Definitions
A direct call-out or self-assessment moment where someone examines — or gets examined by their friends — for signs of simping behavior. A simping check is the intervention, the 'bro, you good?' moment delivered when someone has been going way too hard for a person who clearly isn't reciprocating. It can be a group-chat interrogation, a solo mirror-moment at 2am, or a full friend-group tribunal. The check is not always welcomed but is almost always necessary.
We need to do a simping check on Tyler — he just bought her concert tickets and she hasn't texted back in four days.

- simp check88%
A simp check is a public or semi-public test designed to determine whether someone's actions toward another person cross the line from genuine care into full simp territory. The simp check usually involves identifying patterns: Are you giving without receiving? Are you defending someone online who doesn't know you exist? Are you changing your personality, schedule, or standards for someone who is clearly not reciprocating? Simp checks can be self-administered (a quiet moment of clarity) or delivered by a friend who's watched you spiral for too long. Either way, the results can be uncomfortable.
- simping71%
Excessive showering of attention or money on someone you're romantically interested in — hoping they'll notice. Often self-deprecating ("I'm simping over a Spotify recommendation"). The verb has been declawed by ironic use; the original PUA-forum sting is mostly gone.
- int check70%
A call-out or self-assessment determining whether someone is playing intentionally badly in a game — deliberately dying, feeding kills, or throwing objectives on purpose. Dropping an int check on a teammate is equal parts accusation and interrogation: are you actually this bad or is something deliberate happening here? The check invites either a confession, a defensive explanation, or a meltdown in chat. A staple of competitive gaming communication, it has migrated into everyday discourse to question whether someone's terrible decision-making is wilful or just genuinely catastrophic.
- glazed check70%
A call-out or self-assessment to determine whether someone is excessively simping — glazed over with uncritical admiration for a person, brand, or content creator. A glazed check is often issued by a friend who has watched you defend something indefensible one too many times. It is an intervention disguised as a meme.
- sigma check70%
A moment of self-examination or peer scrutiny to determine whether someone is actually living up to sigma male ideals — independent, unbothered, self-directed — or just performing the aesthetic. A sigma check is a reality audit: are you actually moving in silence and building, or are you just posting sigma edits while fishing for validation? The term is used both earnestly in manosphere communities and satirically by everyone else.
