Y'know, revisiting this topic has just made something crystallize in my mind that I think you came among the closest to expressing: Those of us who do like nice guys still don't want guys who aren't anything besides nice. Niceness might be a necessary condition, but isn't a sufficient one--and if a guy's defining characteristic is that he's "nice," that's likely to mean that he isn't anything much besides.
