Read my update of Ceadda, which is predecessor to Chad in spelling. It applies directly to Chad and is more thorough in detail & history.

A Chad, in derogatory slang, is a young urban American man, typically single and in his 20s or early 30s. The term originated in Chicago, Illinois. It was further covered by a satirical website dedicated to the Lincoln Park Chad Society, a fictional social club based in Chicago's upscale Lincoln Park neighborhood. The female counterpart to the Chad, in slang, is the "Trixie" or "Stacy". A Chad was originally depicted as originating in Chicago's affluent North Shore suburbs, receiving a BMW for his 16th birthday, obtaining a law or business degree from a Big Ten University, belonging to a fraternity, moving to Lincoln Park, marrying a Trixie, and then moving back to the North Suburbs.
Chad was later appropriated in incel forums to refer to sexually active alpha males.
