Any guy who thinks he is entitled to a girlfriend/wife/lover etc. by definition isn't a nice guy. IMO nice guys represent qualities the brain thinks it want's but are missing what the heart needs. It takes some mental gymnastics for guys who represent neither what the female brain desires nor heart needs to convince themselves they are nice guys.
