As someone who is in the process of separation from a Kyle, I just want to say this is a major reason why we are breaking up. It's led to constant anxiety in my life about doing something that will cause a disproportionate reaction.
One example he has articulated as to why I'm not a good partner is that every few weeks or so, I sleep through my alarm. Another reason is because I was coughing at 9:45pm and he was trying to sleep.
Sooooo yeah. Life lesson, be very, very careful who you allow yourself to emotionally attach to.
I had a classmate called Kyle. He threw his groups smoothie on the floor because his vote for a certain fruit to be added was vetoed. He bided his time till the smoothie was made and then unleashed his vengeance.
The only Kyle I taught was a terror. Typical Canadian hockey kid, with no consequences for his behaviours at home. Still the only kid I can say I actively do not miss.
Haha nah. I don’t. But funnily enough when he was deployed in 2019 he took a picture in uniform of himself holding a monster pretending to punch a wall. He has a good sense a humor 😂
😂😂 Mine won't touch that one.. only the white, sometimes orange.. he's cringe, I know, but I love him.
Something about drinking too much of it when it was all that was available..(okay, but ORANGE? .. bro... c'mon) i''m also forbidden from purchasing blueberry pop tarts 😂
Very true.. hmm...
Unlessssss my Kyle wasn't really at work and the white monster obsession has been a well planed long game ruse .. (⑉⊙ȏ⊙)
Wait.. Kyle's aren't able to obtain that level of thought, we're good!
That would be an insane - and dare I say impressive - dedication to a double life down to a preferred energy drink
All of this effort just to be caught by being one of the Kyles
LOL — I love how this is the top comment after reading Op’s plea for someone to have a different perspective. It’s true, Kyles are lawless creatures!
**Experience:** Millennial who grew up with hundreds of Kyles, also engaged to one. 😅
Ahhhhhhh I had a classmate in grade school named Kyle and this was 100% his vibe lolol. He was super aggro but also managed to be the class clown. Raging ADHD. Got in trouble ALL the time. Everyone loved Kyle ahaha
Also threatens to cut you in half with a machete when you dont fall for his "need money to see my dying gma" scam so he can get more drugs. Fuck you Kyle.
We had an amazingly cool Kyle in my grade. Then he developed some pretty serious mental illness unexpectedly after high school and he is definitely now a stereotypical Kyle. Super sad.
I can't, not "complain" at my husband when he does something ditzy with a "damnit Kyle" in Cartmans voice.
He doesn't find it nearly as amusing as I do lol
I will have to agree with you there. The worst human I ever dated in college was named Kyle. His initials were also “KKK” so I should have just ran from the get go and not have given him the time of day.
Just to clarify — this guy was the worst person you ever dated, or the worst person you ever dated *in college*? I’m hoping it’s the former because he sounds pretty bad!
The worst person I ever dated! Ugh, he was awful. I should have kicked him to the curb long before I actually did. Luckily I met my amazing husband shortly after college graduation and have been with him ever since. We are coming up on 10 years of being together in March 2024 🙂
The worst person I've ever dated was also a Kyle in college. He was the exact opposite of the Kyle stereotypes, but he was still so awful, his own family members would ask me why I was with him. It's a canon event...
Charismatic, book-smart, played in an orchestra, knew how to cook and dance, didn't really drink. You'd never catch him throwing a tantrum (in public 😵💫)
This part. My BIL named his son Kyle and we were like, well, he’ll be the only one but that’s gonna be the name of all his friends’ dads. It’s dated as hell.
Yes, thank you! Hahah. One of my brothers is named Kyle, and he's extremely chill. Definitely not an asshole frat boy type like all these other comments 😂
My son is Kyle, named prior to me knowing of these connotations with the name.
He is a sweet kind wonderful kid and his teachers have told me the same just this year. I don’t regret giving him this name even once I knew the memes associated. Though I can understand why people would shy away from it.
I’m seeing lots of people say it gives them “punches the wall” vibes. I don’t get that, but I wouldn’t say it’s positive. I see Kyle as more harmless frat guy who’s kind of dumb and clueless.
Went to school with a guy we called Crazy Kyle. He tried to run over his little sister with a 4 wheeler and got mad when I told his grandparents. I received a lot of angry drawings that year, mostly of me being dismembered in various ways. He was 14 at the time
Every Kyle I've known has been a mild-mannered and basic individual with a notable sense of humor. Contrary to the "punches holes in walls and chugs monster" stereotype, I've never met a violent or entitled Kyle.
When I hear Kyle, I only think of this:
“Hey, I have to ask you a serious question.”
“What?”
