Introversion is a word to describe a socially reserved individual.. just as extroversion is used to describe someone as an outgoing, overt individual.
Alpha/Beta is just a word that is coined to express certain personality traits and social behavior.
While not in an absolute form.. men and women certainly do fall somewhere on either side of the spectrum. This is an analogy if you haven't caught on yet. There is no reason to bring wolves into the discussion whenever this word is used on GAG everyone.
In terms of the social scene, the Alpha or dominating personality exists. Scientists have found men who are taller, with deeper voices, and better looking tend to dominate his social circles. While it's PC and feel good to dismiss the Alpha/Beta/ Omega theory as childish, it would be naive to dismiss it in the "real" world. The fact is there are certain social norms when followed will increase a person's chance of being more desirable. Most women are attracted by the dominance and presence of certain men.
alpha/beta system does not exist, it is created by narcissists to justify their mistreatment of other people. leadership is not something you are born with, and if anyone believes that then they have NPD. Leadership is something you earn. Many people start out shy and then become charismatic leaders. women are attracted to confidence not dominance, they want a man that is comfortable in their skin and has a sense of humor, not a man that is gonna hit them over the head and drag them home. Confidence is key and you can work on it. i was once an introvert but im now an extrovert so i can tell you, you are not born to be confident and a leader, you work to be those things
I agree 100000% with this take. Destroying the alpha/beta nonsense one step at a time.
A self declared "alpha" must have felt butt hurt and gave you a dislike. :-(
@Lonewolf_1296
True.
THANK YOU FOR THIS MYTAKE! I also want to add that the "Betas", from my experience, tend to be just as douchy, misogynistic, and narcissistic as as the "Alpha" but they're more passive aggressive about it. Then they try to turn to the MGTOW to try to be "Alpha" but they end up obsessing over women more than any non-MGTOW guy ever does (which I suspect is jealousy). Labels should be used as a joke, not as an identity.
I've been saying this for the longest time man. The mere fact that someone boasts about being "alpha" proves that they aren't "alpha" at all, they are insecure twats.
Cool! Just this morning I was reading about wolf packs and their hierarchy WITHIN the family (yeah, I'm a dog and consequently a wolf person, hint to the hint hint).
Expect hate mail from self declared "alphas" :P
Lol I was blocked by two guys so far, one being "beta orbiter" guy. Funny how these men clame to be so big and tough but block those that disagree with them
yeah, sorry for the late warning, right after I wrote my comment I scrolled down and realized it had already happened. :P
Alpha crew checkin in.

Okay beta males.. Come at me. I'm ready.
Lol.. If this is not the best answer, than i don't know what is...
Cot dam, was unaware how many people are really aware here lol
Lol, aweir. I thought that Roostah was the only other one.
you could have made this shorter :D "if you claim you´re alpha, you talk bullshit and are a douchebag"
Haha
A lot of these puffed up "Alpha" males (i. e insecure jerks) have bravado, arrogance and nothing else, they leave a bad taste in my mouth. In fact, they piss me off.
"... And nothing else"
EXACTLY. They must fall into this pit because their relation with women is the only thing they have of value or they value in themselves.
Almost any guy I know who is accomplished thinks the idea is petty or hasn't heard of it. The alpha/beta guys are the ones driving a "souped-up" '87 civic to wal-mart.
And get your pussy wet, at times, I'm sure.
@Rawrzz You're a case example. Ego is a major turn off.
Can't help but notice you didn't deny it. And I'm sure you lack all ego to the point of having obtained nirvana.
@Rawrzz You're either a troll and don't understand the meaning of words.
@ras144 Everyone is a troll. Didn't you know? That's the new definition of troll.
A silverback gorilla is an alpha male. Because he's the leader. Other gorillas do what he says, because he's a badass and he'll fuck shit up, protects them, breaks up fights, dishes out punishment, and makes decisions for his pack.
People relate "alpha male" humans to equaling "insecure jerks", because they have no understanding. All they are is whining about human hierarchy, and their low place in it. This alpha/beta trend that's been going on is based on that hierarchy, but also ignorant of it. Women desire alpha males. President Obama is an alpha male. Vice President Biden is a beta male, he defers to the alpha. If President Obama stepped down or something, Biden would be the new alpha. In a smaller setting, there are personalities of alpha, beta, omega.
So who doesn't understand the meaning of words, here?
