Nope, PASSIVE guys finish last. Guys who let women walk all over them, have no backbone, and don't demand what they want or aren't assertive enough to go get what they want, yet instead sit around waiting for what they want to come to them; they are the ones who finish last.

I've seen plenty of nice, ASSERTIVE guys who are far from finishing last

Agreed. I have no problems with being assertive/persistent. I guess the women I date ultimately turn out to be immature regardless of how intelligent or well put together they look.

I used to go for the bad boys. It's that idea that they are more confident than nice boys, which is a common misconception.

After several years of getting burned I decided to make the switch, but only with nice guys who were confident, who knew what they wanted.

I like a guy who will treat me like a queen and respect me, but be man enough to lay down the law when I go too far.

Bingo! Assertive is definitely what I look for in a guy 🙂
