About

Nu-male is an internet slang term referring to men and boys who do not conform to traditional masculine gender roles. Online, the term is often used as a pejorative in a similar fashion to "beta male," "cuck" or "soy boy", but is typically reserved for white men with facial hair and eyeglasses.

Origin

The earliest known use of the term "nu-male" was in a post submitted to the Social Anxiety Support Forums[6] on September 21st, 2011, sarcastically comparing the term to the music genre nu metal (shown below).


Nu Male - Nu Metal isn't as big as it once was ten years ago - probably because most of it sucked, but hey isn't that guy from Otep married to Carmen Electra? Not too shabby...

Spread

On December 18th, 2015, an anonymous 4chan user submitted a photograph of a bearded man wearing glasses along with the question "Is it just me or do most white male liberals look like this?" (shown below, left).[1] In response, another user replied with a collage of photographs featuring white men wearing glasses along with a definition of the term "nu-male" (shown below, right).


For archival. nu-male thas beard and/or glasses :20-30 years old :commonly prematurely balding white knight with white guilt :trendy, very active on Twitter favorite method of activism is complaining uses words like "problematic'" :donates to at least one Patreon female jumps to any woman's defense on the internet despite not ever receiving any rewards or personal benefits :submissive, passive, boring but outspokern :attempted to be an indie dev at some point (evidenced by pixel art avatars) more functional in society than average beta males :one step above fedora lords think they are all unique individuals despite looking exactly the same :Twitter bio and Tinder bio are identical will take his wife's last name Example usage: Hey, did you see all those nu-males giving Brianna Wu money?

On June 10th, 2016, Urban Dictionary[5] user Gary Nyuman submitted an entry for "Nu-male," defining it as men "lacking self-respect who are completely devoid of any masculinity" (shown below).


Nu-male (n(y)oo mal) Nu-males are men (with "men" being used as loosely as possible) lacking self-respect who are completely devoid of any masculinity and will jump at any moment to defend women online for feminist brownie points while falsely believing that in return, they'll receive sexual favors. 're a step above "Nice Guys" in terms of beta they are Nu-males are almost exclusively white (although some exceptions exist), ultra liberal, hipsters, wear some form of thick framed glasses with a matching obnoxious beard, submissive but outspoken (only online), in their 20-30s, harbor any form of self-hatred (white guilt, male guilt, etc.), either are thin as a twig or are overweight and very active on social media. They're often pseudo-intellectuals and will opt to blocking as their form of arguing online to any opposing opinions or valid criticism in order to protect their fragile egos. Let's be nu-males together and guarantee we'll never get laid!Take that patriarchy and toxic masculinity!

On October 17th, 2016, Redditor joe1up submitted a post asking "What on earth is 'numale'?" to /r/OutOfTheLoop,[3] to which Redditor Viraus2 responded that it was a "derogatory term for effete millennial men."

On April 18th, 2017, BodyBuilding Forums[2] member TheFuarkingBoss submitted a thread titled "Are you a Nu Male?", along with a collage featuring photographs of Carl the Cuck, Phil Fish, John Oliver, Seth Rogen, Louis C.K. and John Green (shown below).

On November 11th, 2017, Redditor BasedGeisha submitted a collage titled "Nu-Male Starter Pack" to /r/starterpacks,[4] where it received upwards of 460 points (68% upvoted) and 280 comments over the next several weeks.

On October 30th, 2017, Redditor sexy_mofo1 submitted a post titled 'Numale Mouth' Why is that everyone that seems to be against us smiles like this in photos?", followed by an MS Paint illustration of an open-mouthed man with a beard (shown below, left).[7] In the comments section, Redditor brappablat submitted a comic in which a bearded man is shown posing with his mouth agape (shown below, right).

              This really shouldn't be compared with cuck and soyboy. Nu-males as a term is much older than the other two in memedom, and is also used primarily as a descriptive term, not an insult.

                The problem arises when said descriptive term is use wrongly for political purposes instead of actual appearances.

                  That being said, I can understand not liking labels due to the generalizations that are made. Still: any group of people sharing a similar ideology has some political significance that is worthy of discussion to anyone with relevant grievances–especially those out-of-line with the group in question–so terms like these are used to facilitate their discussion. I cannot fault anyone for either creating or using these general terms in a non-insulting manner, as I think it is natural to do so.

                    I respectfully disagree. Beatnik, hippie, hipster, biker, yuppie, wasp…it would not be difficult to think of more examples. People witness a new trend, many people part of this new trend share a similar appearance, behavior and ideology, so those outside of the trend invent a word to be able to better discuss these trends that fascinate them. I am not convinced this situation here is notably different or more problematic than similar situations were in the past.

                      At least now I know why some call these types of individuals "mouth-breathers".

                      Other than that: evident lack of self-confidence, lousy appearance, internet white knighting, etc. Those are common traits found in the pictures of those individuals classified as "nu-male".

                      I have a question though. Does memes imitates life, or life imitates memes?

                          Is this sort of childish name-calling supposed to be a serious argument? And if it is, am I supposed to just accept that this oddly specific set of people is subject to the judgement of a motley assortment of self-loathing basement dwellers? Am I missing something here, or is the 4chan crowd just getting desperate?

