What exactly is a "Chad" and where does the term come from?

Chad is a country in the continent of Africa. It’s also a popular name that was used during the late 20th century, and much like how “Tiffany” became associated with a specific image of a woman because of the use of the name in shows/movies at the time, the same happened to Chad.

My guess.

It's made up BS by guys who can't get a date. Instead of looking in the mirror and making themselves more attractive, they blame women or society or their unfortunate circumstances.

It's the BS reason "President Al Gore" is an alternative timeline in a utopian universe instead of this dystopian one.

It’s what incels call attractive men.

I see women use the term too, does that mean they're incels? It's a very popular term nowadays
