The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, which gained popularity in 2017, originates from a stock photo by photographer Antonio Guillem. It features a man glancing at another woman walking by, while his girlfriend looks on disapprovingly. The meme typically uses labels over the three characters to represent various concepts, with the boyfriend's wandering gaze symbolizing distraction or temptation away from a current focus or commitment. Its versatility allows it to humorously express scenarios of shifting attention or priorities, making it widely relatable and adaptable across different contexts, from personal relationships to technology and everyday choices, thus contributing to its viral success.
