So, what exactly is a "nice girl?" First, it's probably useful to define the "nice guy" that many women might be familiar with. According to culture writer for Rolling Stone, Mile Klee, a nice guy is a man "who claims he only wants to be a woman's friend, then gets mad about being 'friendzoned' and cruelly judges her for dating anyone who isn't him."
Usually, there's also some sort of reward included: nice guys expect women to "repay" them with physical intimacy, a next date, or some other perk in exchange for basic decency. Basically, we can flip the same idea and apply it to women. If a girl just waits long enough and plays the part of the nice person or a friend long enough, she will eventually be picked by the guy of her dreams.
There are plenty of examples of "nice girls" in TV and movies. Some people give the example of Molly Ringwald's character in Sixteen Candles as the perfect example of a "nice girl." In one Reddit thread, people referred to some animated characters as "nice girls." Those included Lisa Simpson and Daria.
One user defined the "nice girl" as similar to the brainy "not like other girls" girl. "A clever and highly ethical character who isn't appreciated because everyone is just into airheaded cheerleaders," i/smorgasfjord wrote. "In real life, her lack of popularity might have something to do with the giant chip on her shoulder. Like the Nice Guy, she feels entitled to respect and admiration because she thinks she's a better class of people, and resent the fact that not many others see her that way."
