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."

Her comment roughly translates to: "I'm going to do whatever I want and then blame you for not accepting me as I am." What a clown.

I'd like to see how it would be if a man told a woman this same thing. (I'm a woman, not an angry man. Don't downvote.) Also, there is never an excuse to cheat. If you don't want to be in a monogamous relationship, tell your partner and leave. Don't go behind their back.

Well, it's the reality in some places. Here in my country(Brazil), women are expected to forgive their cheating partners. Men aren't, tho. I dont agree with that one bit, btw, but it does happen.

One of my (ex)buddies stole my girlfriend. They cheated on me for about a month before I found out and broke up with her. They got together and she then began cheating on him after awhile. Bumped into him at a bar later and he tried to explain that he was sorry but he thought that she was the love of his life...but now she was cheating on him and how much it hurt. My response, "once a cheater, always a cheater...karma is a biitch!" I walked away and never looked back.

Where do you find these kind of women?!! I wouldn’t even thought about cheating if I was in a relationship. Been cheated on and I know damn well how hurtful it is. If you want to cheat, end the relationship and fück around as much as you want. Disturbing how many people in general believe cheating is okey and not bad at all….

Unless you have some kind of special arrangement in your relationship, cheating is never okay. It always signifies a deeper relationship problem.

The first girl I dated cheated on me. I know, because she told me, explicitly how much better than me he was. Two weeks later, I found out from 2 independant sources that she was engaged to be married. To a third guy. Needless to say, that ultimately did not work out, because she cheated on him. With someone else.

Oh fur fu(k’s sake! This is a gender neutral given. If you’re are past the young, oopsy, “everyone gets one” profoundly regretful mistake, then no. Absolutely no way, screw you, you’re a wretched, cheating, hurtful sham of a human being, NO!!! Either be honest, loving and open, or have some self control and love for your flavour of the moment. Honestly, it ain’t that hard folks.

Some men don't leave when you cheat on them.. They stay around and beat the hell out of you to "help you become a better woman". But they're not "real men".

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.

He Was Genuinely About To Leave The Library To Go See Her Too

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

"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."

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...'"

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!"

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?
