The popular internet term nice guy refers to a social stereotype associated with young adult males who think that acting like a caring and empathetic gentleman makes them entitled to women's affection and romantic interest.

However, we would like to show you that such wishful thinking isn't exclusive to just one gender and introduce you to the so-called nice girls. So we invite you to take a look at the content we gathered from a subreddit of the same name, as it perfectly illustrates their peculiar ways.

Nice Respectable Girl Can't Find A Man

Nice Respectable Girl Can't Find A Man

BlueSeaNox Report

"[This subreddit is meant] for all the self-proclaimed 'nice girls,'" the moderators of the online community write in its 'About' section.

"For the women who complain 'guys are only interested in sluts.' For women who complain that men are shallow for not dating overweight women, while also demanding that their man have washboard abs. For the women who hold others to the highest possible standard, but have no standards for themselves."

Suddenly, I feel like running to the bakery for honey buns. And for those who may ask, yes, I will share.

"This sub is not for female incels," the moderators clarify, adding that, "this place is not for crazy girls," either.

"This subreddit is not a women-hating subreddit," they finish off, warning everyone to refrain from making sexist comments or just being a bigot in general because it will not be tolerated and earn them a ban.

We got in touch with the people taking care of this online community and asked if they believe there are levels to the nice girl syndrome, or is it more like a 'package.'

"It's an honest mix," the moderators told Bored Panda. "Some are extremely immature, some are extremely toxic, and others are just jerks."

But it's not just the nice girls that the members of the subreddit are fed up with. "Repost bots are the current most hated thing. These are generally accounts that have been around 4-6 months; they suddenly come to life and will repost a post from 2-5 years ago, with the exact same title, attempting to farm karma."

Ah, so there's also a female version of this. Also, she called him stupid in the end (baka). Why? That's the opposite of what you should say to someone you want to date, disregarding the other weirdness.

"We'd like to add that you should always read the rules first and foremost before you post," the moderators said.

"Remembering the human is also extremely important." And that goes beyond just reposting.

holhaspower Report

According to writer Raluca Popescu, the notion that you have to be nice to everyone in order to be loved and accepted is basically a mission impossible and a completely useless task to even try in the first place.

"This idea is based on a deeper one that says 'you are not good enough," Popescu explains. "So you have to do things and be in certain ways to be loved. Things and ways that almost always do not reflect the real you."

"If you are a nice girl how could you say 'no' when a colleague asks for your help with that report that's his responsibility?" Popescu asks rhetorically.

"You don't have kids waiting for you at home so you spend on two extra hours to help. And he will take credit for it. But you don’t mind, you are so nice, you are happy you could help."

"If you are a nice girl you are the one who always seems to attract the 'wrong men,'" the writer continues exploring this character. "Only there are no 'wrong men' as there are no 'perfect men' either (I hope you've realized this by now)."

"However, if you look at your past relationships you will find a common thread: they were all based on at least one key factor. This factor assured the impossibility of the relationship to ever turn into a fully committed one."

Cynical-Meme Report

This key factor that she talks about can be any a variety of things, from him being married to a huge age difference and him having some type of addiction.

"As a rule of thumb, you choose a man that for some reason is unavailable to fully commit to a relationship. You stay with him as long as that barrier is there so you have something to fight for. This way you hide your own fear and easily 'blame' it on him. The mindset is: 'If he only did this or that...'"

Great, these two searched and found each other: Male incel stumbles over female incel. "I always end up friend zoned!" and "Men are trash!" are a toxic concoction.

Aviaja-Maria Report

Popescu says she has thought a lot about how women can overcome the nice girl syndrome. She thinks that once they realize that they might be suffering from it, they should consciously choose to act and think differently.

"Just be curious and open about it," she advises. "Don't take yourself too seriously. Laugh when you catch yourself acting automatically as a nice girl."

"There is a beautiful, authentic you underneath the mask. Do yourself and the world a huge favor and let it shine!"

I absolutely hate women like that. Men have feelings just like everyone else and can cry. Shitheads like her made my fiance never tell me when he feels bad until he becomes miserable!

Ah yes, tumblr 'feminists'. (Read: misandrists). As a woman I apologise for this lady and would like to assure my fellow pandas that these kinds of people are both delusional and very rare in real life

I don't care if we've been dating for 3 weeks or 3 years, you do this to any of my games, it's out the door with you. I won't say I'd prioritize my games over my girl but breaking games is heresy in my book.

He was a skater boy, she said "See you later, boy", he wasn't good enough for her ... Emo/goth/punk people look great, I totally agree to that, but there's more to love than looking good!

Well, this is true and hardly makes the person pointing it out 'toxic'. Fascinating how the bottom of the barrel really needs to be scraped to 'prove' that women are 'as bad as men'.

Are these relationships that are lived so much through a screen lacking the hit of oxytocin that brings true happiness and love? Is this why we're seeing so much of these attempts to dictate how it will play out, rather than genuinely just living it and seeing how it goes?