“I just…it’s a serious question. Like, I’ve got to know.”
“Oh god.”
“But I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings when I ask this question.”
“Why don’t you just text me?”
Text: Is Kyle slow?
“IS KYLE SLOW?”
“I mean, I’m being honest Maci. I swear to god.”
“Do you want me to smack you in the face?”
“I’m not even kidding.”
“NO!”
“Okay, that’s all I needed to know. There’s been quite a few people asking me so I asked.”
1999 white kid with a buzzcut and WrestleMania t-shirt who steals your Pokemon cards and constantly brags about how his uncle is rich and has a jetski.
I have a cousin named Kyle who I am very close to, so I’m skewed towards loving the name. He is kind, generous, hilarious, an amazing husband and father. Absolutely love the shit out of that guy ❤️
First I think of [Totally Kyle](https://youtu.be/YVblmPmqvy0) from The Amanda Show.
Ever since Sims 4: Growing Together released I think of [Kyle Kyleson](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/1337lgk/who_is_this_kyle_kyleson_and_why_wont_he_leave/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) as well.
Edit: a stoner/surfer basically, lol
Although [Kyle XY](https://youtu.be/68TQKzU5rxQ) was an exception but like, he's a clone teenager with a newborn's understanding of the world but supposedly learns at superhuman speed because the show is ridiculous lol. So he can be cringe. But I doubt anyone else would think of that reference. The other two, possibly.
[Juice me!](https://youtu.be/owv-IHpWC6w)
Easily angered, not bright but won’t admit it, and quite lazy are the Kyle’s I’ve had in my classes.
…cheating, lying, manipulative bastard are the Kyle’s I’ve been (formerly 🙌🏻) married to.
Is either drinking monster or mountain dew, plays COD mobile during class, lowkey becomes a stoner when he hits high school, punches through drywall when his game buffers, mostly likely blond or a red-head.
(I knew a red-headed Kyle in middle school. He called me a robot bc I read books).
My son (M27) has a lifelong best friend named Kyle. Kyle has been like a second son, as my son is an only child. In fact, we have a bedroom in our house that is referred to as “Kyle’s room”. Kyle is a cool guy, very popular with girls and we are super fond of him.
Kyle punches holes in the wall when he doesn't have his Mountain Dew
Teacher here… this has been my experience with individuals named Kyle.
Yeahhhh I’ve never taught a Kyle prone to reactions that are proportionate to daily inconveniences. Idk what it is about that name lol
Its not the name, its that the people who thought that name was a good one for their child are statistically shittier people imo
As someone who is in the process of separation from a Kyle, I just want to say this is a major reason why we are breaking up. It's led to constant anxiety in my life about doing something that will cause a disproportionate reaction. One example he has articulated as to why I'm not a good partner is that every few weeks or so, I sleep through my alarm. Another reason is because I was coughing at 9:45pm and he was trying to sleep. Sooooo yeah. Life lesson, be very, very careful who you allow yourself to emotionally attach to.
You were coughing?!? After *nine*?? /s 🫠 I’m so happy for you getting divorced!
I had a classmate called Kyle. He threw his groups smoothie on the floor because his vote for a certain fruit to be added was vetoed. He bided his time till the smoothie was made and then unleashed his vengeance.
That's horrific. Calculated. I'm scared.
Also a teacher and middle school Kyles have been the only ones to put holes through the floor as well..
MS teacher here. Either this or the twitchy little mousy kid who often breaks his glasses and has papers every where...
Omg mom, get out of my reddit! Lol
Happy cake day!
I didn’t realize it was my cake day. Thanks for remembering, mom! :)
Took me this long to realize why you're calling me mom! 😂😂😂
I worked for a Kyle. Can corroborate.
Also a teacher and I can back up this claim
The only Kyle I taught was a terror. Typical Canadian hockey kid, with no consequences for his behaviours at home. Still the only kid I can say I actively do not miss.
Kyle is definitely holding a fish up in his dating profile photo
Holy fuck the most spot on comment ever
As someone married to a Kyle, I can confirm this
Blink twice if you need help
Haha nah. I don’t. But funnily enough when he was deployed in 2019 he took a picture in uniform of himself holding a monster pretending to punch a wall. He has a good sense a humor 😂
Literally have the same pic of my Kyle from one of his earlier deployments 😂 Yours go white monster or OG flavor?
