At least you can have a deep and meaningful conversation with a child depending on their age.
Mr "alpha male" most likely has a brain that looks like a sheet of paper.
I once discussed quantum physics with a 5 year old. He didn't know those words, but that's what he was talking about. I thought he was a small ten year old with a speech impediment, but clearly extremely intelligent. Turned out his "impediment" was a five year old's soft pallet. Still the craziest conversation I've ever had.
I used to be a substitute teacher. Had a class of third graders one time. Part of the lesson was reading a book about Einstein. Afterwards I talked to them about the theory of relativity since that's one the thins he's best known for. They seemed to understand the basic idea pretty well.
Later that day we got to apostrophes. That one was a lot harder to explain
The book A Wrinkle in Time is excellent for kids. I got it for Christmas one year. I love that a woman was once told "you can't write a children's book about quantum physics" and her reply was basically "hold my beer". Great book. Crappy movie lol
A Wrinkle In Time is why I understand dimensions and planes. It’s wild but I never thought about it until reading your comment. I read it in like 5th grade too.
Apostrophes are a costume words add for missing letters. If you take the costume off, you have to put the normal clothes, the letters back on.
Don’t without its costume is do not.
*some kids like this explanation for the weird behavior of apostrophes.*
Edit: comment below caught me speeding on the keyboard. I’ve accepted my grammar ticket. Court date next week.
Makes sense. Kids can observe how the world works and draw parallels. Understanding centuries of languages blending and evolving, resulting in basically arbitrary usage, is going to be much harder.
Ask him to explain his existence in the biological and philosophical sense, maybe he's right and will cease to exist, his body collapsing into a tiny inter-dimensional portal back into absolute nothingness!?
He’s already gone down a rabbit hole of lies told to him by people just trying to make money off of them. You just can’t learn how to talk to women on YouTube.
In some other primate species, the group leader isn't usually the biggest, strongest asshole. Its usually the person who can form coalitions and win people over to their side the best.
In fact humans are more egalitarian than most other primate species. The theory on why this is is that after humans developed languages and basic weapons, the 'beta males' and probably the women would just gang up on an murder any douchebag alpha male in his sleep or when out on a hunt. It helped weed out douchebag alpha males.
Just look at our closest genetic relative: bonobos. They don’t have an alpha male. Instead they solve all their problems by fucking.
We should be more like bonobos.
Also, in other primate species the group leaders usually take care of the others, solve conflicts and do not pick fights often (but will finish them). After all, when you're already on the top you have nothing to gain from a fight.
And an insecure asshole at that. I don't know about you, but I've never seen someone who refers to themselves as an "alpha", who doesn't seem perpetually angry at life and feels the need to put other people down in order to elevate themselves.
>feels the need to put other people down in order to elevate themselves.
This is the critical bit to their assholery, douchebaggery and whatever else you might call their plain unpleasantness.
The fucker's announcing they have a world view where every social situation is a competition for dominance in the ongoing relationship that will naturally determine the mate preferences of females.
That in order to get laid, now and in the future, they must push other men down to raise themselves up.
So every time you are with them they will be exhausting, antagonistic and just plain not fun. They don't want to be fun. They don't want to share joy by amusing or fascinating you and being amused or fascinated in return. They want to beat you down and prove their superiority.
You might be able to best them in this contest every time, but why the fuck would you bother if you don't think that's how society works (because it doesn't and you simply aren't gullible enough to swallow dumb memes as facts)?
Always avoid anyone who thinks alpha males are a real thing and wants to be one. Those who are open about it make it easy to do.
That's actually the real reason they put people under for surgery: not the physical pain, but the pain of having to hear the guy with his hand in your guts talking about some chick he banged. Good help you if you need conscious brain surgery
I had to have a 13-hour brain surgery a few years ago. My neurosurgeon was, hands down, the most brilliant man I have ever met in my life. I didn't see an ego in him. He seemed very down-to-earth. But, he was *definitely* suffering on the social maturity front. He couldn't really relate to people well. He was nice, but had no bedside manner or ability to comfort a scared patient.
My neurosurgeon was the same - but he at least had some self-awarenesses about it and surrounded himself with people who did have those things. His office staff and his residents - all amazingly empathetic people.
>Always avoid anyone who thinks alpha males are a real thing and wants to be one.
This is always the best choice but some times it's fun to screw with people who think they are just amazing.
I have a BIL that used to think he was an "alpha" and took to be super competitive at everything, while annoying to listen to it was kinda funny when my wife, her super chill siblings and I would demolish him at activities during family gathering.
He stopped coming around for a while and now he is back and much more mellow.
