The "nice guy" is often a person who is too respectful of space and boundaries to take a chance at an unwanted advance... he's not going to attempt to assert his presence on a female. Which get's into a whole other slew of moral dilemnas, because if that's the schema going on in the Nice Guy's head, he's kind of bought into the "women as resources" concept.
Alternatively, the over-respect for space and boundaries originates from buying into "males must stop being evil oppressors" that (thankfully) is getting a lot less play these days.
