Remember those Venn diagrams from school — the overlapping circles that showed what stuff had in common? Well, TikTok has given them a spicy update.

Meet the “Men Diagram.”

It’s supposed to explain every man on Earth using just three traits: smart, nice, and handsome. Simple, right? But according to one viral creator, the combo you think you want might actually be a big red flag.

Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Smart + Nice? Total nerd. Probably building a computer in his spare time, not texting you back.
  • Smart + Handsome? Sorry, he’s probably a jerk. Think “gaslights but with perfect hair.”
  • Nice + Handsome? Sweet, adorable, maybe a little dim. You’ll be explaining the plot of Inception for days.
  • Smart + Nice + Handsome? Forget it. He’s gay.

The internet went wild — because, well, it kinda tracks. At least sometimes. Women everywhere are nodding, tagging friends, and screaming, “THIS IS SO TRUE.”

But let’s be real — it’s funny, not flawless. In theory, the Men Diagram nails the clichés. In real life? It’s not that simple. Some guys break the chart completely.

Think Ryan Reynolds — funny, smart, kind, and obviously handsome. Or John Krasinski, the lovable genius-next-door. Even Harry Styles seems to check every circle. So yeah, unicorns exist.

But then there are the guys who fit the diagram way too well. Leonardo DiCaprio? Smart and handsome — but maybe not dating material (unless you’re 25). Adam Driver? Smart and intense, but “nice” might depend on the day. Channing Tatum? Handsome and sweet, sure — but nobody’s asking him to solve a Rubik’s Cube.

Bottom line: The Men Diagram is hilarious and maybe a little too accurate for comfort. It’s the internet’s new astrology sign for your love life — part truth, part chaos, and all fun.
