I will admit I am a beta male. I hate confrontation. I don't know how to approach people and I am far from being a dominant natural born leader. it honestly doesn't bother me I will admit. since i am a devout liberal I get called it a lot online for sharing my political views. Although there are a lot of beta male republicans like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush. Also i have Aspergers Syndrome so i think that naturally makes me a beta male since all of those aforementioned personality traits i posses are due to my aseprgers
You dudes really shouldn’t place yourselves in these ridiculous categories...
girls do that all the time to men...
And? That just means y’all need shut that shit down... not REINFORCE it.
It’s literally doing you no favors
Ellie I know you love Alpha males xD
@iamnotkj there’s no such thing as an alpha male in my opinion
I think the worst part of this is the people ready to buy into it and ready to confirm their bias by putting themselves in a little box after saying, "omg that's so me". It's like the Harry Potter sorting hat only it's self reported. Omg I'm such a slytherin no I'm a ravenclaw.
Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Omega, Sigma?
I legit know (and used) the mathematical notations for all these. lol
As for "types" of men? This is dumb. When I see and read men. They all mostly come down to just "Alpha" and "Beta". In the past, I dated both these "types". I even dated a "Beta" that tried to act like an "Alpha". I don't date any of these now (obviously). These social dogmas are very inchoate (with regards to the intended purpose).
Gammas are fake and hide their true intentions and identity for immediate goals and lack a moral compass. Whereas the Alpha usually has a moral compass that strives towards long-term goals and the short-term gains that Gammas seek as goals are merely steppingstones for the Alpha. The Beta, well who cares about that loser. The Sigma is outside of the social hierarchy for one simple reason they truly believe all people are equal. That is all it takes to be an outsider. The person who speaks the truth is most hated, Plato
Hey All, Figured i'd throw this out there. Is there a way to shift from one archetype to another? Most Shrinks i've spoken to say i'm "too focused" on these labels and that i should just "Accept who i am". My traits have me clearly identified as an "Omega" but i want to be a Gamma. the reason is that i simply want to learn to be Content and i struggle with this, Gammas i've met seem happy in there mediocre lives, i know it probably seems strange but i want that. Looking for an alternative even extreme views, Anything that might help
I'm a Sigma. After reading this and some other archetypes from other writers it actually helped make sense of who i am. It's not like a go-to answer but it's definitely a part of my being. Most people are still sheep and won't try to learn how powerful we as humans really are, even I'm still learning because i started late teaching myself. There is a lot of misinformation in all the books from medical to physics that most will never try to believe. Great topic, i hope we use it to better the world around us and stop continuing to be desensitized to infidelity and the power of money.
I feel like this is well said but in my own opinion I feel like there are a lot more you can add to the list.
In other words, the characteristics of certain people could never b just 6.
Everyone is unique in there own way, someone could be all 6 of those things in certain moods. but the end of the story, yes, unity in not only men but humanity. Which will never happen but hey, good speech.
I've been catching up on Deadwood lately, and here are some characters that fit these personalities: In the front is Swearingen (mean Alpha), Farnum (Delta who kisses up to Swearingen), and Tolliver (classier Alpha, but still mean). The two guys in the back are Merrick (another Delta) and Doc (an Omega).
This list in one sentence or less:
Alpha: A real man's man, the kind of dude to mack all the honeys
Beta: A man without "manhood"
Omega: An Alpha who doesn't require validation or a social circle
Delta: A leech that uses association to increase influence
Sigma: An Alpha sans swagger but with ingenuity
Gamma: What you get when no f*cks are given and you excel at nothing
The most common and most desires man, the leader of the pack, the most beautiful, high intelligent, high confident, and athletic. They are typically working high paying jobs or are heads of companies due to their dominant personalities. Are usually seen as the head of social gatherings and love being the center of attention (or attract attention so highly that they become the center). Alphas are also the ones who get the most female attention due to their genes and traits being the most desired in men. Alphas are well liked by almost everyone, and have an easy charm and swagger about their presence. Women are drawn to their charisma and presence and enjoy being social and having lots of people around. They are a natural leader
Interesting MyTake but I see no reason to believe that any of these roles exist within human societies. Terms like Alpha, Beta, and Omega are what we typically use for describing roles within an animal pack's hierarchy.
I mean you would find that most people display traits across a number of these categorizations and that ultimately labelling them as one or the other would be dependent largely on any given situation.
My point in life doesn't allow me much of a social life but I thrive off of it. Not too sure if I'm an alpha or an omega I guess. I'm quiet in most aspects and only speak up when the sinking shit can't take anymore bullshit. I don't think many people care to use these terms though yet alone try to attach the label to themselves. I'm just me.
So... I'm pretty much Gamma-dominant, with a flavor of Omega and only Beta when it comes to treating women like royalty. Except, even then, only when I feel they haven't earned a spot on the shit list.
Seldom an effective leader and seldom a follower, always guarded and suspicious of others and their true intentions, anticipating the worst and seeking how to avoid it or defeat it.
Men can be alpha, beta, omega, etc in different social contexts.
Mark zuckerbeg is a alpha in his tech vertical. He was exceptionally clever and entrepreneurial. But if he got sentenced to a federal prison he would be the bottom bitch beta for sure.
I was never the loud and super outgoing guy at social events or at bars. But I was heavily involved with MMA. In most gyms I was an alpha by action (dominating opponents) but in the bar I am the quiet guy.
We need to get away from labels. Seriously.
Oh look, another expert psychologist barely out of high school😂. People will, sadly, read this article and take it as gospel. It's not this simple, by far. People change according to the situations they're placed in. You're an "Alpha" only when you're placed in a situation where you have the knowledge and confidence to lead. Every man and woman has this potential.
Please stop telling people that their personality fits into one of six archetypes. It's an outdated practice that deters growth.
😂😂
what are the female equivalents? I've heard alpha female before. i feel like thats my best friend. I'm the opposite, very submissive, follower not a leader, nurturer, could probably stand up for myself more, etc. Is this a female beta? I definitely put my man on a pedestal as my king and like men a lot in general.
female beta or something else?
apparently (this is gained from a few films and a few adverts) men want to be 'the terminator', women want vic beckham as their best friend
Sounds great and everything, but it's all made up.
The whole wolf pack thing has been debunked years ago, even the scientists who first coined the terms for humans abandoned it again eventually.
I agree but they still use them as far as college sororities go.. I'm not sure why if scientist have debunked it
@VibrantVirgo Same reason why people generally don't care about whether something is scientifically accurate or not - if it fits their already existing biases and opinions, they will stick to it, no matter what, and will even go so far to deny the actual science. You can observe this in all sorts of topics - from vaccines to climate change, and so on.
Very true, same with religion.
Personally I think this is all rubbish - ALPHA the most desired, I would rather stick a hot poker in my eye than be described as ALPHA - Anyone who tells you they are alpha are usually insufferable bores and assholes with the personality of a wet paper bag
If I had to classify myself, I'd say I'm primarily an omega with some traits from gamma. I definitely hate relying on others in any aspect of life, I'm very selective with my friends and social circle, but I'm also kind of invisible to most because I stay off the radar most of the time and am not very responsive.
This was definitely an interesting post. Thanks for sharing.
