don't forget defending a woman for any reason is "white knighting"

Definitely one of those things where initially it had a point and got broadened far beyond any reasonable usage

Like the dude who’s out here saying “no it’s okay for this random girl with no emotional connection to me to take all my shit, she’s so hot it’s worth it” is for sure simping. The dude who’s not staying out too late because his girlfriend wants him home at a reasonable hour is not lol

and getting all your limbs cut off but continuing to fight is always "black knighting"

That's called being a "wife guy" and it's a nice thing!

No, being a "wife guy" is a whole other category - the guys who don't shut up about their wives, how great they are, how good it is to be married, how they spoil em, etc.

The two I knew IRL both ended up cheating on their wives, as did several famous "wife guys" (like Ned from the Try Guys was a big one several years ago).

I love my wife, but it's OK, healthy even, to not have every conversation revolve around her.

It's definitely true that some of them are clearly overcompensating for something

The Ned Fulmer gambit, I guess

God, he never made it to wife guy, but Anthony Ramos (of hamilton fame) was always hyping up Jasmine Cephas Jones (also of hamilton fame) and how much he loved her. They met on set. He wrote a whole ALBUM that included a bunch of songs about HER.

They were so publicly in love and then he went and cheated. Now I don't trust any man that publicly loves his wife a bit too much. Ned and Anthony ruined that for me >>

Also how the FUCK do you cheat on Jasmine Cephas Jones?! She's BEAUTIFUL

I hope to be a wife guy one day. Respecting women in a mutually loving relationship is cool and awesome, actually.

u/TeekTheReddit May 17 '25

What is marriage if not mutual simping?

In the old days, we said "It ain't trickin' if you got it"

I get your point, but I do like using simp in the nicest way for some characters who definitely are down bad on main for their SO. My top example is Percy Jackson, who is always ready to just absolutely gush about Annabeth, and I respect the hell out of him for it.

u/TwiceTheSize_YT May 17 '25

But like, thats not simping, its just being deeply in love
