Hi-Guy

The "Hi Guy" or "Hi Guys" are individuals, often men, who initiate conversations, particularly with women on dating apps, by simply saying "Hi" or "hi." This behavior is typical among a sub-group of hetero-normative men engaged in heterosexual interactions. The "Hi Guy" often lacks self-confidence and harbors insecurities about his masculinity and self-worth. These insecurities manifest as an exaggerated sense of arrogance, creating a false self-image as a macho man, womanizer, or self-proclaimed alpha. This false arrogance masks their deep-seated insecurity and inability to trust in their own abilities or moral worth. The "Hi Guy" projects a facade of dominance but fails to engage in meaningful conversations, revealing a high level of confidence without the foundation of genuine self-esteem. Conversely, "hi-Guys" exhibit a high sense of self-worth but lack the confidence to accomplish tasks. Their unwillingness to reconcile this imbalance leads them to maintain an unrealistic self-image, further widening the gap between their perceived and actual abilities. This results in increasing arrogance, a superiority complex, and a tendency to take credit for others' achievements while failing to contribute meaningfully.
