The only time the phrase "nice guy" should be applied is when discussing ice hockey ("Nice guys finish last" - Scotty Bowman). In discussions of relation- ships between the sexes, the proper form is "niceguybut" as in "You're SUCH a nice guy, but...". Anyone care to guess how many times that kiss off line has been used??
