Hello everyone, I have an open question. Honestly, do nice guys finish last?

I had a friend once & she told me that the current boyfriend in her life was not really supposed to be 'the one'.
You see, what happened was she had like two 'toasters' at the same time. The first was a cool, gentle, quiet guy who'd rather watch and study her for a while, deciding to pick one right time and moment to tell her how he felt about her, indulging in buying her roses, chocolates & what have you, sharing jokes with her. But ma guy who came second was louder, more 'whats-up' kinda guy & perhaps bolder. He quickly took his chance and asked her out on a proper date & before we knew it, a relationship blossomed. This no.1 guy has now slackened to the background.

I am wondering, do nice guys really finish last?
