 From what I understand, it's the exact opposite.  It's the jerks and 
frat-boy types that are blatant about 'gaming' women that actually get 
the women, while the 'nice guy' geeks get 'friendzoned'.

...at least, that's the traditional portrayal by pop culture.

It has to do with the nice guy geeks being the ones that will provide 
stability for the offspring while the female goes off and has affairs 
with the good-looking ones, effectively shopping for ideal genes for the 
offspring the sucker at home will help raise, or something.  Birds do 
it, too, if the documentaries I've seen hold any water.
