humble trap

A hybrid of the humble brag and the thirst trap, the humble trap deploys the appearance of vulnerability and authenticity in social media posts as bait for romantic or sexual conquests.

Social media post: “I’ve been trying to learn how to put contacts in, but it’s hard because my eyelashes are so long.”

Commenter: “Ok, but why are you also shirtless in this video? Is this a humble trap?”
