I think a lot of Nic Guy behaviour is the result of people trying to find romance by following "the rules" without really stopping to think about what they're trying to do or even why they're doing it.
Stated another way, I think it's about them trying to follow the LETTER of the rules and ignoring the SPIRIT, either because they're being willfully ignorant or because they're actually too clueless to understand the real spirit.
