What are the common misconceptions about Alpha and Beta Males?

I'm okay with distinguishing a doormat type of man who needs help to develop some degree of assertiveness, dominance, confidence. Cool.

But the problem to me with this "alpha male" idea is that we are trying to turn him into a dickhead and arguably a simp driving flashy cars and wearing the flashiest suits to get laid. That's just a more badass form of an asskisser in my book. At least it's more badass.

Yet true respected leaders throughout history are usually a bit older, a bit wiser, substantially less superficial. It's the men who take the most responsibility who get voluntarily elected as the most responsible leaders. History has proven this time and time again.

So I think these self-proclaimed alpha males don't get that. They have a youthful energy. They do promote getting their shit together. Cool. But they aren't promoting responsibility over their families because they just mostly want to sleep around. And that's not cool to me, because it's not good for society. It is missing the idea that a man is a protector in the fullest sense.

We're supposed to stick around and take care of the family we created. Andrew Tate has slept with hundreds of women according to him and has fathered at least dozens of children. Yet he hasn't married a single woman. But he's talking about alpha males. And his idea of alpha to me is not true because it lacks the first and foremost responsibility a man is supposed to take, and that is to protect his woman and children.

Ya know, I really don't understand why so many sheep on this site are against the concept of alpha males even being a concept. I don't care what kind of articles have been written about the "myth" being busted. It's clear as day to me that people are wired a certain way when they're born. Some people stand out much more than others, physically, mentally, and socially. Some people are naturally courageous and natural born leaders and some are timid, shy, and fearful. Some are naturally dominant and some are naturally submissive. We experience it every day we socialize with others. We know who has that "aura" and seems incredibly charismatic and easy to relate with and follow. It doesn't take a genius to realize that some people stand out among others very easily. They're the guys that have never had an issue getting girls. They've never had issues in positions of power and leadership. They are usually successful because they fear nothing in life.

Alpha males do exist. I don't think there are any misconceptions about them other than the people that deny their existence and even talk shit about the people that believe they exist.

The only misconception is the belief they exist at all.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

The basic misconception: a man claiming to be "alpha" identifies as chimp or as wolf or such. Which perhaps comes close to his own mind, but is not applicable on humans overall.
