/unflattering stereotypes, namely weakness and intellectual nerdiness, not to mention the lack of a hot bod and/or atheletic prowess/
Well, Your Mileage Might Vary: I find intellectual nerdiness extremely attractive, and I don't see a lack of athletic prowess as something that makes one weak - not when it's compensated by intelligence and niceness.
PS: I found this blog entry by googling "Nice Jewish Boy", because I find the archtype kinda sexy, though I tend to prefer the older ones, mmmmnnn Mandy Patinkin. He's so sweet I want to jump his bones.
Think of it this way, it used to be that all a girl has to be is to be pretty and nice, someone pretty and nice for an Alpha male to come home too, I guess it's a bit of a flip.
Of course - what I observed of popular comedy (targeted towards MEN) is this: the men are rarely ever handsome or actually /sweet/ enough, or SMART, to make up for a lack in athletics or earnings.
Although I have to confess, I'm actually kinda attracted to guys who are NOT athletic, if it's slim-ish not athletics, like Howard on Big Bang Theory. Something about that just allows /me/ to feel more aggressive, in a way that I really really like. To each their own I guess.
I don't see any inherent inferiority or deviancy in being more aggressive or passive following or being against traditional gender role, it's cool as long as it's what people like, and not, pressure.
So yeah, for any douchebag who expect you to be super everything, while they are like, not remotely matching up, totally not sweet and cute enough for you to forgive them for it (The Cute Boy Consideration counterpart to The Pretty Girls exception of forgiving bad and stupid behaviour), then just kick them to the curb and NEVER settle.
Hey, if Nice Boys is exceptional because boys are expected to be nice, what about a calendar for Jewish Action Girls? Princess Leia, Willow Rosenberg, Kitty Pryde (X-Men)...and I'm sure someone else would know more.
