In general (not just dating), do nice guys finish last?

We've all heard the statement that "nice guys finish last", but most people refer to dating/sucess with attracting females when using that cliché statement, but do nice guys finish last in general? Some argue that being nice is bad because people will take advantage of your niceness. Others argue that being nice is vital because it will get people to like you, and the help of others will help you suceed. Do nice guys finish last in business/the world of finance? Do nice guys finish last in dating? Do nice guys finish last in regular, everyday life? You guys also have to remember that a lot of times jerks win (example: Mitt Romney). I'm personally a nice guy and I dislike jerks. There are plenty of arguements for both sides, and I want to see what you guys thing.

No, this is such an MRA thing to say.

Eww...I dislike MRAs a lot. I'm just saying that some argue that being nice will hurt you in life because people can easily take advantage of you (I disagree with this), and I just want to see what you guys think.

Edit: And the opposite/alternative to 'nice guy' is not a 'jerk'. It's literally anything other than 'nice'.

Yeah this is true too. I made a mistake on my last last post.

I think that some people do not understand what I'm trying to ask. I'm asking if nice guys finish last in everyday life, not dating.
