Had a discussion with several Taiwanese friends that suggests a 宅男 would rather stay at home on his holiday rather than go out into the real world; an unadventurous person; etc. ie homebody

Editor: I used a chunk of K's definition. Well, they copied a chunk of ours!
We got the best of that exchange, though.
K copied "derived from Japanese otaku 御宅男 house male" from us.
Unfortunately, 御宅男 isn't a Japanese word at all, let alone "otaku", and "otaku" doesn't mean "house male".
Diff:
- 宅男 宅男 [zhai2 nan2] /male addicted to computers, computer games, adult cartoons etc (2000s Taiwan slang, derived from Japanese otaku 御宅男 house male)/fan of computer games/by extension, nerd/
# + 宅男 宅男 [zhai2 nan2] /male addicted to computers, computer games, adult cartoons etc (2000s Taiwan slang, derived from Japanese otaku 御宅男 house male)/fan of computer games/by extension, nerd/homebody/
+ 宅男 宅男 [zhai2 nan2] /a guy who stays at home all the time, typically spending a lot of time playing online games (derived from Japanese "otaku")/
