Nima

Pronounced "Nee-Mah." A cultural term used to describe a certain type of Persian male. Guys who are nimas are typically considered to be delicate, fragile, and somewhat effeminate. Basically, a way to refer to a beta male . Generally used positively in America and most regions of Iran, but used negatively in Isfahan and Tehran. The term is generally thought to be related to the Persian poet Nima Yooshij, who was renowned for his emotional and romantic poetry.

His delicate fingers make him seem like a nima.

I don't think he'd do well in a fight, he's too much of a nima.
