/SOFT-boy/
FIL: Isang modernong katawagan para sa isang lalaki na nagpapakita ng emosyonal na sensitibidad at interes sa sining at kultura, ngunit kadalasan ay ginagamit ito upang manipulahin ang damdamin ng iba para sa pansariling kapakinabangan, partikular sa romantikong konteksto.
EN: Softboy
He's not the typical 'bad boy'. He's the guy who quotes poetry, loves indie films, and sends you 'kamusta ka?' texts at 2 AM. He seems deep and sensitive, but 'yan ang style niya ng panlalandi. He'll make you feel special with his emotional vulnerability, then ghost you when he gets what he wants. It's emotional manipulation with a tote bag and a ukulele. Ingat, sis!
From English 'soft boy'.
A modern slang term used in dating and social media culture. Carries a negative connotation of manipulative behavior disguised as sensitivity.
