The silverlining you are so called searching for is whether that guy is man enough to stand his ground. The reason girls are attracted to assholes is because they know that guy is not taking anyones' shit! It's all good being a nice guy (I mean what girl really doesn't want a nice guy?), but when you are too nice to where you are letting women run all over you, that's where it's gets to be a problem. As a nice female, I have that problem on a daily basis. I often let people run over me and tend to forgive them more than once causing me to be the fool and hurt in the end. You have to learn there is a place and time for everything. If something is going on that you don't agree with or not happy with, do something about it. Stand up for yourself. A woman that can run all over you does not respect you, the same goes for a man that runs all over a woman. Bottom line is, you can't always be "the nice guy" to everyone. Pick your battles. Is it worth losing something because you weren't man enough to stand up to another woman, or do you want to continue the rest of your life feeling like you are stuck in an ongoing cycle on being "too nice"?
