Is simp a lifelong characteristic or engagement specific? And what is a simp?

Simp (/sɪmp/ ⓘ) is an internet slang term describing someone who shows excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, typically to someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, in pursuit of affection or a sexual relationship.This behavior, known as simping, is carried out toward a variety of targets, including celebrities, politicians, e-girls, and e-boys. The term had sporadic usage until gaining traction on social media in 2019.

It effectively is short for 'simpering'.

However the term has been heavily skewed to be used against anyone who shows women any sort of respect, by certain toxic subcultures.

So what depicts a 'simp', is practically a case by case basis solely depending on the person using it.

Thank you.

I don't appreciate simps for political parties. C'mon! Fight.

When someone donates 500 dollars to me and I still don’t give them a shoutout. ;p

Virginity. That's the biggest one. Once you pop your male cherry your odds of being a simp go down significantly. It becomes much harder for women to blackmail you.

Loneliness. They refuse to be lonely. They will go to extreme lengths to find a connection. They think it will make their life better. I learned to be lonely. It is better considering the current expectations on the dating market.



I met a simp back in college. Literally doing her school projects. Saying he enjoys it. WTF? I told him to stop but he wouldn't listen.

Some people are masochist. As for me I am a sadist… actually a super sadist.

That's something different in the D/s relationships. I never heard about doing literal homework for someone being a kink. Maybe it is a very niche one? Even the findom/ paypig thing seems really weird to me. As in there is no physical or emotional interaction of any kind. You are wasting your time/ money for nothing in return.

This is false. Losing one’s virginity doesn’t suddenly make them cool, secure, and healthy, although I do agree many of them believe that delusion.

I’ve known multiple men who aren’t virgins who are simpy. It’s more to do with insecurity and a lack of valuing oneself, in addition to limerence and desperation.

Essentially, a very unhealthy person who is too lazy/oblivious to apply effort to change and get well. He may also erroneously believe he cannot change himself or his circumstance.
I'm not what you would call a high value man on the dating market. Nor do I care. I don't care about improving myself either. I'm just enjoying myself.

I am insecure about a lot of things. I know they are not attractive features. But, again, I don't care. Also lazy like you describe.

But I don't simp somehow. I should be the king simp by your description. In my opinion the anti simp recipe for anyone is pop your cherry (several times) and stop giving a ♥♥♥♥ about what other people think.
