Reply Guy

What is a reply guy?

A man who replies to all of a woman's social media posts

A reply guy is a man who replies to every social media post that a woman makes. Each time his targeted woman (or more likely, women) posts an update, the reply guy is there, ready to offer his "insight" on that woman's thoughts or experiences.

Usually, reply guys' comments consist of slightly-patronizing affirmations, unnecessary mansplaining, and overly-familiar praise or criticism. While much of this commentary is largely harmless, most women still find dealing with reply guys to be quite annoying. And in some cases, a woman's reply guy(s) might cross the line, becoming a full-on (and potentially dangerous) creeper.

Example

It only took a half hour for my IG reply guy to follow me to Threads
Yeah, I saw his comment on your first post. Ick
