AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "Virgin vs. Chad" meme, alternatively known as the "Virgin Walk," features a series of illustrations that contrast sharply between two male figures. One, labeled 'virgin,' generally represents a man with low self-confidence and submissive body language. This figure is often depicted walking with hands in his pockets and eyes cast downwards. The other figure, dubbed 'Chad Thundercock,' personifies confidence and alpha male traits, showcasing a bold, assertive posture. These illustrations typically highlight exaggerated differences in behavior, appearance, and social status between the two.

OriginWho did it first?

The concept of the 'Virgin vs. Chad' meme began on a 4chan board when a user introduced a list of behaviors characteristic of a 'virgin' on April 23rd, 2016. This list featured the 'infamous virgin walk,' described as walking with hands in pockets while looking downward (source). Expanding on this idea, an illustrative representation of the 'virgin walk' was shared on March 25th, 2017, establishing the visual style of contrasting 'virgin' behaviors against those of the hyper-masculine 'Chad' in meme form (source).^[1]
