himbo

Muscular but vacant

A himbo is an attractive but unintelligent man—the male equivalent of bimbo.

The term combines affection with gentle mockery, suggesting someone whose appeal is primarily physical: He's a total himbo, but he's sweet.

Unlike bimbo, himbo often carries a tone of endearment rather than dismissal, implying the man is likeable despite lacking depth.
