The Chad Effect 

A Chad is a Chad is a Chad, right? Wellll - not so fast.

“The Chad Effect,” was born when a gym bro formed a gym bond with another bro who regularly went with his lads to workout.

Whenever the gym bro sees his bro, he walks over, props him, and acknowledges the existence of the other lads.

NOW - remove the gym bro’s bro from the equation. When the gym bro sees his bro’s lads on their own, he acts as if he does not know them.

Within the same workout, if the bro emerges from the change room and links up with his lads, the gym bro’s amnesia vanishes and he will come over, props his bro, and acknowledge the existence of the others.

Thus…

“The Chad Effect” (phrase) - when a person forgets/ignores - intentionally or unintentionally - another person despite sharing an established mutual connection/friend.

Steven: Hey Sara - guess we’re the ‘other buddies’.

The Chad Effect 

The Chad Effect usually occurs when one tells someone something so many times that they begin to believe it even though it's a complete lie.

-"chad you just broke my tv..." (lie)

"man we just got here, i couldn't have!"

-"no dude, i put a special device that when you step on it it breaks my tv in case of emergency and you just stepped on it... good job." (lie)

"WHAT? are you serious?"

-"YEAH! fuck you should have listened to me when i was explaining it." (lie)

"man you never explained it!"

-"YES I DID! REMEMBER?" (lie)

"oh... yeah now i kind of do.

-"man i just used the chad effect on you so good..."

The Chad Michael Murray Effect 

The unhealed trauma within millennial women that makes them choose a white boy even when there are significantly better options.

This is because these women have grown up with stars like Chad Michael Murray, Brody Jenner, Zac Efron, etc., leading women to constantly feel the need to prove to themselves that they can pull the token white boy.

Gen Z girls, please see The Magcon Effect for further context on this phenomenon.

“Damn, Zac Efron is not even cute now, but I would still pick him because of the Chad Michael Murray Effect.”
