dc.description.abstractTorpe males are individuals who experiences difficulties when communicating or initiating social relationships with a member of the opposite sex that they like. This research entitled aSinong Torpe? A Descriptive Study of the Social Perception of the Filipino Torpe Male" aimed to identify the characteristics that are present in greater degrees in men termed as torpe and to determine if the present societal definition of the phenomenon known as katorpehan is apt and accurate with its description that torpe males are unable to converse and initiate relationships with any member of the opposite sex. In this study, the researcher utilized the descriptive method of research, which describes a certain behavior. The Big Five Personality Factor traits (openness to new experience, conscientiousness. extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism) were used to gauge how the community views the personality of a torpe male. According to the results, torpe males are mostly normal individuals. They are perceived more as having agreeable personalities; open to new experiences and as highly organized individuals. However, they are also seen as vulnerable persons, whose slightly introverted nature surfaces or increases whenever they attempt to initiate contact with a member of the opposite sex that they really like.en_US
