Ever wonder why that cute boy in your 8am econ class is wearing green pastel chino shorts? Well, that’s a dead giveaway that he is a Chad. No one likes Chads, and if they claim they like Chads, they’re lying. Chads can be found in large numbers at Frat houses, local hipster bars, and nu metal concerts. Here are some other dead giveaways as to how to spot a Chad:
–The half tuck: If he has half his shirt tucked behind his belt and partially into his jeans, than know that he is potentially a Chad. Only tools tuck their shirts partially into their pants. Come on dude, tuck that baby blue lactose pique polo into your pants, or do not tuck it in at all.
–Claiming they call their mom– Chad’s will claim they call their mothers twice a week. Obviously, if they called their mom twice a week, they would know not to do the half tuck. (see above)
–They think they are Gods gift to women- Chads think they’re amazing at everything, including sex. Don’t be fooled by their flirtatious ways, they’re just trying to get into your pants. Feel free to have some fun with this one though, it’s amazing what one, well timed, sarcastic remark can do to a Chads ego.
–The first boy to take his shirt off as soon as the temperature spikes above 55: This one has a little room for interpretation. Ever seen that large group of guys hanging out on the fratio (frat patio) with all their shirts off? Obviously Chads. More often than not, a Chad can be seen long boarding down college ave in a “suns out guns out” tank and board shorts when it’s a mere 56 degrees. Probably pushing mongo as well.
And finally, Chad’s are totally and completely oblivious to their Chad status. No matter what, they think they’re the coolest person to walk the face of the Earth.
These are just a few of the giveaways to spotting a Chad. However, be aware that there are a few categories of Chads:
Type 1 Chad- The Frat Boy Chad
– frat tanks with their frat letters, usually a size too small
– carrying a long board that their parents bought them
Type 2 Chad- The Preppy Chad
– pastel, usually designer, polo
– sperry topsiders and raybans
– actively rocking the half tuck
Type 3 Chad- The Discrete/Casual Chad
– cannot tell the full Chad potential until he opens his mouth…
– this chad is only visible in warm weather
Type 4 Chad- The Drunken Chad
– only shows up when kegs of keystone or handles of McCormicks are around
– thinks that he can out drink anyone at the party; beer pong extraordinaire
– sloppy. (you won’t miss him, he’ll be standing on the bar)
Keep in mind that not all cute guys are Chads. This is merely an article to keep you aware and keep your eyes open for when you may be swooning over a boy that will eventually just rip you’re heart out and prove to you he really is not as cool as you first thought.