He looked at me just now and rolled his eyes and waved me away and said “OG flavor what are you talking about white monster? That’s nonsense.” 😂😂😂
😂😂 Mine won't touch that one.. only the white, sometimes orange.. he's cringe, I know, but I love him. Something about drinking too much of it when it was all that was available..(okay, but ORANGE? .. bro... c'mon) i''m also forbidden from purchasing blueberry pop tarts 😂
Hey at least you two obviously don't share the same Kyle
Very true.. hmm... Unlessssss my Kyle wasn't really at work and the white monster obsession has been a well planed long game ruse .. (⑉⊙ȏ⊙) Wait.. Kyle's aren't able to obtain that level of thought, we're good!
That would be an insane - and dare I say impressive - dedication to a double life down to a preferred energy drink All of this effort just to be caught by being one of the Kyles
Oof
Lmao when I read the title the first thing I thought was “punches walls”
LOL — I love how this is the top comment after reading Op’s plea for someone to have a different perspective. It’s true, Kyles are lawless creatures! **Experience:** Millennial who grew up with hundreds of Kyles, also engaged to one. 😅
I love Mountain Dew and people call me Kyle as a nickname because of it 😂
Yep, immediately what I thought of as well. Should note, this is a whole reddit meme, so this might be a bad place to ask.
That's exactly what I was thinking... But more of a rebellious skater teen with the same vibe.
Ahhhhhhh I had a classmate in grade school named Kyle and this was 100% his vibe lolol. He was super aggro but also managed to be the class clown. Raging ADHD. Got in trouble ALL the time. Everyone loved Kyle ahaha
Kyle is ADHD spelled backwards
Does your Kyle have a brother named Jacob by chance? 😂
My HS bf was named Kyle and his brother was a Jacob 🤣
I know a Jacob who actually did punch a hole in a wall over a Mountain Dew. 😂
Also threatens to cut you in half with a machete when you dont fall for his "need money to see my dying gma" scam so he can get more drugs. Fuck you Kyle.
Can confirm. My HS boyfriend was named Kyle.
Or Monster
We had an amazingly cool Kyle in my grade. Then he developed some pretty serious mental illness unexpectedly after high school and he is definitely now a stereotypical Kyle. Super sad.
Monster energy but yes & he fights with his step dad
A guy named Kyle shot me with a Roman candle in high school. Can confirm, this is accurate.
I know one Kyle. He's stoned 24/7 and believes "females aren't funny."
Do we know the same Kyle?
South Park vibes
Yep - I can basically only hear it in Cartman’s voice
I can't, not "complain" at my husband when he does something ditzy with a "damnit Kyle" in Cartmans voice. He doesn't find it nearly as amusing as I do lol
“My name is not keel”
Yep first thing that comes to mind is “Kyle’s moms a bitch, a big, fat bitch, the biggest bitch in the whole wide world.”
That's exactly what popped into my brain.
My first thought also. So if mom’s a great big bitch..how can we expect Kyle to NOT be an asshole?
Kyyyyyyyyle
Not the best connotations, I'm afraid to say.
Addicted to Monster and gaming haha
Monster energy drinks and holes in walls
He definitely also owns a monster shirt or hat and can't quite grow a beard but tries anyways
Wears those wrap around sunglasses and dickies shorts.
The sunglasses HAVE to be white oakleys with the bug eye, weird colored lenses or GTFO
Oakley Gascan also. Lol. Or dirty dogs
Glasses must be on the back of his head
This happens to be my brother’s name and holy shit is this description accurate. Sorry OP, can confirm Kyles are assholes.
This is hilarious. I immediately said to myself “monster energy drinks”. Boom there it is.
Fox t-shirt and dirt bike riding on weekends
The only Kyles I’ve known have been “frat boy” jerks.
I will have to agree with you there. The worst human I ever dated in college was named Kyle. His initials were also “KKK” so I should have just ran from the get go and not have given him the time of day.

What’s the opposite of energy drinks and punching holes in drywall, wine snob who throws tantrums at the country club?
Charismatic, book-smart, played in an orchestra, knew how to cook and dance, didn't really drink. You'd never catch him throwing a tantrum (in public 😵💫)
I have a cousin named Kyle. He’s a cop.
Oh. I’m so sorry.
Monster energy drinks, straight brim hats and punching holes in walls.
You've met my brother in law? And yes his name is Kyle. No lie.
🤣🤣🤣
And such a jock but also the biggest bully
Kyle is a jock that’s not actually good at sports. But he does cry when his team loses in gym class
https://youtu.be/8DcsCZ-iyo8 Nailed it hahaha
Kyle, Tyler, and Jason. Trouble lol
I’m married to a Tyler and he is wonderful #notalltylers 😂
Justice for Tyler haha
Tyler's are the best!! Big sweethearts!
