meh it's the same thing as 'bitch' just playing on different negative gender stereotypes.

I don't really care. Words aren't going to hurt me, especially words with such a nebulous meaning. If someone calls you a fuckboy in an argument, you've probably won.

[–]xNOM 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No far weirder. Women on Tinder are angry that there are men who just want to fuck?

a fuckboy is a man who wants a girlfriend without the attendant responsibilities

Wait, what responsibilities are these? And what are the "attendant responsibilities" for women who want a boyfriend?

[–]Brokensocialskillz 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

probably

Clearly you are expected by women to attend to their various needs whatever they may be and there is nothing wrong with that. That is what you are meant to understand.

[–]jb_trp -4 points-3 points-2 points 10 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

It's just typical male shaming. If someone tries to shame you in this way, just laugh it off and maintain frame. It will mean about as much in a few years as someone calling a white male "cracker" or "honkey" or calling a sexually active male "player." If you refuse to get offended, it won't become an offensive term.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

i'm not offended. I don't really get offended. I don't understand the whole issue with offense.

'offensive' things are just an excuse for people to feel morally superior to other people. that's literally it when it comes most things that are labelled 'offensive' today. It just means someone wants to ride their high horse.

You know what's offensive? Saying women deserve to be raped and killed. Saying that men deserve to be killed off to limit their numbers is offensive. calling someone a vague gendered insult, analagous to bitch, which can mean whatever you want according to what facets of the gender stereotype you want to target in the person you're insulting is not offensive. it's just stupid.

All this worry about being offensive is getting out of hand.

Political correctness is a scourge that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

yeah, i don't think we need to be worried about slurs and shit. We have better shit to do than to complain that some edgy young people are using a new word quite frankly.

Seriously, no man is going to get 'triggered' because someone calls him a fuckboy. We get called insults all the time for no reason. We're used to it. We don't need to police language. That's what feminists do and that's what we hate feminists for.

let's drop this bullshit and focus on more serious stuff. Let dumb people call me a fuckboy if they like. I seriously couldn't care less. I care more about the fact that people even care about this, than i do about the actual word.

We don't want to be seen as the new feminism where we search for victimhood where there is none. We're not victims of anything here, we need to leave language policing to feminists.

I worry about the MRM becoming a male parody of third wave feminism for this very reason. Feminism operates from a culturally Marxist worldview, and thus requires that women be part of an "oppressed" and "victimized" class. The problem with that approach, however, is that you'll never reach equality so long as you're convinced of your own "oppression." Whether it's a gender issue or a racial issue or whatever, you'll never reach equality until you present yourself as an equal (i.e. not an "oppressed underclass"). SJWs are sexist and racist too, just in different ways.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

honestly no, i've never been offended in the way i see other people get offended. But i'm white and middle class and male so I don't get attacked much. I don't have many things to be offended by to be honest.

I suppose that comment came from the fact that if I ever act offended by something, what I mean when I say 'i'm offended' is 'I think you're wrong and your stupidity has actually angered me'. edit: this is hard to describe. I guess i've never had an emotional reaction to something that would be 'offensive'. Personal attacks that attack my character or insecurities hurt, but that's not being offended i don't think. And really they only hurt because they force me to realise I have some flaws, and other people see these flaws.

Like, i get 'offended' at the kangaroo courts in US campuses, and I get offended when i read about injustices done to men by the courts. That's my version of offense.

I've literally never been 'offended' by disparagement or anything. I honestly do not understand the sentiment.

But then again, people i'm close to think i might be on the autism scale, so that may have something to do with it. Most of my friends would say I have something wrong with me. I rarely get angry at people (i will get angry reading stuff on the internet though), and I rarely feel ecstatically happy. I'm not even sure I understand the concept of 'fun'. as in, i had 'fun'. I don't get it, i don't know what 'fun' is. People go to theme parks and do activities because they're 'fun', and when I do them, i'm just trying hard as possible to pretend I'm having fun. I don't get that emotional thing that appears to take over people during 'fun'. Maybe if i did a bungee jump the adrenaline rush could constitute fun? I know I have fun when I take MDMA and go to a club. But that's the drug.

I think i have something wrong with me. Which may explain why I have that opinion.

For example, i used to be anorexic. Whatever, i'm over it, but i've heard people saying anorexics are stupid, vain etc. No offense taken. I just correct them because i recognise they don't understand the illness. It doesn't trigger any emotional response in me.

I should probably go to a therapist.

Isn't this basically slut-shaming? I thought that was a bad thing.

They were just called players when I was younger.

Girls love to complain about them, but then they also love to engage in sex with them too. So, whatever.

Nice Guy: a man who gives a relationship to women hoping to get sex from her but doesn't.

Fuckboy: a man whom women give sex hoping to get a relationship from him but don't.

Assholes: people of either sex who think of sex or relationships as something they are "giving" their friend or romantic partner.

“A ‘fuckboy’ is a young man who sleeps with women without any intention of having a relationship with them or perhaps even walking them to the door post-sex."

And then the article goes on to describe this guy: “Fuckboy is not a dating style,” claims Alana Massey, “so much as a worldview that reeks of entitlement but is aghast at the prospect of putting in effort.”

Is it not 'entitlement' to EXPECT a relationship just because you opened your fucking legs? You're not owed a relationship because you had sex with a dude.

