymous,

Great letter. Some good guys finish last, but the ones who can stay good tend to finish first. Let me explain:

The majority of good guys finish last NOT because they are good guys, but because they rarely are good guys who also can express their feelings. They confuse being good with being passive. They don't understand that you can still be a good guy and be assertive, determined, articulate and aggressively pursue women. Another problem with being a good guy is that not all women like to be treated nicely. Some like to be treated like garbage. As a result, good guys will frequently get rejected. (Note: all guys get rejected, but the good guys take it harder and blame it on being a good guy.) As women get older and get more comfortable in their skin, many realize that being treated nicely is a good thing and they want a good guy. The problem is that a lot of the good guys go bad after not being appreciated by women soon enough. But the good guys who manage to stay good and can be assertive, determined, articulate and aggressively pursue women will find an endless supply of women who want to be pursued.

So, to sum this up, some good guys finish last, but the patient ones will finish first and live the majority of their lives in the front of the pack.