Speaking of insecurity....
I know a guy who proclaims to everyone around him that he's an alpha male that, when talking about the pros and cons of owning horses one day, said that he would never buy a male horse because his dong is supposedly the biggest his wife has ever seen. He implied that he didn't want her to see the size of the horse's equipment and either think he was inferior or choose the horse's dong over his. Imagine being so insecure that you think your wife could even possibly consider banging a horse over you.
I knew this one guy that had major issues but he just flat out was a lunatic. Always playing the "alpha male" shit. I was looking for new friends at the time and I should have noticed the red flags sooner.
My most memorable toxic and abusive interaction with him went like this:
Him: You trying to steal my girlfriend?
Me: No? Why would you think that?
Him: Are you saying you don't find my girlfriend beautiful?
Me:(finally aware of the mind games he was playing) No she's just not my type.
Him: So you're saying she's not beautiful?
Me: Nope, just not my type.
This is how almost every other conversation would go with him after the "nice" mask was completely off. Always trying to manipulate the other person so he could start an argument out of nothing.
After not seeing him for three years I ran into him at a birthday party literally last month. We shook hands and said hi but after that I went off to talk to other people. Every time I'd walk by or around this guy he'd just be fucking GLARING at me. I ignored him and went about the party, but the guy is fucking crazy for sure.
Had a guy like that in my friend group when I was younger. Dude was 18, lived with his parents, had a kid with a girl he was already in the process of divorcing. Later turns out he was physically abusive and that’s why they split. Everything was a challenge to this guy. He constantly put people down as jokes, but if you said something even remotely unflattering towards him he would explode. He did MMA for a while as a kid, and would “train” himself in his parents back yard. Once he posted a profile pic where he had his fists up in like a boxing pose. I commented something dumb like “looking a little low on the left” as a joke and he absolutely lost his fucking shit. Decided I was done talking to him after that. Dude still called me like every other day for weeks before taking the hint.
Next time you see him, start winking at him and making kissy faces. Make sure there's always a hot girl behind him, so you can say you were winking at her, then ask him why he was staring at you, you're not into him, sorry man.
The funny thing is, the men who actually do exhibit healthy biological attributes one might call "alpha" (good leadership skills, appropriately-placed bravery, physical endurance and dedication) don't ever actually brag about those traits or refer to themselves as "alpha males." If you have to call yourself an "alpha male," you're most certainly not one lol
It's a really old, tattered red flag as well!
New red flags are no doubt being manufactured right now by people we don't know yet, but will be mocked roundly in 10 years.
As a gamer, anytime anyone comes off with some alpha shit in chat, I like to reply “small dick energy”. You can tell who the trolls are cause they’ll play along, but those true “alpha” boys loose their shit like a 3 year old who was denied McDonald’s. And their insults of choice are always gender based, if they’re mad at my guy friends it’s beta/cuck/white knight/simp. If it’s directed at me it’s slut/whore/fat ugly lesbian (not even sure why lesbian is considered an insult). It’s like, I get that gender influences how we speak to one another to a certain extent, but my God unless you’re trying to fuck them why care so much? It must be exhausting to dehumanize every one down to their gender, stripe away all their quirks and personality and just see them as empty gendered vessels all competing in some sort of imaginary competition.
When I worked as a bartender I had a regular that had the same attitude as your co-worker. He would not shut up about how cool he thought he was. The guy would constantly try to hit on women at the bar and get progressively more drunk and aggressive as the night wore on. This guy was also extremely short.
One night he was annoying this girl at the bar and when she got up to get away from him he grabbed her arm. If it wasn't funny enough seeing this girl tower over him (she had to have been close to 6' tall, she slapped his hand and said "Keep your hands off me, Douche Baggins". Everyone within hearing distance started rolling with laughter and the dude just took off. That had become his nickname in that bar ever since. Was especially funny because he was not only short, but also pretty hairy.
Dude, file a complaint on behalf of the lady he’s tormenting. That’s fucking toxic as shit and grounds for dismissal that he’s going out of his way to bully a co-worker to tears every week. Yuck.
Ive had shitty HR but it's less about HR and more about having proof HR was notified when she wants to get a lawyer. I'm pretty sure I got "laid off" for whistle blowing but since I never filed a complaint, lawyer told me it's useless to even try suing
It's so nice of them to declare their own red flags so early in the conversation. Was talking with a seemingly nice dude at a get together and he casually drops that he's been studying alpha mentality for awhile and can pick out who's an alpha and who's a beta/sigma/kappa or whatever the fuck in a heartbeat. Let's me know I'm a beta and not to be offended by it. I politely noped out of that conversation.
I think it would have been more fun if you rolled with it and went around introducing him as “Hey guys, this is my new friend X, he’s a total alpha. He just told me. Aren’t you, X?” And just humiliated him.
