Simp is an internet slang term describing someone who shows excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, typically someone who does not reciprocate the same feelings, in pursuit of affection or a sexual relationship.
Simp is a slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them. Translation? The word simp is meant to troll young men for doing anything for a girl to get some action he supposedly deserves.
How do you show a girl you like her without being a simp?
Let her know how amazing she is.
Make her feel important and good about herself. Compliment her, never put her down, and always encourage her to reach for the things she wants. Let her know when you see her do something well, even if it's just something small like helping someone else.
Simping is a submissive behaviour... flirting is an assertive one. What can be assertive or submissive in complimenting someone for looks or voice for example?
There's a difference between being a kind and generous person naturally and only doing it to close out with a crush. The word simp is meant to be derogatory and a kind of disrespectful word to troll young men for doing anything for a girl to get some action he supposedly deserves.
Essentially, a pick-me girl's main goal is to gain the attention of the men in her orbit by pointing out all the ways in which she stands out from other women and “basic” feminine interests. Instead, they focus on stereotypically “masculine” activities and opinions, regardless of whether they truly prefer them.
Urban Dictionary suggests a simp is someone who's overly desperate for another person. Most often, a simp is thought of as a guy enamored with a woman who possesses no interest in him—to the point he'll do seemingly anything for her attention.
A simping guy will go above and beyond to impress the girl he's hoping to win over. He'll constantly be talking himself up, making his job sound more important than it is, or dress to the high nines just for her. He'll do all of this without ever wanting to be impressed himself.
Although simping is not as severe or creepy as stalking, such behaviors may get seen as weak or desperate since it is a pointless endeavor that everyone can see but the simp.
Simping involves giving too much attention and affection — whether through gifts, compliments, or acts of service — as a way of seeking validation from someone else. This kind of excessive behavior usually comes from feelings of insecurity or low self-esteem.
Girls aren't naturally attracted to simps from what I gather. However, they may like having them around, for a nice dose of validation every now and then. Especially on social media, it helps them feel good about their personal image. However, don't expect a girl to like a simp because he's a simp, that's just weird.
