What is the difference between jock, hunk, and stud?

[Anonymous]

To me they three are basically mean the same. But are they different?

In definition.

[EyeSeaYew]

Definition of hunk: "a sexually attractive man, especially a large, strong one."
Definition of stud: "a guy; especially one who is virile and promiscuous." (a. k. a. a guy who's good with the ladies)

The technical definition of a jock is an athlete, but the stereotype of a jock is "muscular, but not very smart, and cannot carry a conversation on any topic other than one relating to sports, exercise, or sex."

So all three are sort of related to one another, but a hunk or a stud may not necessarily be into sports or exercise like a jock or be dumb like one. So a hunk or stud isn't always a jock, but a jock is typically a hunk or stud.

They all refer to good looking guys, but a:
Jock is a sportsman (often a football player, basketball player or ice-hockey player) with a lot of muscles (behaviour of a typical alpha male);
Hunk is model, seen primarily as eye-candy;
Stud is a ladiesman, that is (imo known for being) well dressed and easy going

Nobody says the words hunk and stud unless they're referring to the 1950s.
Nobody says jock unless they're referring to a cheesy high school movie or a personality before the 1990s

That's the difference

Oh "stud" can also be used to describe an attractive dyke in present day speak. I forgot.
Hunk refers to a piece of meat in present day speak
And "jock" can refer to a jock strap in present day speak

Yes all 3 words are written differently.

Jock is written like this: J O C K
Hunk is written like this: H U N K
Stud is written like this: S T U D

See the difference?
Hope this helped.

I hope you think before answering. Obviously they three are spelled differently, I'm asking difference in definition not how it's spelled or pronounced.

[MyThoLoGy]

You should be more specific.

[Swede888]

Jock and Hunk is usually someone who is athletic. Stud is the kind of guy that is always surrounded by women.

[RealDedication]

Jock: Athletic Dumbass
Hunk: Muscular Dumbass
Stud: Handsome Dumbass

Take your pick ladies.

To me:

Jock is an athlete
Hunk is a good looking, well built guy
Stud is an attractive ladies man.