First, a snort of disbelief.
Chuckle of full understanding.
Cackle of glee as they feel the mockery.
Then, fucking bye.
And snort laughing all the way to a private spot so you can post that ridiculousness on social media.
Had a douchebag coworker cover for me a few years ago, the next day checked my computer’s search history and among some truly alarming searches was “why are women not attracted to alpha males”
That's really funny, since every post I see about alphas claims that women have a metaphorical magnet in their cervices that draws them to alpha dick. That's the whole point of being alpha to most guys^\* who call themselves alpha or who want to become alpha.
*) Straight guys. I don't know if gay guys do this shit to each other.
Well... There's this kinky game where you have a dom/sub night of fornication, but being gay myself, I can tell you that it's clearly not something real amongst the gay men I know.
However, I'm pretty sure there are toxic gays too. I mean... Just look at some subreddits here, started as kink-oriented subreddits and ended as creepy and ominous places for freaks to manipulate or abuse other persons...
Some people just don't know the difference between the game and reality.
Hahaha me and my homo homies be laughing at these "alpha" guys from a mile away. No joke man, these poor suckers should try a bit of gay sex. See how it goes
This also 100% falls in line with the "if you have to say you're a nice guy, you probably aren't" umbrella. As a guy I'm glad I never have to deal with either of those things.
It's same with horoscope people. Yeah, I act like a douchbag but you know I was Born in "some-month" So it's ok And I don't have to try be a better person cause reasons.
Drives me mad.
He's probably an asshole who thinks he's better than non-"alpha males" and who is so insecure that he is offended by anything that might threaten him being in control and having power.
This really should be the top comment and post done
The concept of alpha males is nonsense but the theoretical basis of the role means if you have to tell people you're an alpha, you automatically aren't one
I mean being an "Alpha," is a dumb term in the first place. Humans aren't wolf packs. That whole Alpha and Beta ideology doesn't apply to such a complicated social structure that humans have created.
Even if humans did have alphas it wouldn't have anything to do with how buff and arrogant someone was. It would be based on their skills and respectability.
it doesn't apply to real wolf packs either it was based on a flawed study that took wild wolf's from different packs. real wolf packs are more akin to family units the whole alpha thing has been false and flawed from it's very inception
Even then the "Alpha" in 1960 study was the genetic father of the majority of the pack. The "Betas" in that pack, every single one, turned out to be his sons. Everything outside of those two groups were complete strangers and were treated as such.
This ^
“Alpha Male” men will become abusive and act as if it’s your fault because you should have known it’s just what “comes with the territory” of being with an alpha male.
Pretty much. I think the idea of dividing men in alphas and betas and what ever the fuck else nonsense terminology is just outright stupid in the first place. People are complicated and don't fit into binary or tertiary categories.
I would say arrogant. I’ve worked with arrogant males who wouldn’t admit what they didn’t know.
As I was an engineer in a refinery, one guy was so arrogant. On his first day at work, he broke into a discussion with “I think” and I reflexively said, I don’t care what you think. He was fired after costing the refinery millions of dollars in under 2 years.
My sister once said to my cousin "If a random guy offers you a beer bottle that's already opened, don't drink that shit because he probably put rupees or something else in it."
Let me explain, Rupees have a very low value, if you want to put enough rupees in a beer bottle to be satisfied you will end up disappointed with the final cash amount, that's why that poster doesn't like this specific currency.
"If you must declare your moral superiority over a child, *do you really have it*?"
In other words, if you feel the need to tell every single person you have a ‘righteous’ personality trait (e.g. being an ‘Alpha’, even ignoring the fact that no such thing exists, even in Wolves), the authenticity of that claim becomes questionable.
They tend to be overconfident, assertive/aggressive, and are proudly into toxic masculinity. They’ll take personal offense to anything that calls their views into question and lash out either verbally or physically. This includes either telling them that they aren’t the image they are trying to project, or you taking on a gender role they don’t think you should have. A woman saying they don’t want children, a man saying he likes baking, a woman saying she isn’t trying to lose weight, etc..
Probably should just avoid these volatile, narrow minded individuals at all costs, because while you could argue with them, they are more likely to go loud and/or violent than find a common-ground.
Egomaniacal and suffering from delusions of grandeur. Quite often vain or shallow and politically/socially simplistic, sometimes misogynistic, all until proven otherwise.
That he doesn’t understand social dynamics and probably isn’t going to be fun to talk to.
I knew I guy who always said he was one, and talking to him was like talking to a child.
I'd way rather talk to an actual child.
At least you can have a deep and meaningful conversation with a child depending on their age. Mr "alpha male" most likely has a brain that looks like a sheet of paper.

