8. Did anyone ever use "Chad" for "a man they admire"? If so, how many years ago was that?

It gained fame in the incel movement as a boy/man who unfairly got all the girls/women (because they had been brainwashed to like that type, blah blah blah).

I'm sure that Gaetz used it to try and get incel support; though the use, when Gaetz bragged about the amount of sex he got, doesn't make sense (unless Gaetz is admitting he had to pay anyone to fuck him, as suggested above; but that amount of self-awareness and honesty seems unlikely for him).
