Kaya 959 Point of View with Phemelo Motene

LETS TALK RELATIONSHIPS: Has being Mr nice guy worked well for your marriage?

Loading player...
Maybe the saying nice guys finish last applies to dating when you’re young. It always seemed that girls always went for a certain type of guy. The same guy that hurts her and disappoints her but she always went back to him. She turned to her guy friend who was always there without hesitation. The same guy who respected her. The same guy who loved her.
I think a lot of nice guys have a similar story of their greatest flaw being that they were too nice and some girls didn’t fall for it.


But in time, as girls grew up they got tired of being unhappy with the people they choose. They grow up and they learn. Instead of going for the same type of guy that hurts them every time, they take a chance on a nice guy.
