===[[-cel]]===
Suffix denoting [[involuntary celibate]]. Used in the formation of the words: [[gymcel]], [[height]]cel, [[bald]]cel, [[workcel]], [[wrist]]cel, etc. The stem word indicates the condition that made him incel, an activity that the incel pursues to compensate or cope with his lack of success with women, or just an incel that happens to possess the quality. For example, a bald''cel'' is a [[balding]] man who is unattractive to women because of his [[hair loss]]. A gym''cel'' is a man who spends his free time exercising in the hopes that a fit [[bodily attractiveness|body]] will cause him to become more attractive to women. A [[currycel|curry'''cel''']] is a South Asian male who happens to be an incel. See incel for specifics.
It is also used more generally to refer to people that possess a specific trait, even if they aren't incels, usually as a form of trolling. This latter form of usage originated on the [[PSL]] forums.
===[[-maxx/-maxxing/-max]]===
An effort to improve an aspect of one's life to secure sexual and/or romantic intimacy. "Maximize" it. Used to denote self-improvement in general.
===[[-mogged]]===
Suffix indicating being dominated by another person. The stem word denotes the feature that one is being dominated by. Derives from the [[pick up artist|PUA]] term AMOG, or "alpha male of the group".

Deliberately trying to humiliate or otherwise dominate others was advocated as a form of increasing your perceived social value to women by pick-up artists, this usage later morphed to refer to any feature that supposedly contributes to perceptions of social dominance in general, many of which are proposed in a facetious manner.

''Examples:''
====[[heightmogged]]====
Being dominated by another man’s [[height]].
====[[wristmogged]] ====
Being dominated by a man with a thicker wrist. 
====[[skullmogged]]====

===[[-pill]]===
Refers to embracing a type of philosophy or worldview. Coined from the movie ''[[The Matrix]]'' where the character Morpheus gives the protagonist Neo the option to either accept his harsh reality by swallowing a [[red pill]] or to go back to being connected to the matrix (a comforting illusion) by swallowing the blue pill.
This analogy spawned [[pill jargon|several terms]] that use the word -pill as a suffix to denote different realizations or worldviews:
====[[redpill]]====
In regards to involuntary celibacy, confronting the idea that exchanges of material value largely drive one's mating success, as opposed to abstract concepts like "love", and that female [[hypergamy]] limits the majority of men's sexual success. A guy like Undead Chronic is a good example:https://www.youtube.com/@undeadchronicxiv4189
====[[bluepill]]====
The preference of believing in a comforting or convenient lie, especially when it concerns a person's worldview. In regards to involuntary celibacy, this essentially refers to attitudes that minimize the role of individual differences, such as physical attractiveness, or social constraints in driving human mating success in favor of platitudes such as "you'll find someone one day" and the like.
====[[blackpill]]====
A [[fatalism|fatalistic]]/[[depressed]] version of [[red pill]], particularly one focused on external solutions as opposed to individual ones or on the importance of physical attractiveness in driving men's dating success.
====[[purplepill]]====
The stance of being neutral or on the fence with regards to gender relations; i.e. not on the [[manosphere]] side, nor on the feminist side. In certain manosphere circles, the term is utilized in a pejorative way to refer to men who have internalized certain "redpill truths" but still hold to certain "bluepill" ideals.
====[[whitepill|whitepill]]====
The acceptance phase of the [[blackpill]]. When one seeks to assimilate blackpill knowledge to either improve your life or to find ways of [[coping]] with being a male that is disadvantaged by factors the blackpill discusses.
The term has also been used by some to refer to the negation of the [[black pill]] i.e another form of the [[bluepill]].
====[[pinkpill]]====
The [[femcel]] version of the blackpill that either inverts several blackpill claims (i.e accusing men of being the hypergamous sex) or otherwise asserts that women are disadvantaged in the dating market vis-à-vis men. A femcel philosophy.
===[[-pilled]]===

Alpha fucks / beta buxx. Refers to a woman who gets fucked by alphas and settles down with a beta. The term is inspired by a concept in evolutionary psychology, known as strategic pluralism. The strategic pluralism hypothesis maintains that women are evolutionary adapted (in certain circumstances) to cheat on their male long-term partners with men that possess "[[good genes hypothesis|good genes]]" in order to both receive provision and protection from the beta while getting the "good genes" for their offspring from attractive men.

A secondary usage of this term was coined by writer [[Vox Day]], describings betas as subordinate alpha males (and thus as men of relatively high rank) as is commonly found in the animal kingdom.

===bid===
Bids (or biddys) resemble [[#cuck, cuckold|cucks]] in that they put resources into a relationship which does not benefit their own progeny, either caring for another man's young or putting resources into a woman who is sleeping with other men.

The difference is that unlike the traditional cuck who is deceived, '''bids''' willingly consent to engage in these types of relationships, openly adopting children they know are not their own, or consenting to an "open" relationship which allows sex with other men while the man gets no extra sex at all.

Bids often engage in "cuckold fetishism" where they roleplay that they are being cheated on, but that isn't real cuckolding, just like rape roleplay is not real rape. That said, bids often get cucked for real, as their foids do not respect them and will easily step outside the "boundaries" the bid thinks he can set for her.

