What do you think of men who are desperate to prove that they are alpha males?

As a man, I believe the only way a man can truly show to the world how Alpha & masculine he is, by being a well respected upstanding gentleman.

How does one be an upstanding gentleman? By showcasing kindness, speaking up for the little guy, not selling himself short, uplifting others even if it is a total stranger, be respectful & responsible, learn from his mistakes and shortcomings to come back stronger as he left not as he entered… To compromise / reach a point of common interest and to be honest with himself so he can be honest with the world he interacts with. Kindness, dignity, honesty, charisma, and above all else a being of character. Thank you.

Let’s not put down others or push others away, let’s uplift everyone including the men. God Bless these young & wonderful handsome men!

[MisterWack]

Also don’t value my words above others, value yourself & your self worth to know you are beautiful in your own way and will bring a better day by being the best version yourself you can be. Full of warmth, resolve, and beauty. Thank you!

[mobiusforniner]

Agree 💯 percent here. There’s this common misconception alpha means some kind of bad boy gang banger. Not the case. A true so called alpha male is someone who commands respect. Women want to be with him and men want to be him.

[MisterWack]

@mobiusforniner I stick to the principles of my youth as a ‘Gen Z’, “it takes a village to raise a child”. If it takes a village, let it be a kind & warm & prosperous village not one of hate, anger, manipulation and sticking to a false belief narrative that your success should come at another’s expense… I agree with you on the Alpha “bad boy gang banger” comment and that a true man is someone who commands respect! Amen on that.
Women will love him for a boy he used to be because that small boy grew up to be a great man. I wish each and everyone of our boys to have a bright future as a respectful, dignified, strong spirited, courageous, wise, young at heart man! By doing that, he feels fulfilled in his heart & soul & body & mind which feels better than any approval from others.

[Pete671]

Sir, you have wisdom way beyond your years!!!

[MisterWack]

@Pete671
With me, it is not hard to reach a place of honesty, compassion, and respect also genuine words coming from a place of empathy once you reach inside yourself. When we do that and go, “how would I like someone to approach me & have a conversation?”, once you do that… You come across knowing more than you know while also having more substance than the average internet troll. I have little wisdom, though I do have ways of finding a place of empathy which navigates towards the uplifting promise & solution since I care about these young boys and I want them to succeed.

[Pete671]

What a great viewpoint, an example comes to mind of concientious objectors who work as medics in war,,,

[MisterWack]

@Pete671 Very lovely example, I am pleased with the compliment.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Necessary for civilization, crucial for our security in our communities. Hopefully they’re not too low IQ or a mid-whit trying to mog all of the time. Those are annoying but necessary for any combat fire team or wrestling team or defense in football.

[mandyfire98]

Spot them a mile away. Extremely insecure and they're usually very outspoken and annoying and we all see it's fake. It's the funniest part about it. They're trying so hard to be an "alpha" but they're always going to be a fake. They're actually what they view as a "beta" instead. Because if you have to fake it and it's not natural then you're the opposite. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[Notherndude84]

That’s a great perspective. When these guys converse with other men they always have to prove they’re smarter and stronger. If they actually were Alpha males they wouldn’t have to prove anything to other men. Talking to the opposite sex should be natural and flow nicely. I imagine from a woman’s point of view these guys seem stupid and cocky.

[mandyfire98]

Yep and most of all fake

[236color]

@Notherndude84 I work with Veterans, you see it there all the time. Anybody telling you what a bad ass he is, isn't.

[mandyfire98]

Agree

[avery58]

They're actually insecure about something, whatever that may be, and trying to make up for it.

A truly masculine man doesn't have to be extra to prove who he is, because he doesn't care about the opinions of others. And he also has morals and values.

[lightbulb27]

testosterone!

Lets have them an all out alpha male competition in extreme sports and see whom survives 10 rounds. That is your alpha male... the one sitting up in the booth doing the play by plays:) haha...

[BetaBucks]

Any guy that tries to convince someone they're an alpha male, is not one. Not caring about what others think about them, is a characteristic of the alpha male generalization. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[molonski2]

I think I know you kind of guys you are referring to , I experienced many of them in my 20s and 30s , I can now confirm 100% with hindsight as a measure that these guys are really just soft cock , aggressive , pussies , with low self esteem and a poor self image , I will occasionally see some of these fools in the gym and around..

Its not only complete stupidity , its simply not real.

[ohsheeT]

I laugh at them I've seen this happen so many times and these guys are just bad bad boys they think in their head because their alpha they're so busy trying to show off and prove it that they look like fools they act like fools because they are fool re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[Lliam]

They think everything is about status, materialism, and competition. Their values are messed up. They don't understand the things that have true value.

