Nice guys continue to finish last

Senior year in high school I dated this guy who was really good to me and a really nice guy but he just wasn't my penguin. I am destined to rule the world and he just wasn't ambitious enough for me. He was perfectly nice though.

So nice that after we broke up and he started dating a different girl and got her pregnant (although she was a little bit loose so I'm not 100 percent sure the child is his) he married her because that's the right thing to do (the wrong thing to do would be to tell her you'll drive her to the abortion clinic). See how nice he is?

Anyways because he is so nice, I feel really bad about saying this, but by definition he is a loser ex. And lucky for me my best friend from high school still keeps tabs on him and updates me on his life. Apparently he is now working at the Panera Bread across the street from her office. I told you he had no ambition. But the thought of him actually working to support his family (as opposed to saying "I'll drive you to the abortion clinic" four years ago) is really touching for some reason.

But it does drive home the point that nice guys really do finish last and that's sad. I'm still not going to date a professed nice guy though (not that sad).
