Any time I've seen it, the term "Nice Guy" is used to refer to the kind of whining cumbag who thinks all he has to do is "be nice", and the women he thinks he's entitled to will leap into bed with him. He sees dating as something akin to a videogame, where if he clears all the levels (Make Eye Contact, Buy Her Dinner, Avoid Staring At Her Boobs) and pushes the buttons in the right order, he'll get to score.
But when this doesn't happen (because women are human beings and have, you know, minds), the "Nice Guy" runs to his blog and rails against women and how they all want bad boys who treat them like shit, because here he is, Nice as Can Be, and the bitches won't open their legs for him. He never understands that he's striking out because he's only acting nice. He doesn't want to be with a woman because of who she is. He wants to be with her because he wants status/a caregiver/something to stick his dick in every night. Us girls pick up on that.
That's what's meant by "Nice Guy". We use that term because that's how these guys describe themselves while they're writing their bitter, entitled, misogynistic rants. It's not their "nice", outward behaviour that earns them the label; it's the juxtaposition of their protests that they're nice with their shitty attitudes towards women.
