Today I would like us to delve deeper into what separates a regular man from a "Chad".
• When did they start?
• What are their drives and motivations?
• Can anybody become a Chad or is it based in your genetics?
Well, please join me as we try and find the source and the reasoning behind the Chad.
The name Chad originated back in the Saxon times, influenced by the Welsh word chad meaning "battle". It is safe to assume that the name 'Ceadda', as it was pronounced was given to men that were warriors, fighters with the will of iron and the strength of the Ox.
But the earliest recorded use of the name 'Chad' was Chad of Mercia, a prominent 7th century Anglo-Saxon churchman, who became abbot of several monasteries. It is stated that "They certainly had close connections throughout the Northumbrian ruling class" from a young age.
This must mean that that the earliest Chad was not self made, but born into wealth with connections and contacts.
Until the 20th Century, the name was rarely used as a given name in Europe. In the United States, Chad first entered the top 1000 names for male children in the United States in 1945, when it was the 997th most popular name.
Its popularity suddenly peaked beginning in the mid 1960s, reaching rank 25 in 1972 and 1973. Around the same time, the term "jock" was introduced, which was derived from the word "Jockstrap", an undergarment used to support the male genitalia for certain sports with vigorous physical activity.
Since throughout the 20th century the jock has been in movies, always being the antagonist to the main character (for example Biff Tannen in Back to the Future).
The stereotypes that have amassed from the 'jocks', as listed are:

>Stuck-up and self-centered
>Aggressive, angered quickly, egotistical, offended easily, and short-tempered
>Rude and arrogant
>Handsome, muscular, and athletic
>Unintelligent
>Abusing alcohol
>Generally popular with girls and dates only cheerleaders
>Sex – earlier and more often and casual
>Bullying people "uncool" or less popular than they are, such as nerds, geeks, goths, or outsiders
>Highly homophobic
>Don't cry
>Afraid to hug or hold a friend too long
>Don't show weakness or fear
>Misogynistic
>Revered
All of these traits that have come from the term "jock" are closely sidelined with what many /fit/izens would associate with 'Chad'. Topped with the US's college's favoritism of highly athletic students that go to ivy league colleges, the 'jocks' or 'chads' are given preferential treatment.
The jock defined in urban dictionary(circa 2004) is :
>Rude, arrogant, stupid, beats up people, dates only cheerleaders and hangs around other jocks.
When researched, the name Chad is associated with famous athletes, band members and actors. Only a small percentage of the Chad is associated with professions outside the previously mentioned.
It was only in the 21st century when 'Geek Culture' really took into effect, with films such as 'Napoleon Dynamite (2004)'. But even before then, Revenge of the Nerds (1984), showed a similar trait. But more so, films that came out much later in 1999, the infamous 'American Pie' movies, which characters like Stiffler, and the 'Jackass series', which promoted Chad like activities for the millennial generation.
As the internet age grew, so did the Chads. Websites like Myspace and Facebook were dominated with fraternity brothers, who utilized the technology to their own benefit, making it easier to pursue their goal of sex and excessive drinking.

When the Dot Com bubble grew, many popular websites that were developed suddenly gained in popularity. The new 'cool' was not in sports, but 'coding'. Developing new websites and apps. Mark Zuckerburg was the king of cool. This trend continued to grow and the kids then, who are teenagers and adults now, considered this the norm.
Liking anime, video games, fantasy TV shows is the new norm. The so called 'Pop-Geek' generation of millennials has arisen. You would think that this would be the end of chads? No. They found their way in the system, making YouTube channels that were centered around their 'Vlogs', playing FIFA and similar activities.
Now, the once authentic culture on the internet (pre 2008) was ruined. Creativity has become overrun with watered down, politically friendly 'Mey meys' and complete exposure and cooperation purchasing of popular websites became the norm, shoving their corporate interests down the throats of their viewers.

You can visually see that with each year the videos become more and more watered down. As the years progress, less people are recognized and it is filled with Chads and Stacy's that make the video look good. The Chads won again, forcing out genuine creativity for the same watered down content that the masses continued to indulge in.
With the rise of cringe-videos, where people online made fun of people who were 'cringy'. As being geeky was the new cool, the furrys, bronies, weeaboos, fedora athiests and such were the new 'nerds'. Who can say how long it will be until those hobbies are considered the social norm? Who anyone in the past believe that the nerdy kids in the back of the classroom would one day be the popular kids?
Will the Chad continue to exist or will they die out in the next generation?

What can be said is that only the future can tell. Females will continue to be attracted to the more muscular and handsome men, cucking their beta partners. the future looks bleak, but we can only hope for the best.

Chad doesn't bully, Chad doesn't put you down. Chad isn't unintelligent, or arrogant.
What makes a Chad so infuriating, is they're nice, they're respectful, they don't treat anybody differently for any reason. A Chad is tall, muscular, handsome, and lean. He is a social butterfly, had an upbringing with loving parents who encouraged him, and wanted him to do good. He's always had an easy time with girls. He isn't arrogant, or cocky, but he is confident. Chad is everything you want to be, but nothing you can obtain because you don't have the genetics or the childhood.
Chads are born, not made.

None of these are characteristics of Chad. Chad is in every way a well-adjusted, genuinely nice and courteous, highly intelligent and very open and honest with who he is.
Some of this emotional stability and high intelligence are owed of course to his objectively superior genetic qualities, but also to a lifetime of validation, friendliness and reinforcement, leading him to have no need to lie or conceal himself, nor to exploit or malign other people.
The fact remains that Chad is in fact not only physically and socially superior to the common incel beta cuck, but in fact also his moral, spiritual and intellectual superior.

There are 2 things you didn't take into account:
1. YT algorithm. I belive around 2008 (or later can't remember) YT sopped promoting videos that got tons of vievs (even if it ment viewer seeing 1 second of 1 hour video) and changed to promoting videos with more viewminuets or whatever it's called.
2.General population shifted more towards the internet. You don't buy newspapers, you read news online. You don't watch television anymore, you watch YT/Netflix. You were just earlier.

I would say the amount of Chads gets higher with age.
Like there are very few 16 year old Chads. Those guys were mostly just born with it. But as men get into their 30s and 40s, a lot more of them seem to wake up and turn into a badass person (a la Chad).
Could just be my perception. Also an important distinction is the definition of Chad changes with age. As an oversimplified example, 16 year old guy will think anyone who has a lot of sex or is good at football is a Chad. But a guy in his 40s will think anyone who is attractive and makes 250k a year is a Chad.

This is true. Sure you can improve yourself in certain areas but you will never be CHAD.
