Chad: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:09, 28 August 2025

‘Chad’ is a colloquial term used within online communities to describe a man who is perceived as being able to attract widespread female romantic or sexual attention. He is often portrayed as possessing a combination of conventionally attractive physical traits and social desirability.

Common characteristics associated with the archetype include a slim or athletic build, clear skin, thick hair, a well-defined jawline, large eyes, and generally neotenous or delicate facial features. Chads are often stereotyped in male dominated spaces as exaggeratedly muscular or hypermasculine, however the figure is more accurately characterized by aesthetic appeal and symmetry rather than extremes of physicality.