[Goahead76]

How would you know they were quote "desperate" unless they specifically told you this, which is a really bizarre scenario.
Otherwise I would just assume they are driven to workout or whatever other things they enjoy, no judgement.

[Unit1]

That is surprisingly accurate!

[Anonymous]

As a guy, im done trying to talk to people, I dislike people, people are uptight, people are not loyal, people are haters, people are lazy, people are not genuine, I don't have to prove anything to women because im done pursuing and fluffing her massive ego to put me in the friend zone because her main mindset is to be toxic and deal with a guy whos going to play games back with her, that's psychotic behaviour.

[NathanDavis]

they're desperate males, yes...

not men yet...

[msmissydc]

If he believes in alpha male crap he is already a complete idiot. If he wants to prove that he is one, he just proves he is the complete opposite of what he thinks he is.

[HelpfulWoman]

1) they're never the actual "alpha male" typing they're trying so desperately to be.
2) fucking dumbass to believe in it.
3) will always be a sad sexist.

[WhiteSteve]

That if they were really alpha they wouldn’t have to say anything, we’d all just know it

[WhiteSteve]

Also, just generally “lol” at the idea of “alpha”, “beta”, “sigma” males

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir, I agree wholeheartedly with you -- and while I'm at it, may I please tell you that you are the personification of an alpha male? Yeah, I know that's not exactly a revelation, but...

[Smashingdoozy]

I think I'm not interested in being around them at all

[katiesmuff]

Not much! They can do as they want and it's no skin off of me

[Zack-Bann]

An alpha male is not someone who’s desperate


So their desperation to do it is precisely why they’re pathetic

[RavVid]

An irony of life is that if you try to be perceived in a certain way you won't be perceived that way.

[OlderAndWiser]

Anyone who feels he need to prove he is an "alpha male" is obviously not a confident leader.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

We all have our insecurities and deal with them in different ways

[Danzigdawson]

Frighten little boys hiding behind a facade of strenght, all of them.

[Passportbro5999]

This answer is very obvious. Animal male primates (aka apes) alpha males get to pair bond more.

[Anonymous]

I mean I feel bad for them but compare them to chihuahuas. They wanna be a big dog but in reality they’re tiny little purse dogs and super easy to rile

[andreasderjuengere]

I think that... they waste their time.

The good news: it's not MY time :D

[Jay-_-]

If you are an alpha male u don't have to prove shit to nobody. That's what I think. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[TheCoffeeisHot]

They're wasting their time because people in general and especially women know when they are desperate to prove it.

[RyanEC]

I think guys who take this too far have some disappointed in themselves and feel the need to flex to feel better.
It seems like the redpill movement is mostly about this.

[mobiusforniner]

Real alphas don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Im an alpha and im not desperate to prove anything to anyone. I don't seek validation from anyone but myself. I could care less what anybody thinks of me re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[genericname85]

They've fallen for the wrong way of showing that you're valuable as a person and probably have self esteem problems.

[DrPepper12]

They're very entertaing! re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[Paul09]

I despise those types of males. Who do you think you are? The word alpha wa created by men that wanted a excuse to act all entitled. Yet ! Plenty of women love those types of men way more.

[Anonymous]

Because they want to be an alpha but I suppose if they were an alpha they wouldn't have to prove it they would just be

[ProbablyClueless]

Sounds like some distinctly un-Alpha behavior to me

[Jamie05rhs]

Obviously they aren't. Lol re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

[Pete671]

They probably aren't, displaying alphaness is completely different to being alpha,,,

Someone who is formidable does not need to roar for you to know it. Just look at Mike Tyson.

[Thidnfosj]

They look like angry fools to me. Little boy men.

[Kingofkings1992]

Pathetic. Alpha male don’t exist. Never have, never will. There’s just men and women

[Anonymous]

Feeling a need to PROVE you're an alpha male is bullshit. Feeling a need to BECOME an alpha male is natural and positive.

[Anonymous]

No difference of what I think of women who are desperate to prove they're anti strong men re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

I think the same of them as I do the women they attract like moths to a flame.

[George0399]

They are insecure about themself they have to be more confident in themself.

Broken and severely insecure.

There are a lot of guys like that on GAG 🤣

[Garud]

they die or get seriously injured early

[FreyaRed]

Masculinity complex

[slatyb]

They are anything but.

[Radiate143]

I don't think of them.

[exitseven]

If you have to prove it you miss the point.

[Dargil]

If you are, you don't have to prove it.

[chocolatetwopointo]

they seem gay, they want aproval from other men

[LiamJHayden]

They are mostly Chihuahuas.

[RedInnocent69]

Generally unsuccessful

[Ladsin2]

What do you mean by desperate and prove?

[noohair]

Real Alpha's have nothing to prove.