[–]blueoak9 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

but is aghast at the prospect of putting in effort.”

So what Alana Massey is saying is that it takes no effort to fuck her.

[–]Manheiser_Busch 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

“so much as a worldview that reeks of entitlement but is aghast at the prospect of putting in effort.”

What it reeks of is, "There's 3.5 Billion women on the planet. If you're going to put up hoops you want me to jump through before I get laid, someone else is more willing. NEXT!"

[–]chocoboat -1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

So in other words, it's a caricature and a strawman to be used against anyone you dislike, in the same manner as "slut" or "whore".

Honestly, I don't have a problem with this word. It actually brings us closer to gender equality to have a slur to be used against men... "pig" was pretty weak, this one carries a little more weight.

And it makes it easier to identify shitty people. Just as you can identify a worthless antagonistic man when he goes around calling women sluts and whores, now you can identify worthless antagonistic women.

[–]StarsDie 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I have no problem with the term in and of itself. But the definition they provide only highlights the entitlement of women who believe they are owed a relationship from a guy they fuck. And yet they have the audacity to claim the guy is the entitled one.

[–]chocoboat 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Which isn't much different from a term like "slut", which is used by men who feel they are owed exclusivity from a girl they fucked.

Now there's a word for entitled, rude women to use to spread their irrational anger too. Like you said, it's a word that's only used by shitty people, and I think it just helps to identify them.

[–]StarsDie 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah. One difference might be however, than in the definition that a guy might give for the word 'slut', isn't an accusation that the 'slutty woman' is an entitled woman. So in essence, it isn't calling the other person entitled while being entitled themselves. The hypocrisy and the double standard inherent in the definition they gave for 'fuckboy' is what bugs me.

But I do see what you mean. And it really is one of the reasons why I never use terms like "slut" or "whore" because I've never felt that those things OUGHT to be viewed as insults for women.

And bizarrely enough, the people who I have seen use those terms most frequently and insultingly have been women referring to women they don't like. It's rare that I see guys using those terms.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

i agree with you. I like the fact there's a gendered slur for guys. Because most guys won't give a single fuck about being called a fuck boy.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

I actually used to use that term in reference to myself when I was a prostitute. It's the same as the term "pig," but for sub twinks. It's a young guy who wants to service as much cock as possible.

[–]goldmouthdawg 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

‘fuckboy’ is a young man who sleeps with women without any intention of having a relationship with them or perhaps even walking them to the door post-sex. He’s a womanizer, an especially callous one, as well as kind of a loser.”

I grew up when fuckboy and fucknigga was primarily heard in black communities in Miami. This person is full of shit.

[–]CountVonVague 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

ok so i've heard it talked about that fuckboy was something black communities made a thing but i first started hearing it via tumblr and friends on tumblr, same thing with "basic bitch". In fact both of those words were used in ways that misled me to believe what was meant, so what does fuckboy actually mean?? As far as i was aware it referenced guys who behaved like insolent pricks and failed at getting what they wanted ( sex ), generally just some kind of underfoot toady that thought too big of themselves.

[–]goldmouthdawg 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Who's a fuckboy? Someone that does fuckshit. What's fuckshit? Foul shit. Leaving your buddy hanging out to dry or throwing someone under the bus. A person that doesn't do what they were supposed to do. The ones that got fake when shit got real.... Another example is this is fuck shit done by fuckboys. That's not how you do your buddy....

What's more that shit can be fighting words. You might joke with your friends and say it and have it mean nothing, but to someone you might have a problem with can lead to a fight or was thrown out shortly before that fight.

tldr; It holds a lot of purposes and none positive. Someone you should watch yourself around. Matter of fact, have you seen Ballers? Reg. I haven't seen the season finale to see if they might've made him ok but going from the eps I've seen, he's a perfect example.

A basic bitch is just a chick that's not up on in season fashion and trends. Just another way of saying lame.

I'm glad that somebody finally spelled out whatever the hell a "fuckboy" is. I've seen it used in random discussions on this site and was starting to feel like a total idiot (or just old maybe) for not knowing what it meant...

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm not sure this definition will help, other people are likely to define the word in a different way.

[–]CountVonVague 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

exactly, this definition seems far too "successful" for how fuckboi gets used

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I love how the article defines 'fuckboy' as basically the worst kind of man....and then goes on to explain how they are actually still good for having sex with....so I am not even good enough to be a fuckboy.

Watching society not even remotely cope with the impact of 3rd wave feminism is hilarious. Oh, lets see here, you abolish all gender roles and replace them with nothing, tell men they will benefit nothing from society thus ensuring they have no obligation to care what society thinks of them, and attack stable relationships as degrading to women, and you are shocked, SHOCKED when a toxic dating culture develops.

Que Suprise.

[–]ManRAh 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I hear "Fuckboy" used far more to describe just... guys who women fuck. It's just a slightly derogatory way of saying Fuck Buddy that is gender specific.

Wait...

OOOOOOH... of course it's that Self-Hating, White-Knighting Moron who wrote that he feels guilty about enjoying grilling.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The connotation of the word is filled with shame, but because the double standard of slut/stud is one that exists due to evolutionary biology, I think the term fuckboi will slowly turn into a synonym for "player".

Women are the gatekeepers of sex, men are the gatekeepers of relationships.
