Male admirers who feel some type of way about females they are not with, can'
t be with, have no intention of being with or will never actually be with.
While many
people may confuse a fauxbeaux for a male friend, fuckboys (fuckboi), fuck buddies, friends with benefits or simps a fauxbeaux is NOT the same.
Fauxbeaux are not necessarily friends, they
may be mistaken for friends of the family or white knights but any puppyguarding they exhibit is not about chivalry or because they want to be with her.
They simply treat her the way they want to or think she should be treated, even if the female they admire doesn't notice or solicit his favor much like fans.
They are famous for confusing the hell out of other
people, but much like the terms Faux and Beaux suggest..
These guys are not boyfriends.
They
may actually even confuse the woman by not realizing their behavior
may give her mixed signals, but the
reality of the situation is that nothing actually materializes between them.
Fauxbeaux
may be mistaken for flirts, gentlemen, lost souls and potential sugardaddies or side pieces on the surface but upon closer inspection they are none of the above.
They often trigger others to ask questions but most
people usually can't put a name on them, because they
don't seem to fall into most other reliable categories.
BFF: "What's up with
Ali and Charlie? Any of that ever become a thing?"
Female: "Um, Charles and I were FB for a little while but he orbited a bit, but we don't click and then he finally got married. But
Ali is just one of those FAUXBEAUX, he ain't even trying to marry or fuck. You know he's
Muslim and we don't even actually talk or hang out. Sometimes things just don't translate when you grow up differently. Somehow I know he'd snap on a dude tho if he saw someone disrespecting me - LOL".