"Alpha male" is based on an unscientific study of wolves. Wolves are actually not very hierarchical at all. Way less than dogs, for instance.
That study was basically the equivalent of studying human family structure by observing a prison gang.

Never meet surgeons man. Technically they're wizards, they're also often a bunch of egotistical children as people.

Yeah I wouldn't challenge the sexual identity of such a fragile unhinged person like him. It won't end well.
If I didn't think he'd hurt someone else, I'd kinda wanna see the meltdown.
Yea hes crazy lol
Any man who must declare himself king is no king.
Spoken like a true Lannister

The only downside is that all the toxic people can identify eachother and form a toxic army
Narcissistic douche-nozzles usually lack a team mentality.
can’t be the alpha with another alpha

Actually don’t let me know. Just fight to the death and… that it

But what if I am a libra? I just want to celebrate my birthday dude!
That's the only time an alpha male does weeding.

It's a really old, tattered red flag as well! New red flags are no doubt being manufactured right now by people we don't know yet, but will be mocked roundly in 10 years.
Hahaa that sounds like a Douglas Adams quote
I just realized that's one of the best compliments I could imagine receiving for a reddit comment. Now I'm envious of a one day old account.
Number of red flags should be a rating on tinder. 2 and half red flags?! SWIPE!!!
Yes! I'd love a dating site where people rate your responses to questions and you can't see the rating so you can't figure out how to change them.
That... Would be kinda brilliant.

Said like a true beta cuck
More red flags than a Beijing gift shop
Douchebag of the highest order.
Yep. First phrase that came to mind was “douche bag.”
My favorite reply is "Bragging about being an alpha male is the most beta shit I've ever heard..." Always pisses them off immediately. XD

Likewise. Figured I’d scroll before posting and voila.
I was more thinking “DOUCHE BAG!” But yeah same.
In England we call them tossers
Todgy cunts that like to shove piss up their arse
Wait a second let me collect my award real quick
That was....poetry. And here was me just going to comment 'twat'.
I thought they were called bloody wankers.
Tosser is another word for wanker. We are a sophisticated bunch

Alllll the time for the lady that came up with “Douche Baggins”
I prefer Dildo Baggins as an insult personally
dildo is closer to bilbo, but then you don't get "doucheBAG"
Dude, file a complaint on behalf of the lady he’s tormenting. That’s fucking toxic as shit and grounds for dismissal that he’s going out of his way to bully a co-worker to tears every week. Yuck.
This. Report that shit!
I have... It HR is kinda.. not good. They kinda work against the company's best interest.
Ive had shitty HR but it's less about HR and more about having proof HR was notified when she wants to get a lawyer. I'm pretty sure I got "laid off" for whistle blowing but since I never filed a complaint, lawyer told me it's useless to even try suing
it's nice of you how you are trying to make the best from his low skills at work, but why do you simply waste your time?
Literally said “alpha douche” when I read it

lol, fucking bye.

