Nice guys finish last, but isn't it supposed to last?

Simple question...

It's often said that "Nice guys finish last." with an implied negative connotation.

But isn't it supposed to last? 15 minutes is better than 2 minutes, isn't it?

I'm always amazed st people who don't read the details of a question, and when they do, they still do not get the subtle meaning.

The cream always rises to the top. Nice guys never finish last.

Nice guys finish last because guys who are not nice always take advantage when it comes to girls.
