Do girls really like nice guys who actually care about them or are they just fooling themselves?

Do you girls really prefer a nice guy or do you just say it to get'em as friends while you're banging the so called "bad boy" who treats you like shit and doesn't really give a fuck about you, just so you could complain about all guys being a bunch of dicks when you're older and screwed up every chance you had with all the good guys who could treat you like a queen? (Sorry if someone is hurt by this, I honestly just ask to understand this phenomenon from a girl's point of view and not to offend anyone^_^)

(Myself never had that problem thank God but I've seen too many people that I care about who went through similar thing and it crushed them, so just wanted to hear from various personal female opinions what do you think about this)
