Okay, so I have known some genuinely nice guys who can't seem to get dates. In fact, that description fits a fair number of my closest friends. But you know what? Absolutely none of them, to my knowledge, have trouble getting dates because they're too nice.

I know one or two people who really need to get this tattooed in reverse lettering on their foreheads. In particular, one person I'm thinking of who rants and raves about how women don't want nice guys, when the real issue is his lack of confidence and negative attitude, and the bitterness about how all women make horrible choices of partner (because they don't choose him) really doesn't help his image...
