Proto-simp

A man who is desperate and obsessed for women even if they are a bad person or after they have already expressed their disinterest in him. However, unlike a simp, he wont do everything for her.

Example 1: a simp will buy a $3000 dollar ring to appease his crush.

However protosimp wants to appease his crush, but realizes $3000 is kind of a stupid amount of money. He opts for a $200 ring instead.

Example 2: A simp is submissive and obsesses over a girl even after she treats him like dirt or keeps telling him she isn’t interested. He will buy her Dunkins everyday with his own money and she won’t even say thanks.

A protosimp is still stupidly obsessed with his crush, however, he understands buying his crush Dunkins everyday with his own money isn’t really worth the time—unless his crush provided him with money he may decide to pick it up for her.
