Who Is Wife Guy And Why Is Everyone Going On About Him?

Robbie Tripp is 'lord of the desert, protector of the peach' according to his Instagram bio. But you'll likely know him from his 2017 viral Instagram post of him and his wife, Sarah. He posted a picture of the two in swimwear, with the caption 'I love this woman and her curvy body. As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as "chubby" or even "fat." Going on to explain that she's a 'real woman', not a 'porn star or bikini mannequin or a movie character', he proclaimed his love for her body in what has since become the most cringe-worthy sanctimonious caption ever. Then, two years later, he released his first rap single. Yes, really. 'Chubby Sexy' includes lyrics such as 'she like a dude that's woke / we like a girl that's weighty', 'some say a curvy girl that's risky / But they ain't met a curvy girl that's frisky' and '200 pounds no flat tummy / she don't a man yeah she chubby yummy'.The 'body positive anthem' is meant to be 'empowering' for him as 'an artist'. 'Not many guys are out there promoting this opposite-gender body positivity,' he told New York Magazine, 'I'm just here to say there are those of us out there, guys out there, who find curvy women attractive, beautiful, and desirable.' And so Curvy Wife Guy continues to capitalise on loving a woman despite the fact one aspect of her body doesn't conform to traditional beauty standards (she is, objectively, attractive by traditional standards otherwise). All praise to the peach protector.

A Wife Guy story that turned the entire genre on its head, Elf Wife Guy was actually famous in his own right before his wife-related scandal submerged his entire identity into complete Wife Guy territory. ProJared, a gamer YouTuber with near 800,000 followers, shot to viral fame last month when he released a statement that he was divorcing his fellow gamer wife, Heidi O'Ferrell. Heidi is a designer and cosplayer who dresses up like an elf. Soon after his statement that warned followers of 'rumours, speculation and gossip going around', Heidi tweeted that he had had an affair with fellow gamer Holly Conrad. 'I have no idea what announcement he just made because he blocked me', she tweeted, going on to explain that his divorce statement was an attempt to 'silence' her before she could reveal anything.Their messy online separation garnered tons of attention, with further statements about their supposed polyamorous relationship fuelling the fire and Jared's reputation as a gamer quickly dwindling as his Wife Guy status mounted.

One of the most recent Wife Guy stories, Choreplay Wife Guy is husband to Bridietz, an online influencer with 75k followers. When she posted a picture of her husband holding a sign that said 'helping with the housework so you can get lucky is called choreplay', their attempt at #relationshipgoals went viral. Of course, the post received immense backlash for its perpetuation of archaic gender norms. However, it will from now on be known as the last straw in Wife Guydom, from which all opinion piece journalists had no other option but to expose this terrifying phenomenon.

The original wife guy, this story went viral back in 2013 when a photo was posted to Reddit of a garage door, on it spray painted 'Stop Now. Don't e-mail my wife!!!!'. While the husband responsible for the graffiti was never revealed, the incident has since been dubbed 'patient zero of contemporary wife content' by Miles Klee, according to the New Yorker. Essentially, the wife meme was born with one angry man who didn't understand how to send someone to spam.

Shonduras is another YouTuber whom was more of a Family Guy than simply a Wife Guy until about two weeks ago. With a YouTube channel dedicated to posting content about his family life, Shonduras (aka Shaun McBride) went viral after posting a video with the Twitter caption 'I watched my wife fall off a cliff…'. The video, better described as his wife falling down a hill, quickly garnered over 800,000 views and a lot of online commentary. Turning the title into various song lyrics like 'It goes like this the fourth, the fifth, I watched my wife fall off a cliff', the post received one of the best meme treatments and put Shaun into Wife Guy territory forever.

Another unknown Wife Guy, now known as Fantasy Wife Guy, was also born from a territorial fight for said wife. He was born from one fateful email, shared via Twitter, sent to his 'girlfriend's husband'. Essentially revealing some sort of falsified affair to this man, the sender stated he had been 'bowled over' by 'a deep wellspring of powerful emotions' and hoped the wife in question would 'grow and explore in other ways that she can share with everyone she loves'. It quickly became apparent this man was a grade A fantasist and the memes were endless, 'Is this the real wife / Is this just fantasy', one user responded.

The most exciting Wife Guy stories, of course, appear on Reddit. This particular subreddit one would expect to be overwhelmingly boring, but alas, the Trader Joe subreddit was on fire on the 4th of June. Asking for recommendations for a particular lentil-based product that WannabeTypist11 wanted to make for his wife (note: this part is very important), one user responded with some sweet advice about how delicious the product was. 'Let me just open with the fact that I'm going to be extremely critical of what you've just written', WannabeTypist11 replied.'If I'm making it for my wife, who I'll note is very particular, I'll need to know exactly how to prepare the food,' he exclaimed. 'Am I going to have to purchase other products in order for my wife to enjoy her meal?' he asked, before adding 'why mention your unsatisfied significant others opinion if you're trying to get my wife to try it in the first place?'.
