What is a Himbo?

Himbo is a male version of a bimbo. A term that was pretty popular in 80s and possibly used as early as the 60s. Classically both words were meant to be derogatory to describe an attractive but not terribly bright individual. As with many slang words used in popular culture the meaning has evolved and is not always used in the strictest sense of what they once meant. By modern standards some have chosen to embrace being a himbo as positive identity. They are typically friendly, good natured, and like to feel good about themselves, and those close to them.

Some say jokingly the modern himbo code is three pillars:

Pure of heart
Strong of Muscle
Dumb of Ass

But even by those guides it is not always a strict rule that someone has to completely and absolutely embody these traits. Not all Himbos are idiots. Some can be quite smart at times, but also have their "I don't get it" moments to things or not terribly complex things going over their sweet little heads. Those that identify as or aspire to be a himbo are usually guys that love to workout, get buff, be happy, be sex positive, try not to sweat little things, prefer being nice over being an asshole, and to not spend too much time thinking...especially about things that will only bring them stress.
