词源故事 ETYMOLOGY
这个网络梗的演化堪称当代数字恋爱的缩影。2018年综艺《心动的信号》首次将『海王』从DC宇宙拽入情感领域，编剧用『你以为游进了哥哥的鱼塘，其实哥哥是个海王』的犀利台词，精准戳中快餐式社交时代的痛点。
真正引爆流行的是2020年微博用户@语文指挥中心的词条解说：『中央空调暖所有人的叫海王，只暖一人的叫暖男』。该条推文获得23万转发，评论区秒变当代情场图鉴——有人吐槽相亲对象『上午发早安，半夜说失眠』的群发套路；有人分享识破海王的三大信号：永远错开约会时间、朋友圈分组精准投放、聊天常用『在忙，晚点说』缓冲话术。
B站随后涌现《海王识别指南》系列二创视频，其中『星巴克暗号法』最为出圈：观察对方是否记得你喝美式要加多少泵糖浆。知乎相关话题下，心理学答主们深入剖析海王现象背后的『社交边际成本递减效应』，指出约会APP的右划机制如何催生情感消费主义。
典型案例：豆瓣小组『海王收容所』曾记录某沪漂男生同时维系6段『友达以上』关系，日程表精确到分钟，甚至开发Excel管理纪念日。这种极端案例虽属个别，但折射出现代都市情感中的原子化困境。
例句：『我算是看透了，张哥每周三固定消失，绝对是个深藏不露的海王！』
DEFINITION
Literal meaning: Mythological ruler of the ocean, Chinese translation for DC's Aquaman
Internet slang: Refers to someone who romantically engages with multiple partners simultaneously, often used humorously. Key aspects include:
- Maintaining a 『fish pond』 (pool of potential romantic interests)
- Master of flirting across dating apps/social circles
- Popularized by 2020 TV drama Nothing But Thirty, spawning related memes like 『time management master』
Cultural context: The 『sea』 metaphor implies vastness and abundance, humorously comparing romantic pursuits to ocean navigation. Younger generations use it with mock seriousness in social commentary.
ETYMOLOGY
The evolution of this meme mirrors digital-age romance dynamics. It began with the 2018 dating show Heart Signal, where a scriptwriter reimagined 『Sea King』 as a metaphor for modern Casanovas: 『You thought you swam into his fish pond, little did you know he rules the entire ocean.』
The term went viral in 2020 when Weibo influencer @ChineseGrammarHub posted: 『A guy who acts warm to everyone is a Sea King, while one who cherishes a single person is truly caring.』 The post sparked 230k shares, with comments becoming a battlefield of dating app horror stories—from copy-pasted goodnight texts to meticulously scheduled ghosting.
Bilibili creators then produced parody tutorials like Spotting Sea Kings: Starbucks Code Method (testing if they remember your coffee order details). On Zhihu, psychologists analyzed the 『diminishing marginal cost of emotional labor』 in swipe-right culture, comparing modern dating to emotional consumerism.
A notorious case documented on Douban『Sea King Rehabilitation Center』 involved a Shanghai bachelor juggling six ambiguous relationships using military-grade Excel sheets. While extreme, it reflects the isolation paradox in hyper-connected cities.
Example: 『Mark『disappears』every Wednesday like clockwork. Dude『s definitely an undercover Sea King!』