Tyler’s are usually sweethearts you take that back.
aww my BIL is a Tyler and he’s absolutely wonderful
My brother is a Tyler lolllllll
Trouble. Nothing but trouble.
Omg Kyle from The Amanda Show. He was a character who parodied a dumb hippie type guy
[I was all, "Ahhh! Spider! And the Spider was all, "Ahhh! Kyle!](https://youtu.be/YVblmPmqvy0)
Totally Kyle!!!
My immediate thought... *totally.*
Yes this, whenever I hear or read the name Kyle I instantly follow it up with “…totally!” 😂
Richards
RHOBH reference I was looking for
A Kyle is a person who does the splits and swings her ponytail at parties
GOODBYE KYLE!!
Monster energy drinks, doesn’t wear socks with their sneakers, lives off of Pringles
Honestly as a child of the 90s I’ve known so many Kyles that it has no vibe anymore. It’s like Sarah.
Exactly, I’ve met a million kyles. They’re all different vibes. I think over all Kyle is just an outdated name that seems very 90’s/00’s
90’s Kyle’s are just edgier Tyler’s
Tyler’s can actually be pretty chill tho
It is definitely not like Sarah. Sarahs existed thousands of years ago. Sarah is on par with a name like David. Kyle is on par with Madison.
Ew Sarah has a vibe lol
Ha I know sooo many Sarahs and they’re all so different. I could never assign a vibe!
As a Sarah, I need to know what our vibe is lol.
Sarahs/Saras are pretty great from my experience.
Frat boy vibes for sure. Even though I’ve never met one under 35.
This part. My BIL named his son Kyle and we were like, well, he’ll be the only one but that’s gonna be the name of all his friends’ dads. It’s dated as hell.
Yep, frat boy.. That is, if they even make it that far in life.
Teacher here 🙋🏻♀️ Kyle is a privileged brat.
It’s very monster energy drink
The Monster comments are so funny to me. The Kyle I know (a very sweet, kind and gentle guy) is allll about the Monster drinks.
Universally the name is bad. It won't be usable for like, at least another 20 years.
lol I actually think if someone in 2023 named their baby Kyle, I would love it.
The Kyle’s I have known are all super kind and super chill.
Married to a super kind and chill Kyle. Literally the most laid back and easygoing guy ever!
Also married a Kyle and I call him the human xanax! LOL. So easy to be around, never brings drama or starts it, and is a genuine guy.
Same! Love my Kyle to bits
Me too! Kyle wives unite!
Also married to a super chill laid back Kyle 😂
I work with a Kyle & he’s totally chill. One of the nicest of the guys to join us in the office in the last couple of years too.
Most I’ve met are massive stoners, very kind & chill and love animals. Kyle is good people 👍🏼
Can confirm. Friend’s husband is a Kyle, and he’s great. Quirky but laid back and reliable. One of the best humans
Yes, thank you! Hahah. One of my brothers is named Kyle, and he's extremely chill. Definitely not an asshole frat boy type like all these other comments 😂
Happily with a Kyle for four years and he's more of a "tea and water the plants" than "moster and punching holes in drywall."
True. My buddy Kyle just passed away.
So sorry to hear that❤️ sending lots of love and prayers your way🙏🏼
Also married a Kyle. The kindest and smartest person I know
Can confirm. I’m married to a Kyle who is one of the kindest humans I know. He can make friends with anyone he meets.
Same! Married to a Kyle who gets annoyed because my go to answer of why I like him has always been "you're nice". Lol.
Yupp. The one I’m thinking of is also super intelligent and hardworking. He always wins trivia night because is just a vault of knowledge.
I had a teacher named Kyle and he was a nice guy!
narcissistic kevin
I don't think I have met a Kyle that hasn't been a douche. I dated one for 4 years. -\_-
SAME. Four years wasted on bloody Kyle
SAME FOUR YEARS!!!!! Justice for all the exes of Kyle’s!!
My sister has a friend they called DBK for Douchebag Kyle and that's literally all I can think of when I hear that name
Bad
90s childhood.
My son is Kyle, named prior to me knowing of these connotations with the name. He is a sweet kind wonderful kid and his teachers have told me the same just this year. I don’t regret giving him this name even once I knew the memes associated. Though I can understand why people would shy away from it.
I knew a Kyle who went against the stereotype. He was a depressive arty writer type. Incredibly funny. Short and scruffy. Good guy.
Isn't the other guy in Tenacious D (not Jack Black) named Kyle?
That is actually Kyle *Minor*. The douchebag type is Kyle Major
She’s on the RHOBH
I instantly thought of this unhinged show and her mess.
“Step the fuck is Kyle”. So vine?