The etymology of bids is a shortening from the 2nd syllable of cebidae, a family of monkeys including the subfamily callitridae which includes the polyandrous marmoset/tamarin monkeys who become pathetic "non-reproductive helpers" while their polyandrous "mates" only allow the Chad monkeys to impregnate them.

===[[bone law]]===

===[[bonepressed]]===
Measuring the size of one's penis by pushing the pubic fat all the way down to the bone when using a ruler. This technique is the most accurate way of measuring penis length due to the wide variation between pubic fat composites among men, though measuring in this way is deemed a 'cope' by some.
===[[bone smash theory]]===
A theory predicated on the principle of [[Wolff's law]] (the idea that bones will grow in response to the stress placed on them), [[bone smash theory]] asserts that you can cause bone growth by exposing the bone to repeated blunt trauma.

==C==
===[[carrot theory]]===
In certain studies, a slightly yellowish [[skin]] complexion is shown to be a highly significant predictor of preferences for mate selection for both genders. This tint is easiest to achieve with moderate beta-carotene consumption, which is abundant in carrots, hence the name. In layman's terms it would be called 'healthy skin glow' theory, the opposite of it is pale skin, this glow was preferred even over a natural tan.
===[[canthal tilt]]===
The angle of the [[lateral canthus]] (outside corner of [[eye]]) in relation to the [[medial canthus]] (inside corner of the eye). A positive [[canthal tilt]] means the lateral canthus is higher on the face in proportion to the medial canthus, whereas a negative [[canthal tilt]] means the lateral canthus is lower on the face than the medial canthus. Some lookism forum users claim that a negative [[canthal tilt]] is an extremely unattractive feature on men. They argue that it looks droopy and unintimidating.

For both men and women, a positive [[canthal tilt]] is argued to be ideal. It can be argued that an overly positive canthal tilt is a slightly negative trait in males, as it is a feminine feature. Also, an overly positive tilt can provide the face with an unusual appearance. Most male sex symbols have a neutral or slightly positive canthal tilt. A negative canthal tilt gives a drowsy, tired appearance, Though there are men who are attractive despite a negative canthal tilt, such as [[Adrien Brody]], [[Aubrey Graham]], [[Adam Gallagher]] and [[André Hamann]].
===[[Chad]]===
A physically attractive male, typically white. With a [[PSL]] rating of 6.5/8 or higher.

Ethnic counterparts:
*Tyrone - black
*Chaddam or Chabdul- Arab
*Chadpreet or Chaddeep - Indian
*Chang - East Asian

Chads usually aren't redpilled nor redpillers, but some rare intersections may still occur, and the same goes for Blackpill relative to them. As long as it makes sense to a chad not take the redpill (because he's to busy getting laid instead of thinking), it doesn't necessary make sense to abandon Redpill as a chad after it, since many still believe that any man has the power of choice regarding relationships, marriage and their problems encompassed by Redpill. Relationships generally is the conceptual limit from one typical Redpill perspective of discussion because if life is just "pump and dump", there's no point in discussing it outside the PUA pure domain too, also because redpillers, or usurpers from the original MRA meaning, today talks more about seduction and how to continue this lifestyle than male civil rights or difficulty in gain attraction.

In the MGTOW redpill's conceptual sense, if someone believes that not even chads escape problems in marriage, then this definition would apply and not be discarded to encompassing Chads within this group. Although there is still a philosophical issue about whether every MGTOW still has a choice, and whether a Chad can have something in common with red-MGTOWs, whose a common trope on incel forums is being incels in denial. What would be certain is the irrelevance of whether a chad would be or still blackpilled after ascension (in rare cases), since he almost ubiquitously was already born predestined for success and would think that it doesn't exist, because of his biased vision of personal success projected for every person. However, an act of abandoning or not being involved in blackpill discussions since the beginning wouldn't refute it, but merely stop someone to believing for everyone or himself, just like redpillers on incels, still delusional on their part.

===[[Chadlet]]===
A manlet (Short) Chad

A high [[midface ratio]], a high [[fWHR]], a short [[head]], a short [[chin]], a short [[forehead]], high [[bizygomatic width]], or [[wide-set eyes]]. Compact midfaces are considered attractive for females because they are a [[neoteny|neotenous feature]]. Some argue that it is also a positive feature for males, as a long midface is nearly universally seen as a negative feature. The concept was promoted by Phoenix Wright/Yatterman at missjfacialplasticsurgery.com, Love-Shy forums, and PuaHate.

===[[Colez biker gang]]===
A random collection of users creating ludicrous [[meme]] like [[bad boy]] characters to parody the [[masculinity crew]] using exaggerations.

===[[cope]]===
Adopting an untrue belief, to avoid the pain that comes from facing a harsh, unpleasant reality. 

Sometimes used by [[lookist]]s to point out that any effort other than [[plastic surgery]] is merely a [[coping mechanism]] and not productive toward finding a partner. The insulting nature of the word lends its use to trolls seeking to make others feel bad for daily activities. It is also frequently used as a generic low-effort reply on incel forums.

'''Example:'''

Coping: ''"Yes, I did lose both my legs due to a car accident, which lead to losing my job and my wife divorcing me. But I can honestly say that my life is better now, I've learned to appreciate the small things."''
