Mike's not a malicious person... he's just an insensitive jerk who only thinks about himself and Zoey. It's frustrating that he's labeled "SUCH A NICE GUY" when he hasn't done much to back that up beyond kissing up to Zoey. Mike has never done anything individually nice on his own. Brick's salute goodbye, he tagged along with Zoey and Cam. Bringing Sam breakfast after Boney Island? Mike was tagging along with the rest of his team. He never individually does ANYTHING nice for anyone but himself and Zoey. Nothing makes his individual "niceness" stand out. It's barely there.

And come on, he never remotely interacts with Cameron until Cameron becomes "useful" to him. Mike never goes out of his way to make friends with ANYBODY.

Overall, if you look through the whole series, Mike never really goes out of his way to be kind to others the way actual developed "nice" characters on the show do, like Cameron, Ella, Bridgette, DJ, etc.

Courtney can get away with as much crap as she wants because the show is deliberately painting her as a monstrous, horrible person. Her actions are never justified. ALL of Mike's actions are deemed "heroic" and "sweet" when in actuality he's never really done anything for anyone but himself or Zoey, and even rarely Cameron.