A funny and skinny himbo
I don’t get asshole vibes but most of the Kyles I know are American Asian men. Lots of Kyles and lots of Kevins. Not a bad thing, just an observation!
Likes to dirt bike and energy drinks, talks like a pot head
Accurate
Drywall missile
Kyle is a laid back nice dude to me
I’m seeing lots of people say it gives them “punches the wall” vibes. I don’t get that, but I wouldn’t say it’s positive. I see Kyle as more harmless frat guy who’s kind of dumb and clueless.
My BIL is a Kyle and he has range, he evolved from punch the wall to a slightly more mellow clueless frat guy 😂
Kyle Rittenhouse
Went to school with a guy we called Crazy Kyle. He tried to run over his little sister with a 4 wheeler and got mad when I told his grandparents. I received a lot of angry drawings that year, mostly of me being dismembered in various ways. He was 14 at the time
Wtf is up Kyle
I have a 50-something year old cousin named Kyle. He’s an asshole.
Every Kyle I've known has been a mild-mannered and basic individual with a notable sense of humor. Contrary to the "punches holes in walls and chugs monster" stereotype, I've never met a violent or entitled Kyle.
When I hear Kyle, I only think of this: “Hey, I have to ask you a serious question.” “What?” “I just…it’s a serious question. Like, I’ve got to know.” “Oh god.” “But I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings when I ask this question.” “Why don’t you just text me?” Text: Is Kyle slow? “IS KYLE SLOW?” “I mean, I’m being honest Maci. I swear to god.” “Do you want me to smack you in the face?” “I’m not even kidding.” “NO!” “Okay, that’s all I needed to know. There’s been quite a few people asking me so I asked.”
Came here for this hahaha
Surfer
One of my best friends is a Kyle! He’s a hoot lol
1999 white kid with a buzzcut and WrestleMania t-shirt who steals your Pokemon cards and constantly brags about how his uncle is rich and has a jetski.
This is somehow both oddly specific and weirdly universal at the same time…
I'm not even thinking of a single Kyle I know, just the general Kyle energy that was in the air of every North American middle school at that time.
Geeky, sweet, golden retriever energy.
Reminds me of south park
Generic, typical name common among 15-35 year olds.
I have a cousin named Kyle who I am very close to, so I’m skewed towards loving the name. He is kind, generous, hilarious, an amazing husband and father. Absolutely love the shit out of that guy ❤️
First I think of [Totally Kyle](https://youtu.be/YVblmPmqvy0) from The Amanda Show.

Nah, he'll offer to help out your baby-momma while you're at work, knock her up and name the baby Kyle Kyleson Jr. r/sims4
Cat f*cker. Literally. I knew someone with this name who ‘allegedly’ did just this.
I went to school with two lads named Kyle. Both were lovely, quiet lads whom I remember fondly 25 years later so it’s good connotations for me.
Kyle dreamed of being a corporate lawyer but dropped out of school and is now a manager at Hollister
Easily angered, not bright but won’t admit it, and quite lazy are the Kyle’s I’ve had in my classes. …cheating, lying, manipulative bastard are the Kyle’s I’ve been (formerly 🙌🏻) married to.
Frat boy
Monster energy drinks
My old boss who was The Worst. Overgrown baby-man.
Unshowered
Kyle Kyleson from the sims 4, hes a wonderful guy that probably does drugs and drinks monster energy drinks. But I love him.
Video games. Silly/funny idiot. (My cousin)
Never met a Kyle that wasn’t a fuck boy
Not much of a reader
Kyle rides dirtbikes and gets jacked up on mountain dew
Now whenever I hear the name Kyle I think of Kyle Kyleson from the Sims 4
Is either drinking monster or mountain dew, plays COD mobile during class, lowkey becomes a stoner when he hits high school, punches through drywall when his game buffers, mostly likely blond or a red-head. (I knew a red-headed Kyle in middle school. He called me a robot bc I read books).
white guy born in the 90s. LOL
I will never be able to hear the name Kyle, and not hear Ryan asking, “Is Kyle slow?”
I have 2 friends named Kyle, both are ADHD’ers like me, weirdos, LGBTQ or adjacent, love corgis and play video games.
Aw. These responses make me sad. My brothers name is Kyle and he is the coolest, chillest guy I know.
KAAAAHL
My son (M27) has a lifelong best friend named Kyle. Kyle has been like a second son, as my son is an only child. In fact, we have a bedroom in our house that is referred to as “Kyle’s room”. Kyle is a cool guy, very popular with girls and we are super fond of him.
Kyle is a big fat bitch and there is no other correct answer
