That's because nice guys stay behind to make sure everybody else
  finishes the race first! It's the compassionate nature of us
  nice guys that does us in. Get ruthless, uncaring, become a
  -hole and people respect you. Go figure. BUT when you do find
  someone who respects you for being the nice guy and appreciates
  it, then you're golden. Why would you want any of the common
  folk anyhow? "
