A seemingly nice, golden boy, one would not suspect him of being capable of breaking hearts. However, he does, and when he does it hurts because you would never suspect this person to act like that. They are funny, smart, athletic, attractive and maintain a pretty untarnished record. They enjoy the attention that comes with the golden boy title and will use it to their advantage. Their charming nature makes every conversation feel like flirting, but in actuality, he has been in love with the same girl for six years and will never, I repeat, NEVER, get over it. He pushes all emotions down to avoid confrontation and maintain superficial perfection, but inevitably he will screw you over and then find no fault in his actions. He appears to be golden but a gilded boy will break your heart to get his happy ending.
Person 1: "I think Brad is flirting with me."
Person 2: "Ooo don't get involved with him."
Person 1: " Why he's such a golden boy."
Person 2: "No, he's a Gilded Boy, he only appears that way on the outside."
