What a nice guy really is:

However, what they do is go over the top.

They will use every tool they have (money, for example) to get what they want. If they don't receive the attention they feel they deserve, that's when they start revealing who they really are.

After “nice guy” entitlement, see if you’re the jerk for questioning a brother’s girlfriend at a reunion: new girlfriend intentions at the family reunion.
