Do you believe in the alpha/beta bullshit that PUA douches always talk about?

[Anonymous]

Last night I was checking out a new bar with some of my buddies and there happened to be this huge drunk douche that was talking really loud and annoying everyone. He was pretty tall and muscular and was talking about alpha and beta males and bragging that he was the most alpha male in the bar loud enough for the whole bar to hear.

This went in for about 15 minutes and what happened next might be the most amazing thing I've ever witnessed. This quiet guy who was drinking alone and looked pissed walked up to him and said

"Excuse me, did I hear you say that you are an alpha male?"

Drunk idiot: "Damn straight, got a problem with that punk?"

Then the quiet guy knocked him the fuck out with 1 hit and went back to his seat. The big dude literally fell off his stool and on the ground. Everyone in the bar except for the douchebags friends started clapping. Amazingly they left without trying to kick the guys ass probably because they knew everyone in the bar would help him or he would probably kick their ass on his own. We bought the guy a drink and it turns out he's a MMA fighter. Badass.

This goes to prove my belief that Real alpha males don't ever have to mention that word or brag. And I think a lot of bigger guys actually are not as good at fighting because most guys won't fight them because they look intimidating. But in this case it's really not about size at all.

Either way I'm definitely going to look into doing some MMA training.

I think that the male brain is wired to be preoccupied with power structures more than the female brain. But, the modern belief in alpha/beta is exaggerated and too cut and dry.

A real leader of men is cohesive, not confrontational. Getting a group of guys to work together for a goal can create amazing things. An arrogant, inwardly insecure douche prick can't do that.

Also, I think PUA exploits sad guy's craving for control to make a few bucks off them. The guys don't even really want women the most, they want power in their own lives. Just like "the rules" for chicks - a bunch of dumb stuff to fool you that you can control and manipulate love and emotion.

He was drunk. If you are a good fighter it's not hard to beat up somebody that is drunk and I don't think muscular makes somebody an alpha male. I prefer skinny guys and most girls that I know also like skinny guys. I like humble guys - confidence is different from arrogance or pride - I want a guy that is confident but humble.

This MMA dude sounds kind of lame. Why resort to violence at all? Total turn off.

Well there are definitely alpha guys, beta guys and a whole lot in between.

I work with sales people. Those guys... They are a breed of their own. They are cocky, confident, loud, persuasive, charming, agressive... All drive too fast, all drink too much, all of them have beautiful wives. Men, real men. But yeah, quite a high douche factor in most of them.

Violence was not the answer. Also there is no such thing as an alpha male in dating. There are distinctions being studied in managerial sections but even then it's weak evidence and has more to do with training and natural verbosity than it does with any form of biological or genetic presentations.

Haha, omg. That is a true alpha, the quite one. Those "alphas" that talk loud and wants everyone to know it are probably not alphas. Ps. I actually think the MMA dude is a turn on haha. Well played.

There's a fair bit of truth in it. What was inaccurate was the drunk guy's belief that he was alpha.

Most alpha male in the bar = smallest penis in the bar

Hey I have a story right. One time there was this dragon that was terrorizing the village,

[LittleSally]

Not really...but there are some people who are more outgoing or brave than others...this I believe in.
(doesn't mean they're better than the rest)

Knocking that guy is a dominance move too. There's no difference. And it's not that hard to knock a human out regardless of weight.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

I certainly do, it gets played out for truth all too often.

Alpha/Beta all bullshit. But damn it was so funny how the drunk got punched right in tha face LMAO

Everyone looks for a way they can elevate themselves above other people. Some people choose this path, doesn't mean they're right.

"Good, bad, I'm the one with the gun."

If you have to announce it to the world then you are not what you say you are. I find that true about everything.

[Drast]

I believe the idea, however I don't think it's as black and white as most people say.

that guy wasn't an alpha male he was just a douche bag.
