The term also refers to a specific Gigachad who became the subject of an internet meme, a model of Turkic (possibly Azerbaijani) descent, by the name of 'Ernest Khalimov' or Halimov whose heavily edited pictures went viral in 2017 after being posted on the [[4chan|/pol/ imageboard of 4chan]].<ref>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gigachad</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200813145155/https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagramreality/comments/9qoofo/the_girl_who_photoshops_her_boyfriend_into/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/berlin.1969/</ref> These edited pictures of Khalimov were apparently created as part of an 'art project' aimed at achieving the 'liberation of the male body' and 'changing the discrimination of the art canon against the nudity of the stronger sex' by the Russian photographer Krista Sudmalis.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20161012050300/http://sleekntears.com:80/about/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/sleekntears/?hl=en</ref> | The term also refers to a specific Gigachad who became the subject of an internet meme, a model of Turkic (possibly Azerbaijani) descent, by the name of 'Ernest Khalimov' or Halimov whose heavily edited pictures went viral in 2017 after being posted on the [[4chan|/pol/ imageboard of 4chan]].<ref>https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gigachad</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200813145155/https://www.reddit.com/r/Instagramreality/comments/9qoofo/the_girl_who_photoshops_her_boyfriend_into/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/berlin.1969/</ref> These edited pictures of Khalimov were apparently created as part of an 'art project' aimed at achieving the 'liberation of the male body' and 'changing the discrimination of the art canon against the nudity of the stronger sex' by the Russian photographer Krista Sudmalis.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20161012050300/http://sleekntears.com:80/about/</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/sleekntears/?hl=en</ref> | ||

He is a "10" on the [[decile scale]] and the guy who will never experience [[nonredamancy]]. He's the polar opposite of a [[truecel]] and [[inceldom]] to Gigachad is a baffling mystery, akin to the mystery of the causes behind the big bang theory to astrophysicists. In fact, Gigachad doesn't even know what [[friendzone|friendzoning]], [[sexual frustration]] or rejection feels like! | He is a "10" on the [[decile scale]] and the guy who will never experience [[nonredamancy]].

Examples of African American gigachads are Tyson Beckford, Wilt Chamberlain, Tyron Woodley (before being KO'ed by Jake Paul), Kobe Bryant, [[Stefan-Pierre Tomlin]] and [[Ovie Soko]]. Examples of White gigachads are (prime) Fabio, (prime) Dolph Lundgren, (prime) Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise (except the height) and Chris Hemsworth. Examples of Mongoloid/East Asian gigachads include Lee Min Ho, Ryo Yoshizawa, Park Solomon and Godfrey Gao. Examples of Mixed Race gigachads include [[Jeremy Meeks]] and [[Sean Kory]]. Examples of Middle Eastern and South Asian gigachads include Toni Mahfud and Imran Abbas respectively. Examples of Latino gigachads include Jay Hernandez, Ricky Martin (before coming out) and William Levy. Examples of Oceanian/Polynesian gigachads include Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Jason Momoa and Lance Franklin. The most popular men at r/LadyBoners are Franklin Delano Roosevelt JR and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. A historical example of a gigachad is [[Genghis khan|Genghis Khan]], who lived during the 13th century. Not only was he aesthetically pleasing, but he also possessed the other woman-magnet trait of [[Dark triad]], was extremely ruthless, and through his charismatic and assertive nature not only managed to conquer the world, but he managed to bed so many concubines that today, it has been estimated that roughly 1 in 200 people are his direct descendants.<ref>http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/08/1-in-200-men-direct-descendants-of-genghis-khan/</ref><ref>http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp/2010/08/1-in-200-men-direct-descendants-of-genghis-khan/</ref> | Examples of African American gigachads are Tyson Beckford, Wilt Chamberlain, Tyron Woodley (before being KO'ed by Jake Paul), Kobe Bryant, [[Stefan-Pierre Tomlin]] and [[Ovie Soko]].

Gigachads possess all the usual powers of superhuman strength, endurance, and the ability to fly. They are also extremely agile, can do acrobatics, and even flips, somersaults, and rolls. Gigachads are able to jump from incredible heights, such as from a skyscraper to a mountain top. Gigachads have the ability to scare tungsten and other metals into sublimation. | Gigachads possess all the usual powers of superhuman strength, endurance, and the ability to fly.

The exaltations of real-life gigachads sometimes give off the impression that a bulk of gigachads incline towards the [[apex fallacy]]. For example one well known gigachad is called Steven Schapiro. he has collected the phone numbers of [[gigastacies]] and [[stacylite]]s at a quantity that would easily hit six digits. Yet he seems surprised at the notion that other guys can't get a single such number, let alone figures that are similar to his. This is called the [[apex fallacy]], the idea that the most elite members of a specific demographic have similar trajectories as those at the bottom. The clearest example of this is on a video that Schapiro uploaded onto the vlogging channel The Daily Dropout on 5 December 2019, called "Have You Seen One of These Before?". | The exaltations of real-life gigachads sometimes give off the impression that a bulk of gigachads incline towards the [[apex fallacy]].

The clearest example of this is on a video that Schapiro uploaded onto the vlogging channel The Daily Dropout on 5 December 2019, called "Have You Seen One of These Before?". In his video, Schapiro suggests to one of the girls (whose number he just received without asking) that 99% of guys are scared of approaching top-of-the-range pretty girls. This is true. Most guys ''are'' afraid of doing that. Yet, Schapiro appears to ridicule these men by gaslighting them into thinking that they have a chance - that the average guys cautiousness or pessimism is irrational. Steven Schapiro appears to be oblivious to the fact that he's a gigachad. | ||

In peculiar situations, it is still possible for gigachads to experience inceldom, such as gigachads in prison, or some other sex-segregated environment such as partaking in a boy-scouting organization or working in an all-male oil rig environment. However, Jeremy Meeks has shown that even morally questionable convicts still benefit from the [[halo effect]], thus by extension, inheriting a societal position whereby he has been assured an easy pathway towards a romantic life. In a nutshell, the gigachad is in a win-win situation; due to his looks he can't lose in the dating scene, even if a calamity befalls him. | In peculiar situations, it is still possible for gigachads to experience inceldom, such as gigachads in prison, or some other sex-segregated environment such as partaking in a boy-scouting organization or working in an all-male oil rig environment.
