I don't think I've ever stated that I believe "good guys finish last". That statement implies that bad guys finish first, and I don't believe that's true. But then, I might be misreading your use of the second person here. Are you talking about me specifically, the "other side" generally, or yourself subconsciously? I'd like to know.
It's been my experience that, in this wild world, overt and broad-stroked
displays of sensitivity and compassion are normally the reserve of those who desperately want to be loved in return. Telling someone you love them is very easy if you don't really mean it. I don't think anyone here would consider those people to be "good guys", or even necessarily "bad guys" either. They're just people, Soph, they won't hurt you.

What do you think I have to gain from being sweet and nice to you? Also, are you asking if I've had bad experiences with women because you forgot I'm a homo, or because you remembered and thought it would give you some easy ammo?

There's nothing I can say that will shake your belief that you've drawn this astute observation from anywhere other than the "I'm Rubber And You're Glue" School of Psychobabble, is there?
EDIT: oh, also, "permeate" doesn't need "into" after it. Not picking holes, just always keen to help out a fellow wordsmith!
