softboys 

Term to describe male technology workers. Derived from their physical appearance: slightly overweight and pudgy, hiding their bodies in pale "comfort-fit" khakis and button-down shirts. Mostly used during the dotcom era.

See those softboys over there heading off to Starbucks for their afternoon lattes?

Softboy 

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.

The Softboy played me like the Fuckboy did, but at least the fuckboy was honest.

softboy 

the exact opposite of a fuckboy, a softboy™ typically wears oversized sweaters, sweatpants, beanies and tends to have soft natural hair. a softboy™ is actually sweet, caring, and an actual aesthetic. softboys™ are the best boys.

Softboy 

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.

“God, he is such a softboy, I could submit some of the texts he sends to @beam_me_up_softboi.”
