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.

"[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.

I get that sometimes men like to be inappropriate in professional settings, but in this case, her ego is inappropriate!!

I think what she says is fair. It may be full of herself, but he admit that he stared and it is ok for her to say her piece to clear the air. She.may have been so embarresed and self-cringe by his responce for all we know. She should maybe have offered, but too many men would think that litteraly means "f**k me".

You've got a valid point, unfortunately some people do assume that if somebody is nice it's an invitation for something more intimate. There have been a lot of assaults committed because of this belief. Definitely not a down vote worthy comment

I might have sat next to her to get better acquitted. Wonder what she might have though of that. I'd be arrested by now!

Incredibly arrogant of her to assume that a guy staring at her because she brought food to class wanted to f**k her.

Soo, funny. When I stare, I have this intense stare and I'll do that sometimes at men at parties which will cause me problems. I won't be staring at them, I'll be looking at drinking or a joint

"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."

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."

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."
