Popping in via deyo... friend moominmolly made a great point:
I think that people who complain that Chicks Only Dig Nice Guys are explicitly playing with this dual meaning -- they don't get attention because they're pushovers, i.e. "nice", and then they complain that women don't like them because they're friendly, i.e. "nice". It's a dirty trap, and I've always found it manipulative. This is what I was trying to clarify above, by saying that "nice" had many different components.
