Do you believe in this alpha, sigma male/female categories?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

They are personality types. Everyone can be classified into specific personality categories. It's the same as MBTI and that kind of stuff. I don't understand why people get so offended by this stuff nowadays, dismissing it as nonsense because they're offended by it or think it's offensive to others trying to be white knights.

The fact of the matter is we all know who was naturally popular and had leadership skills and charisma when we grew up. They weren't taught that kind of stuff. It was just natural for them. We also know the ones that were lone wolves and only relied on themselves and the super shy ones who you could not get out of their shells.

People can change to an extent, but a lot of who we are stems from our inherent traits.

Yes, of course. The problem is that people don't like being put into categories, especially if they feel negatively about that category. And these categories are somewhat more subjective than something like age, sex, or race, which can be tested or measured.

It's important to understand that *some*amount of mobility is possible - it doesn't happen often, but a person CAN change their thinking and their standards and their behavior and potentially change categories. Most people don't, though, so their category stays with them.

It's somewhat similar to being upper, middle, or lower class. Many people don't like being categorized that way either, but those distinctions still exist.

They can be quick ways to give a general idea of how somebody is. I don’t think there’s necessarily deep meaning or that someone with one trait necessarily has all of the other traits that are supposed to go with the one trait they do have. JMO!

No. I think they are silly terms to make people feel more important than they really are. We aren't wolves and even that was debunked as being a thing. Those terms just need to go die in a fire.

I believe there are men that are managers. Supervisor. And bosses. Who now have a title. And they point fingers and tell people what to do. They are more or less followers

Then you have leaders who do what he is telling people to do because he is just like everyone else and thinks before he speaks and he wouldn't want to be Associated with somebody who calls themselves Alpha

Because most of them are the big title bosses Supervisors and managers

He listens pays attention and is Mentally physically looking 5 hundred yards ahead at all times to be prepared for andyhing.
Before ( anything can happen) alpha love the title and loves to let everyone know who they are

A leader is quite would rather not be seen or heard..

I don't believe in anyone those titles you asked about
But I do believe in. Real Leaders

SteveSmith1985 · Answer

No. As soon as I hear anybody say any of these terms unironically, I think less of them. This is stupid bullshit.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, I don't like labels. They are too subjective.

OneViewpoint · Answer

No, I’ve seen those red pill videos on YouTube. Incels, alpha, beta, delta, sigma, whatever.

Seems more like a made up philosophy than anything with real science behind it. It’s sorta funny

The guys doing the videos seem to believe it like a religion / cult though.

Anonymous · Answer

No. They’re artificial distinctions. And I am Gen Z. Some of my friends swear by it though, so it has its fans.

Nikki1989 · Answer

No, it is just idiots these days need to put a tag on everything and everyone. In reality, none of this nonsense exists in the human world.

spartan55 · Answer

I believe in true leadership. The best leaders I've been around would never call themselves an alpha (or whatever)
Conversely, nearly every single dude I've known who throws those labels around has been a moron.

Agree with your update too.

We have a developed prefrontal cortex that puts us above the animalistic tendencies and hooga booga brain

Sure genetic evolution impacts us in indirect ways but not to the point where we can categorize ourselves as alphas and betas

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know why people get so bent up about this stuff. They are just terms used to describe certain personality types. There is no question those types exist. The only question is whether or not someone is butt hurt about the words someone uses to describe them.

silyt_ghoest · Answer

my hot take of the next ten minutes is that anyone who calls themselves alpha or sigma should be subjected to reading dan and phil A/B/O fanfiction. or DNF.

Blunky · Answer

Labels... stop it with the labels. Look at people's actions instead of their words. Labels just gives the worst of humanity excuses to hide behind for their garbage behavior.

emeraldsaphire · Answer

I cringe so hard at the word "sigma" so no

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes, but I've elevated myself beyond alpha... I'm a gamma man!  My next level is "electron".

Staximus · Answer

There are leaders, followers, and lone wolves. Any of those can be brave or a coward, can fight or run, go from followers to leaders. That's about it.

RavVid · Answer

There are broadly categories but there are more than Alpha/Sigma.

Pohjolan · Answer

Using a wolfpacks hierarchy for humans is not only a oversimplification but people are not even using it correctly.  Betas are middle tier leaders.

An alpha male male is the male that gets to mate and leads the group.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I do not pay attention to that stuff. I just avoid attacking people and their property and do what I want.