                              They do all have that weird open mouthed expression. It’s like when somebody pulls out their phone, the eyebrows go up, the teeth expose, and the whole gesture is one you use to get an infant to smirk.

                                The alt-right is scratching the bottom of the barrel right now. A wishful thinker would hope it's a sign of desperation. I think we all know it's because they don't have to try anymore now that they won. Apply a dash of wishful thinking to this realism, however, and we can hope that this contentedness will make them grow lazy when the meme war for the next election erupts. Their confidence will dwarf their capability, and we will finally say, once and for all, "Feel the Bern". I vote Yeezus-Deez Nuts 2020

                                    Cucks are mocked because of their far rationalisation and justification that “it is okay” while it is actually NOT. Their “life partner” does not see them as a man, so they find other man to be with while letting cucks pay for stuffs. Cucks just smile and say “it is okay, it is progressive, this is CY+3, open relationship is trendy” instead of doing something about it which they cannot or will not out of fear or inability to follow through.

                                    I mean seriously?! Letting others fuck your loved ones and justifying it as a kink or "progress" or trend?

                                      If it's not an ultimate insult, the problem's with the guy getting insulted. You just have to look at the Bike Cuck entry, the hallmark being that you're actually miserable in that situation, and you NEVER wanted to be hurt in the first place. But instead of doing something proactive about it and protect your own interests, you decide to fool yourself into thinking "it's not so bad".

                                      Prime example is a certain fat guy youtuber whose wife left him "to find herself" with another man, and he's depressed about it and constantly thinks of killing himself, but insists she's in the right and the marriage "is on hold" and that somehow it's okay for him to keep paying a lot of shit.

                                      And once again, here's the clincher: HE IS MISERABLE ABOUT IT. It's not so much a case of responsible, adult responsibility, and more of a man who's stuck in a depressing situation and doesn't know what to do.

                                          • If your partner has absolutely no sex drive then there is definitely a problem, either with the relationship or with him/her. It's called "love-making". Love doesn't work if you never make it.

                                          • The "social nonsense" is what makes societies functional. Diversity of values is great, it's essential actually, but if you don't have a common moral foundation then it's like you don't have a common language. Social life becomes impossible.

                                          • From what I understand, "cuck" has become a generic insult describing a lack of manliness. I don't think "alt righters" mean it so literally when they use it.

                                          They still do have a standard of masculinity and understand that self-improvement is important. Most people are not perfect, not even close. But you don’t need to be a hyper alpha action movie hero type to recognize your own weaknesses and work to become a better version of yourself both physically and mentally.

                                          Outright denial of standards and contentment with a pathetic existence is what’s mocked. I really do agree with feminists that having a penis doesn’t make one a man. A man needs to have character as well.

                                              masculinity is hardly just ideal traits yknow, it's also stuff like suppressing your emotions because guys aren't supposed to cry, and a whole bunch of arbitrary social rules. You can't wear these articles of clothing, move and talk in these ways, etc.

                                              personally, i just don't see why people's personalities should be predicated on their sex, if you like girly stuff and you're a guy, hey girl stuff isn't any worse than guy stuff so why not. if you're a girl and you like guy stuff, same thing.

                                                People are molded by their experiences, I believe this is a universally accepted fact. It's always part nature and part nurture. I believe that to deny kids the nurture aspect is awful parenting. By not holding a kid to a certain standard you cripple him and his whole life experience. This is why the whole anti-masculine feminist agenda is so dangerous. You can't expect your son to grow up a man if you don't teach him how to be a man. And once he becomes an independent young adult he can do whatever he pleases.

                                                  I mean, I can certainly agree with teaching character. You want your kid to be honest, hard-working, etc. But I dun see what good character has to do with masculinity and femininity, they can individually push different virtues but swap the sexes and they'd still be virtues. Hell, practice all of the ones you can and you'd be a great person. As long as the parents are well-rounded, or learn from studies and peers how to raise a child properly, whatevs.

                                                  Now if you're making the point that masculinity and its facets are being unfairly pressed down by femininity in culture, I have a lot less qualms, though I'm not sure of the accuracy there. I'd rather gender roles be taken down mutually rather than pushing the behavior of one over the other in general though, unless you got some real solid evidence that one social role is more harmful than the other to society.

                                                    to clarify that last part, I mean gender roles being taken down as in, allowing anyone to practice them, and abandoning the ones that are self-destructive or hurt others. Personally, I feel femininity and masculinity have similar flaws that let some unfortunate things happen in society, but also promote some virtues that help society. I feel it's roughly equal in both parts.

                                                                                                  I know that is how insults or curses' effectiveness wane when they get used so often and people take the word's power away by reducing it to a meaningless or unoffensive word.

                                                                                                  One thing that is surprising me though how quickly the words seem to be getting replaced or added. Probably due to how the words aren't really that offensive sounding and just more confusing since the context or meaning isn't obvious to anyone. I remember some people IRL using the word cuck but having no clue what it means at all, kind of how like bastard or bitch once had more offensive meanings but nowadays people use them without little thought as to what they mean now or originally.

                                                                                                  Also nice choice of The Boondocks, that was one hell of a show.
