Opposite of a fuckboy. Tries to find committed relationships through complimenting girls and being nice to them. Usually never works and the “softboy” is most likely a virgin and will be until he transforms into a fuckboy.
Girl A: Jake is being so nice to me. I think he likes me.
Girl B: that’s different
Girl A: yeah I think he is a softboy. I wish he’d just be a dick to me so I could fuck him
Girl B: yeah I have no idea why guys think being a softboy is attractive
Girl B: that’s different
Girl A: yeah I think he is a softboy. I wish he’d just be a dick to me so I could fuck him
Girl B: yeah I have no idea why guys think being a softboy is attractive

Similar to a fuckboy but without the cocky attitude. The Softboy will butter a girl up by appealing to her emotions and showing a "sensitive" side long enough for her to sleep with him, whether or not he actually cares about her or not. Then, like the fuckboy, he can't/won't commit. Differs from the fuckboy because he goes for the heart and emotions rather than just the body.

Not to be confused with fuckboy, although extremely similar. Often seen as the male version of “i’m not like other girls.” They probably listen to artists like the 1975, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus and wear lots of sweaters. They consider their taste in music to be a personality trait. Regardless of appearance, a softboy will make a girl feel sorry for him and treat her well long enough to get what he wants (usually sex), then he’ll drop her and move on to the next girl. Oftentimes they have zero communication skills and are compulsive liars. They usually use their alternative music taste/style/aesthetic as a way to attract girls with similar tastes, rather than being “basic” like your average fuckboy.
