Generally, the Soft Boy is the brother of the infamous Fuck Boy. The master plan behind the Soft Boy is to appear gentle and... well, soft. Cute, pure, and slightly Alt in order to get within your pants. An indicator is when they wear a Tame Impala shirt or bite their lips.
Person One: "Oh my god, Todd is wearing that weird sweatshirt popped collar jeans combo with fluffy upright curly hair again."
Person Two: "Oh cock, Todd's become a soft boy!"

a feminine looking male who isn't particularly masculine and likes cute things. they often have a pastel aesthetic and can be cisgender or transgender. They're usually very nice and can be a little bit sentimental once you get close with them. Sometimes they're gay, bisexual or pansexual but this is not always the case.

A guy who is very retro for his generation. He comes off as closed off or reserved, but he’s actually protecting his heart from getting broken like in past relationships. He normally likes bands scanning from the 60’s to early 2000’s and maybe some tunes from now. He’s the type of person who is silent, but has so much to say. When he talks about his music or hobbies, he’ll get so passionate it seems like you’re seeing the real him.
Random Girl: “What bands do you listen to?”
Guy: “Vintage Classics like The 1975, Oasis, Strawberry Alarmclock and Weezer.”
Random Girl: “Oh, so you’re a soft boy then!”

a soft boy or « soft boi » is a guy who usually dresses with baggy clothes such as oversized flannel shirts, baggy pants or mom pants, oversized sweatshirts and jackets. they like light colors like beige, light blue, light brown, white, light green but can sometimes also wear colorful colors. the shoes they usually wear are converses (vintage or classic), nikes (air jordan mid or air force one) and vans (old school).
their music taste is very different. they usually like calm songs but they can also listen to styles like hard rock, indie rock, classic rock.. they usually listen to less mainstreamed artists like conan gray, rex orange county, the neighborhood, frank ocean but also vintage bands like the 1975, the strokes…

in terms of personality they can seem distant and shy at first but they’re actually really cool people when you really get to know them. it’s never boring when you’re having a conversation with them. they will usually hang out with a big friend’s group that is diverse in terms of gender. they usually like skating.
unlike the fuck boys who like dark colors and are usually toxic, soft boys will date you for your personality rather than your body and are really caring. unlike fuck boys, they’re loyal and respect women lol.

i also see a lot of people describing soft boys as very feminine or weak but i don’t think that is true. most of the « soft boys » i met are actually really masculine so don’t think that’s what all soft boys are.
person : omg i just met this guy who wore beige and brown baggy clothes, love skating and listens to conan gray

other person : girl that’s definitely a soft boy

more likely common to see in real life than an eboy.
POLAR OPPOSITE of an eboy.
An eboy can also be a softboi because no one makes the rules.
Usually hot, a bit feminine, sweet, caring, good bf, exists on TikTok, taking over TikTok in place of eboys, usually plays ukelele or something “soft” like that, and usually skates.
-Did you see that eboy on TikTok?
-No, my for you page is covered in soft-bois, they’re taking over

A soft boy is like a male tomboy, as in they are a male who has "girly" interests and they often like cute things, and enjoy activities that are often deemed as stuff a girl would do (like facetiming for hours, baking at midnight, and going out late to shop). Their closest friends tend to be females, and casually hang out with them.

They are kind, sweet, usually quiet, and they typically wear oversized/baggy clothes, and a beanie, but you don't need to wear those clothes to be a soft boy.
