白富美

[ SLANG ][ ARCHETYPE ]

FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: Chinese Internet CultureCLUSTER: Social Archetypes

Baifumei (白富美, "fair-skinned, rich, pretty") is slang for an idealized female archetype -- pale-skinned, wealthy, and beautiful -- serving as the mirror term to gaofushuai; it's occasionally used sarcastically.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"In the novel, the male lead ditches the 白富美 (baifumei) love interest for someone more down to earth."

LORE & ORIGIN

It emerged from the same Baidu "李毅吧" (Li Yi Tieba) forum culture, in the same 2011-2012 period as gaofushuai and diaosi, alongside related terms like 矮穷矬 ("short, poor, ugly," the loser counterpart to gaofushuai).
