How To Identify AToy Boy
When we first heard the term “toy boy”, we thought it was a little harsh. We get that some guys can be players, and some can be selfish (all one and the same really), but ‘Toy Boy’? Then we thought about what women are called, and came to the realization that these so-called ‘gentlemen’ needed (at least) one name to settle the score…‘toy boy’
In the Urban Dictionary, the definitions are sparse and somewhat frightening. They range from “A manipulating man hood who does whatever it takes to benefit him, regardless of who he screws over,” to “the lowest possible form of the vile. According to pacific standard, he “is not a dating style or necessarily single guy so much as a worldview that reeks of entitlement but is aghast at the prospect of putting in effort.”
Below Are The Easiest Ways To Identify A Toy Boy
HE IS FORWARD
At the beginning, this good-looking charmer is forward, insistent and irresistible. As you get further down the road, you will realize that he behaves this way with every girl he meets, but when you voice displeasure with the said behaviour, (after making you feel a little crazy), he will tell you exactly what you want to hear: “You are over-thinking it, I would never want anyone but you.” Oh he will.
HE IS OBSESSED WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
This guy is ALL about his image. He untags photos on Facebook that feature you, or any girl in particular. On Instagram, he follows a bunch of Insta-models and likes all their photos, just in case. Snapchat, he requests you download immediately upon meeting, and proceeds to make you feel like you owe him sexy pictures. To top it all off, if you go anywhere near his phone you are out, and deep down you know why.
HE PUTS IN VERY LITTLE EFFORT
Firstly, (if he doesn’t blow you off) he only wants to go out with you during the work week – weekends are a no go. Secondly, he always texts and never calls you, expecting you to be the one that constantly follows up. Thirdly he never shows you affection in public unless no one is around, and finally, he booty calls you late at night. The sneaky way a “toy boy” booty calls, though, is to make you feel like you are in a relationship with him, so the booty call is your choice, too.
HE CAN’T DEFINE WHAT YOU ARE
When you are dating a real “toy boy,” you always feel like you are on the cusp of ‘the talk’, but months go by and you are definitely no way near being his girlfriend. Although you have no idea about the amount of women in his life, when you finally do bring up enough courage to talk relationship (after desperately hoping you won’t scare him off) – he reveals that he “doesn’t believe in labels.” You deserve better!
THEY ARE VERY FLASHY
They always wear the latest trend, smell good, drive the best cars money can buy.
HIS FRIENDS ARE THE SAME
A group of great-looking charmers who are all “best mates” and treat girls like shit?
RUN!!!
