    with certain qualifiers, yes.

    nice guys are usually nice because they are insecure (if we're talking about the stereotypical nice guy) they're pretending to be chivalrous, they're pretending to be decent.

    REALLY nice guys are actually decent.

    and there is a decision node on the far side of overcoming insecurity (internalizing your locus of control to an extent, as completely doing so makes you a prick, and an idiot, realizing your strengths, and value, etc.)

    Nice guys don't believe that you like them for the reasons you like them (perhaps they are attractive, or intelligent or funny) they only think you like them because they are putting in so much damn effort.

    that effort is of course their undoing. as they don't do anything for themselves, and so, have no depth.

    I play with tannerite, sterno, gasoline with styrofoam dissolved, and kerosene.

    I'd never considered mentioning it as a pickup line.

    That is because as we mature we all get a lot less stupid.

    I try to dispense what little wisdom I've accrued, but no one ever listens, as they hold it against me that I'm proud of being intelligent.

    it's like being proud of being white, everyone assumes there is something wrong with it, or that it isn't genuine (To be fair, I'm actually a bit ashamed of being white, we're motherfuckers, and it's made getting financial aid a pain in the ass)

    i like really nice guys, because i look like a total bad ass by comparison... when in fact, i'm just eccentric with a hot streak.

    Nah, being proud of something you had no say in makes no sense at all. Like saying im so proud to have brown hair. I'm not proud to be white but I'm proud of what my white ass has accomplished.

    oh and I am a nice guy (depending on who you ask). sometimes it got me laid sometimes not. I guess not using nice as a tool to get laid helps.
