Agree or Disagree? There is no such thing as an Alpha Male?

Question

JamesDiaz11 · Accepted Answer

It's just a colloquialism that doesn't apply in the same way as an Alpha in a pack of wolves, for example. Alpha-males in mammals typically have the sole privilege of mating, which simply doesn't apply to humans. Strong, successful, & confident men are typically called alphas, but it doesn't make sense by its original definition.

Leopard23 · Accepted Answer

Disagree.

An Alpha male is the top 10% of men who are both superior to others in both physical and mental ability. Women desire, respect and fear them in equal measure. Other men respect and perceive them as dangerous.

AviatorTom · Answer

Well, there's an Omega Man, so I guess it makes sense to go to the other end of the Greek alphabet and have an Alpha Male.

Bethany22 · Answer

I agree there is such a thing as alpha males. They're redpill guys who have been down the rabbit hole and are cynical towards women's motives. They like to concentrate on their careers and have women only play a secondary role in their lives.

ManOnFire · Answer

Sort of agree. Most men who think they are alphas, are not really alphas. They just want to believe they are. But truthfully? What kind of man really wants to identify with aggression, being the loudest in the room, or being so incredibly "male" that you offend other people? I sure don't.

CheeseMonster · Answer

In one of my psychology classes the men put "alpha" as a trait they thought women liked in men. All the women collectively cringed and after brief discussion, "leader" was put instead.

If there is such thing as an alpha, it is better to call it by some synonym. Alpha is useless as a label now because it has so many meanings and none of them are taken seriously. There is such thing as a good and respected leader, as someone you can rely on, as a loud and insecure jerk, as an abusive narcissist, as a father in a captive wolf family, as the strongest male in a fictional werewolf pack, etc... But I would say only one of those can still be accurately called "Alpha," and I'm not a believer.

BigWhiteWolf87 · Answer

There's leaders. They motivate and earn not demand respect through their actions. If you ever wanted to call a man an "alpha" you would only ever call a natural born leader, an alpha. These sorts of men in today's society are becoming more and more rare.

In comparison

97% of self-identified "alpha men" are just over egotistical douchebags (who typically attract women with few to no standards) suffering from small man symdrome. Like Napoleon they think themselves special while everyone decent laughs about them.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I really don't believe in all this alpha male crap. A dude is a dude is a dude. Everyone has their flaws, even someone who believes they are perfect, it is all in their head, and inflated to-boot.

Alpha males in biology are pack animals, like wolves. Last time I looked, I am an individual and not a pack animal. The alpha in a wolf pack sleeps around with all the females in the pack to produce, better quality young. Last time I checked, if a guy sleeps around with multiple females, women call him a dog, and it isn't meant to be a compliment.

So if I am looking at it from a purely definitional point of view, being an "Alpha Male" isn't all it is cracked up to be, and those women who seek these guys out are likely going to be one of many suiters and possibly baby-mommas.

DizzyDesii · Answer

To me, there's insecure, confident, and overconfident. The so called alphas are overconfident. So to me, there is no alpha. Its just an overconfident cocky arrogant mf. They usually deem the reasonably confident ones as omega and they deem the insecure or try-hard ones as beta. Its mad annoying

WonderBell99 · Answer

Agreed. Any man who refers to himself as an alpha shall be renamed “cringe dude who probably lives in his mom’s basement”. It’s totally unattractive. I’m not interested in wolves, I’m interested in cute human males who check most of my boxes.

Jessica405 · Answer

Of course there are Alpha males! They have a natural ability to attract people, guys as well as girls, in a friendship or more. They do not need to prove themselves as being the best in some way.

The so called Alpha male is actually Beta or less.

es20490446e · Answer

There are men that are highly capable. They will easily surpass anyone else.

Men that in the face of fear an uncertainty, they persevere no matter what.

Men that any problem they face, they eventually figure it out.

Men that trust that by doing what has to be done, you get what you have to get.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Agreed. Mech himself has admitted as much; I don't know how much more confirmation you could need.

RavVid · Answer

There is such a prototypical man and the other prototypical types exist also. A lot of Alpha's tend to be bombastic and aggressive but can sometimes just be good leaders.

I would characterize myself as falling into the Sigma type predominantly not really caring much about hierarchy. When it has been necessary I have taken down a few Alphas. I mostly care about results rather than status.

melanieeeB · Answer

Totally agree. The whle "alpha male" stuff is just total bullshit and for some unexplainable reason... just look at the poll... we femals keep saying how stupid it is and laugh about the whole alpha stuff and some few males keep insisting that this is how to get girls and all femals are lying lol

Blackcupcake · Answer

agreed……. the word alpha alone makes me cringe so hard when some people use that to describe men… especially when men call themselves that💀

Heterosketero · Answer

Doesn't matter, society has adopted the ideology which was originally spread in the second world war as an attitude of soldiery. Now, women want it whether it exists or not and some form of this idea has always existed. Let me help you out here, an alpha male is nothing compared to a man. Look at all the lonely sexy alpha women who don't have families. Takes more than looks or BMI to be the boss. Be a sigma.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

To me alpha is just another way to say the person is very attractive. But honestly such labels aren't needed.

exitseven · Answer

I agree, most of the guys that think they are an alpha male end up wetting themselves when thigs get tough.

Nikki1989 · Answer

The thought that anyone thinks alpha males are even a thing is downright embarrassing.

Still-alive · Answer

Secure people are the so called 'alphas' in life. not the ones who claim they are to everyone and act like complete assholes to people.

Guardian45 · Answer

If there ARE still alpha males out there, they're LITERALLY a dying breed by strokes or heartattacks.

normalice · Answer

There is in animals and in people who wish to live like animals. But the term has no meaning in civilized society.

Sunssong · Answer

It's so stupid. People just love trying to make other humans lesser. People can't accept the idea we are all innately equal.

RobT312 · Answer

It’s a personality, not necessarily a great one. There are overly aggressive guys out there. I think they exist

godfatherfan · Answer

Nope. There are arrogant pieces of trash, and then there are normal men that treat everyone with respect.

sheenagwapa · Answer

Anonymous · Answer

This is the second time you post this. I don't get the obsession with alpha males. Did you run out of ideas and started recycling old questions?

SlothySlob · Answer

Define what alpha male is. If you define alpha as a natural born leader, then they do.

mobiusforniner · Answer

There is such a thing. And those who know they are dont need to show it.

AlainD · Answer

Yes and no, there's no black and whites , no one is completely Alpha or beta, however some people lean more toward a type of personality, either A or B but like I said no one is 100% one thing or the other.

Babygirl_S · Answer

They exist. They are too aggressive and I prefer the calm and masculine males.

worldscolide · Answer

I think there are normal men.. And then there are low T men, who fit the Incel crowd.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Disagree. In prisons there's always men in there that are the top dogs and everyone in there knows it.

OddBeMe · Answer

They’re alpha personalities I’d say. Both genders have it. But the incel scale of chads and Stacy’s isn’t a thing.

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

Look up the study that sparked it. The same guy debunked it.

Anonymous · Answer

Disagree. If there isn't an alpha then there can't be an omega, which is what I am.