@Rawrzz
no the silver back is the leader because he is the father of the children not because he is an alpha, just like the article stated with wolves. by the way you are an insecure narcissist if you so believe in this. crap
I agree with you, the only people who believe this whole alpha/beta thing are pathetic narcissists
@Rawrzz
your statement proves that you suffer with Narcissistic Personalty Disorder, you need help
@Eric644 how does pointing out that you're stupid prove that he's suffering from NPD? I'd love to see you support this diagnosis.
Thank you!!! I swear you must be the most sensible "normal" guy on gag. Let's just hope some of these others actually listen to you haha.
I already wrote a myTake featuring a video by Christopher Ryan where he talks about the alpha male concept being bullshit. A psychologist/primatologist saying this.
So we're out there. I'm disappointed the concept spread so rapidly.
@OpenClose
don't worry, reasonable men don;t believe in such crap, it is just narcissistic losers who do
I'm Beta, "I get no ladies" there is a truth behind it, there are guys where women simply won't get attracted to them... before I always complain why I can't get a girl, but I'm tired complaining... whether I complain or not it won't matter... I realized that there are a lot of things to do than just chasing girls, doing more time on career, hobby, etc. Feel time spent wisely than going to girls (not always a bad thing) which you are not sure you are reciprocated, it's just me... so what I said never applies to all
bruh check out rsd videos especially tyler just check out one vid on youtube and you will be amazed
Tyler who?
no, you are shy and lack confidence, you can become more confident and get ladies. you just have to look at yourself and be willing to improve. there is no alpha/beta thing, you can become your own man and develop confidence and charisma
@Eric644 I begin not to care about girls anymore... but I'm willing to improve just for myself not for girls. Even if there are beautiful women wants to talk to me (as if it will really happen) I'll just give them cold treatment
it all starts with working on yourself, that's the key to moving in the right direction, but don't write of females, the whole MGTOW thing isn't a good direction. Your time will come
What's MGTOW? Nah all women are the same all they want in a guy is money, popularity, handsome face, sexy body, confident, charisma, etc. Too much work really...
confidence and charisma is something you can work on, those things aren't set in stone
Huh. This whole alpha/beta talk is like motorcycle guys measuring dicks with engine cc size...
Now here is very funny fact. Guy's with bigger engines (more CC) are usually the small dicked people thinking there something special, just to get there ass smoked by a better rider on smaller bike.
Moral of the story? Alpha/Beta is a stupid ass sytem.
You, sir, have just made my life.
Thank you so much.
You understand.
Anyone who dares contradict this is so far beyond idiotic that I don't even know how they have enough brain power to function.
Was that too harsh? Probably, but oh my dear goodness.
So proud. Good job. 10/10.
You're my favorite.
YAAAAASSSSSSS, preach 🙌🏻
Lol I already got blocked by two guys who called me a "beta". Guess it goes to show when you insult insecure men they don't like it haha
Trying to assert dominance.
lol 2 people blocked you because of this?
@Jager66 Cheah bro, because you know if you can't take someone's opinions that differ from your's you need to block them.
I knew it!!! Bahaha, read my comment on your take.
OP, I don't think you get it. Alphas and Betas exist. You're actually a beta, this is you coping with it - by claiming the idea of it doesn't exist. You're the insecure one, this is a cover for your insecurity. You can look in the mirror everyday, act the way you do, and pretend that "betas" don't exist, but you're the epitome of beta. I mean, look at you craving this female appraisal.
Every species like us has a hierarchy, yet you're claiming we don't? You didn't accurately describe either betas or alphas. Keep coping.
@YeahYouMirin
oh look a narcissist
I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if a thousand butthurt, insecure "alphas" and "betas" cried out in rage... And were silenced.
Great take!
Good take. I enjoyed it.
Sidenote: I love pinterest! 😋
Thank you for the post. Now i Know That my brother's beliefs could be wrong. No, what is wrong is to label both the others and oneself.
One is one and it has to be respected. Also, this has been said That assertiveness is the key in life.
Apparently, my network has decided to comment on this old post, this post is preaching a converted since 3 decades or more so... lol
I'm gonna repost this pic because it's a solid one at representing the issue:
self proclaimed alpha males are just men with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They use the alpha label to make themselves feel better about the way they mistreat people. The need for dominance, feelings of superiority, and inability to empathize with others are key symptoms of NPD and are key features of the self proclaimed alpha loser, pretty much alpha and NPD are the same thing
Pretty much how I feel about the whole alpha/beta thing. I am pretty sure I told someone else on here people who label themselves as such are insecure. I am usually not attracted to a man that has to label himself as such. Good Take, I laughed.
