When eating shrimp, it’s best to ignore the head. And in China, a lot of people think the same about their boyfriends. A “shrimp-like boyfriend” is a man who has an average (or below-average) face, but a smoking hot body. The term was first used by Chinese netizens to describe Li Dan, a popular Chinese talk show performer. Besides “shrimp-like boyfriends,” young Chinese often also describe men as “dog-like boyfriends” – referring to someone who’s a devoted partner – or as a mature, considerate “father-like boyfriend.”
