Can you define what a ‘simp’ is in your own words?

[Still-alive]

People lob this term at me but i feel like their criticism is misplaced…

[whirled_up_girl]

I've heard this term used a lot and I'm not totally sure what it means but according to the defination I have seen on gag I have no simps around me in my real life, lol. I don't like it when people hurl names at others, it's immature and except for the minors on here we're not supposed to be in grade school or highschool anymore.

[CrazyGirl2]

It probably is misplaced! A simp is a guy who will do anything for a woman even though its pretty friggin’ obvious that she is not even remotely interested in him sexually or romantically. I don’t see you being like that! So whoever said that to you either doesn’t know you or is just a damn liar!

[Still-alive]

aww thanks babe :*

yeah i don't let it get to me really. i just wanna see how others define it though lol

[KatanaSlice]

Simply respecting a woman, being a good significant other, or defending her when she's in the right does not make you a simp. If you mindlessly defend a woman no matter what or do whatever she wants no matter how ridiculous it is that's what makes you a simp in the end.

[Still-alive]

yup that is definitely not me in your last sentence.

if a girl is saying dumb shit near me ill speak up against that.

[KatanaSlice]

Exactly I'm the same way.

[slatyb]

An idiotic term used by low status men who view life as a video game. They can’t get a date and console themselves by pretending that the men who do are successful only because they are subservient to the women they date.

[Still-alive]

*mic drop*

[purplepoppy]

One time men were taught to be gentlemen and open doors for women. Now they're taught to slam them in your face or they're simps

[Still-alive]

yeah seems like it.

[Billlewis]

That's fine with me, because if my two choices are slamming the door in a woman's face or kissing her ass, that's a very easy choice to make.

[RedStiletto88]

I’ve heard this thrown about but apparently it’s typically some guys making fun of other guys who are trying to get attention from women.


Maybe like an alpha/beta rivalry I guess.

[Still-alive]

i only do that if its blatantly clear the guys harassing her on here.

[Kaneki05]

A person who backs up an opinion themselves wouldn't agree with for the sake of another person with mostly the reason been they find them hot.
An example would be me agreeing with a racist comment a girl just made because she's quite hot, therefore I want to agree with her to be on her good side even tho really I do not agree with racism nor the comment.

That's what a simp is.

[DesiUwU]

Well, if someone really cares for you and would go to the end of the world for you, then that’s not simping. But if someone continues to love you to an unhealthy degree after you’ve turned them down or whatever, to the point they stalk you and do your every bidding, than that’s 1. Simping and 2. Dangerous and concerning

[MelonSoda]

A simp is a term used for males or females who act like flimsy pieces of cardboard for people they love and adore to an unhealthy degree. They will give them money, buy them whatever they want, always throw compliments at them while (usually) being treated like shit by the person of their affection. They either one day get over it and reflect on their actions and realize how dumb simping is, or they continue to do it regardless. Truly shameless. <3

[oddwaffle]

The simple light version is that he will treat pretty girls much better than any other human, especially male, counter part. He would open doors for the ladies but not the gentlemen.

The hardcore version is when he goes out to actually lose things he would never want to lose just make the ladies happy instead of helping out fellow humans. Like paying for a drink instead of saving to donate.

Essentially a very gender bias guy who is proud of being discriminating.

[dwiller943]

A young male that chases hook-up material women for relationships while overlooking good loyal women that are more worthy of long-term relationships, and then acting "suprised' that the women he was chasing wasn't relationship material. Because he's too busy allowing himself to confuse lust with love.

[supercutebutt]

Dictionaries across the internet imply that a "simp" is a dude who is overly nice to a girl but that same girl will never have sex with him in a million years.

[Still-alive]

well i am nice, but don't hope for sex. it just happens sometimes heheh

[blondfrog]

Its a word made up by Virgin and incel men on youtube and other internet comment platforms who can't get laid and who are sexually frustrated to make other men feel bad. Also a lot of male feminzizs use that term. Its a more new word invented in 2019 that refers to putting someone on a pedestal.

[JosyJosy]

People who turn into cheerleaders and would do everything for you just to get your attention

[Still-alive]

ill do it for you babe :*

jk :P

[JosyJosy]

Spare me x)
I don't mind a submissive guy but a doormat, no

[Still-alive]

ill be a literal doormat cause sometimes it feels good having feet on my back lol

but not what you're thinking of :P

[jazmiine]

"simp" is not a common word where I am from so I used google dictionary and it says "a silly or foolish person" probably that is what it means.

[Still-alive]

see katanaslices answer to understand it. its a bit of new slang that developed over the past decade i'd say

[loveslongnails]

"Simp" is just a new way of saying a very old concept, except that it leaves way too much open to interpretation, which is why I prefer the "old" words for it:
Fawning
Obsequious

A nod to subarugirl who will surely say to me " Who uses words like that?" LOL I do. Luv ya', kid !

[NathanDavis]

no... but I'm a grown up, and a busy one, lol... so I do not bother with this inadequate's nuisance, I left high-school long time ago

[GreenLanternI0I]

SIMP is a 20, 30, 40 or even 50 year old Boys (NOT True Men) who puts women on a pedestal, who is willing to say anything, do anything and everything, just so he can get an ass or be with her either for a long run or a short run.

[Gwenhwyfar]

You’re not a simp. You side with girls cause you honestly agree with us, not cause you wanna get laid or sexted.

[Still-alive]

haha thanks. as i say sex just happens sometimes. i don't beg for it or anything :p ;)

[Gwenhwyfar]

Sometimes it does 😊

[Starla1234]

A simp is someone who is desperately crushing on a person and they’re like, obsessed with this person and the person either doesn’t even know who the simp is, or they don’t like the simp back, or both.

[dustybiker]

Doesn’t matter the word. It’s always misplaced with those folks.

[Still-alive]

exactly. although i think KatanaSlice nailed it in my opinion

[dustybiker]

Looks like a number of people get it.

[xJayleenx]

Probably an extremely submissive male lol. Treating your girl right and being sweet to her is not being a simp though.

[Still-alive]

exactly

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Simp is what self proclaimed Alpha males like to call guys that aren't complete dickheads. It has pretty much replaced the "white knight" insult that used to be used by the same type of guys.

[IMuser]

They can sacrifice themselves for your appreciation. Simps

[Still-alive]

Sacrifice how?

[IMuser]

Sacrifice their time, money and in some cases, self respect
