No one to depend on

That is a damn good, solid analysis.

Hence why nice guys finish last.

Girls want to date the alpha male. It's a biological fact. They want the guy that seems to have dominance over others in his peer group. This isn't necessarily a conscious decision, it's something that operates just below surface consciousness.

Human platonic relationships assemble themselves in a much similar fashion. Males and females sort of stratify themselves amongst their peers, the alpha male domineering (sometimes "asshole") personalities tend to attract others of the same. So, the other less forceful personalities tend to group together, thus establishing a "pecking order."

Although, this is a very basic description of an increasingly complex system, which is based on series upon series of interactions.

While, yes, nice people are comforting to be around, because you feel that you're not in contention with them. That they pose no threat to your social status. However, because we're not really living in a primal state, being amiable and showing compassion is often mistaken, even today by the subconscious mind, for weakness.
