Simping

Simp is a slang term describing someone who exhibits excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, typically to someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, in pursuit of affection or a sexual relationship. The term originated as a shortening of "simpleton" in the early 20th century. During the 1980s, American rappers such as Hugh E.M.C., Too Short, Sir Mix-a-Lot, 2Pac, Three 6 Mafia and E-40 made use of the term in their songs. By the early 2010s, the term was adopted by members of the manosphere, incel, and Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) forums.
