At What Age Men Stop Obsessing Over Becoming Alphas?

Question

Aka the wolf classification system that's transforming men worldwide into robots, ATM machines, tyrants etc and blaming evolution.  If evolutionary perspective is your argument, don't bother.

it's not really an obsession, more like men taking on their responsibility and fulfilling their societal male role. it may look like an obsession when some of the younger men boast about being alpha but that's not what real alphas do. they let their actions speak for them. not their words.

besides, we need more men to be leaders as opposed to doormats. leadership is often misconstrued for tyranny except one is voluntary and the other is enforced.

for anyone who doesn't believe alphas and betas exist, just as a small sample itself, I'd say go watch any interview with Mike Tyson and watch how calmly he talks and how the interviewers are either nervous or trying to appear as confident as he is but deep down you can tell they are intimidated by him.

I've noticed that physical age and mental/spiritual maturity aren't often related.

But there's also a valid and healthy way to use the term that applies to humans. For example a person A) is unemployed, unhealthy, depressed, has no interests and person B) Has a good job, eat's healthy and exercises, has interests and is driven. Clearly one of them is more "Alpha".

And if that's how you understand the term, you should never stop "obsessing" to be a better version of yourself. The people who wants to be tyrannical are insecure losers trying to achieve power in order to abuse it. But there's nothing wrong with power itself.

I absolutely love the zodiac sign comparison. It's so true.

It has nothing to do with age, just the individual man.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

There isn’t really an age that kind of behavior stops. It’s more about maturity and feeling comfortable in his own skin

ArchivalMars2 · Answer

I hate to tell you this but what you've asked here is a really stupid way to look at this no offense. The short answer is that there isn't one, there isn't an age when men suddenly stop trying to become "alpha". This is a mentality, and the mentality of becoming "alpha" has very little to do with age and is more about mindset and maturity. There are men of all ages who buy into this concept from early 20s all the way to their late 30s or even 50s, some have done it more recently than others but again doesn't really change the fact that it had nothing to do with age.

DEondeBeaumont · Answer

I never even tried to. you're looking at too much internet culture. Many things on the internet are bs, and ordinary people dont believe in them.

Please don't spend too much time analyzing the internet because most of it is made by trolls or scam artist dating coaches.

Andrew Tate pays escorts to flirt with him and tries to get men with bad dates to pay for his coaching lessons.

Yeah I also said 25+ in the poll. At 28 almost 29, yeah it hasn't bothered me, just because I think around 26 I'd accepted being how I am and I'm cool with being me :) 🙂

DavidRaul · Answer

They never do. These are stupid terms to supress other males because they think they are better but they are not. They are just becoming dumber and dumber. I notice videos recommendation of "how to be an alpha male". Dude just let be a man. Everything else is bullshit. Every person has a different potential.

SnowedIn · Answer

I love this question! For those who do obsess, if they stop, I'd say late 30s. (Selected 40s as the best fit.)

Evan64 · Answer

I never cared. Because I have autism and a cleft palate... I am barely seen as human. Therefore, it's really not my duty to vote or be concerned with the alpha/beta nonsense. If I don't count, why should it matter?

AdithyaR · Answer

Your last option is spot on. It's literally the male equivalent of zodiac signs. It's very unlikely those guys will grow out of it cause it's the only way they feel good about themselves.

NathanDavis · Answer

second, there's no second...

just do not confuse real men with these online dummies

es20490446e · Answer

Nothing I do usually is because of me wanting to become anything. It's not about me, but rather about what I want to accomplish. I want the things I do to somehow better than usual, that they are done with grace.

Looking cool as result of that I consider an automatic process which I don't really have to worry about.

Makeushiver · Answer

There is a brief window between almost death and death that guys vanity is not the foremost thing in the minds of men. Scientists speculate that is the Dilaudid prescribed for pain that cause drastic behavior like shutting up. Scientists again feek that the melodrama of death itself along with full body orgasm that Dilaudid offers is a likely explanation

Summeroflove · Answer

I don’t know. I find it cringe. It’s more of a individual thing and not every guy.  Just be you. Sure. We should want to improve. But this behavior is silly

ChiTown33 · Answer

Sounds like it's just the type of men you hang around with. I've NEVER been this way. Nor most the guys I associate with.

But guys do have a pecking order of sorts similar to women. That's just human nature and will never change regardless of age.

I was never "obsessed" about becoming an Alpha. Sure, I had some "I want to be the best" in specific things phase but I never wanted to be an "Alpha". So I guess not all men are the same...

JayParris · Answer

I don't think it's an age. It's maturity, intelligence, and attitude. At some point you stop caring how others see you and just live your life how you want. Some people never grow out of it.

exitseven · Answer

I never bought in to the whole Alpha male thing. I just went my own way and did what I wanted. If somebody wanted to call me a alpha or a beta or even a gamma I could care less.

xJeremyx · Answer

Boys will never stop obsessing over that stuff. Men do not care. Whats more important is keeping your life in order, and thats that.

Smoothing · Answer

I wouldn't know because these are actually modern terminologies.  I always say, alpha... beta... My ass. Haha

slatyb · Answer

That obsession is not universal -- I haven't known any man who talks about it, but I went to college at 16 and I've been in the high tech bubble ever since. It feels like more of an obsession among unsuccessful men.

The classification doesn't even exist, the guy who came up with the classification for wolves later retracted it and lambasted it.

I don’t think I ever was obsessed with that, but I reckon that’s because I’m weird.