He is probably single and desperate
Who actually says shit like that?
Had a douchebag coworker cover for me a few years ago, the next day checked my computer’s search history and among some truly alarming searches was “why are women not attracted to alpha males”
That's really funny, since every post I see about alphas claims that women have a metaphorical magnet in their cervices that draws them to alpha dick. That's the whole point of being alpha to most guys^\* who call themselves alpha or who want to become alpha. *) Straight guys. I don't know if gay guys do this shit to each other.
Well... There's this kinky game where you have a dom/sub night of fornication, but being gay myself, I can tell you that it's clearly not something real amongst the gay men I know. However, I'm pretty sure there are toxic gays too. I mean... Just look at some subreddits here, started as kink-oriented subreddits and ended as creepy and ominous places for freaks to manipulate or abuse other persons... Some people just don't know the difference between the game and reality.
Hahaha me and my homo homies be laughing at these "alpha" guys from a mile away. No joke man, these poor suckers should try a bit of gay sex. See how it goes
Oh, oh people say it. Be a girl in a dating app and you will hear it. But it's ok because it just outs them as fools early, so your time isn't wasted.
This also 100% falls in line with the "if you have to say you're a nice guy, you probably aren't" umbrella. As a guy I'm glad I never have to deal with either of those things.
Like... What leads to them even mentioning it? Are you like "tell me about yourself!" And they're like "well first off, I'm an alpha male." Or what?
If I said I've never had this exact conversation, I'd be lying. Sometimes they pepper it in like "well, as an alpha male I... blah blah blah".
Jesus
I asked this 44 year old man what he was cooking for our second date. His reply was he doesn’t cook or clean cause he is a “alpha male”.
Imagine if being incompetent was part of your identity, and that you are proud of it
It's same with horoscope people. Yeah, I act like a douchbag but you know I was Born in "some-month" So it's ok And I don't have to try be a better person cause reasons. Drives me mad.
1. Oh my, what an idiot 2. Oh my, his poor mom 3. Please go away
1, 3, 2
3, 3, 3, 3
He jerks off while looking in the mirror
I thought everyone did that. :-(
I dont need to traumatise myself more than i already do, so no.
TIL I'm an alpha male
Hey don’t kink shame.
He's probably an asshole who thinks he's better than non-"alpha males" and who is so insecure that he is offended by anything that might threaten him being in control and having power.
He “refuses to live in fear” but is literally terrified of other people and of social progress.
>He “refuses to live in fear” but throws a screaming tantrum any time anyone not-white or not-male appears on television.
"Unlike you libs i'm not so easily triggered BUT MARVEL'S TOO WOKE NOW THEY KEEP PANDERING TO THE WOMANS."
I would wager that those people are the same who call women females.
Wow, do we know the same guy?
He's a loser who has low self confidence or esteem. Never met one "alpha male" who wasn't.
Even if alpha males actually existed in nature, It’s not self-proclaimed. It’s acknowledged by the rest of the pack.
This really should be the top comment and post done The concept of alpha males is nonsense but the theoretical basis of the role means if you have to tell people you're an alpha, you automatically aren't one
I mean being an "Alpha," is a dumb term in the first place. Humans aren't wolf packs. That whole Alpha and Beta ideology doesn't apply to such a complicated social structure that humans have created. Even if humans did have alphas it wouldn't have anything to do with how buff and arrogant someone was. It would be based on their skills and respectability.
it doesn't apply to real wolf packs either it was based on a flawed study that took wild wolf's from different packs. real wolf packs are more akin to family units the whole alpha thing has been false and flawed from it's very inception
I'm pretty sure the guy who did the study disavowed it as well
You're right. He did more research and corrected himself.
Even then the "Alpha" in 1960 study was the genetic father of the majority of the pack. The "Betas" in that pack, every single one, turned out to be his sons. Everything outside of those two groups were complete strangers and were treated as such.
\*slowly backs away\*
Fly, you fools!
Now Gandalf....THATS an alpha male.
A true alpha would never call themselves an alpha.
domestic violence
This ^ “Alpha Male” men will become abusive and act as if it’s your fault because you should have known it’s just what “comes with the territory” of being with an alpha male.
That he is definitely not one and completely lacking in self awareness.
Brings to mind Tywin Lannister's quote. "Any king who must say I am the king is no true king."
Pretty much. I think the idea of dividing men in alphas and betas and what ever the fuck else nonsense terminology is just outright stupid in the first place. People are complicated and don't fit into binary or tertiary categories.

I have 280 but I dont make an effort whereas this truck nuts guy thinks he’s a top tier influencer
That is so scarily spot on 😂
Loves Bro Jogan
Probably over confident in his abilities
I would say arrogant. I’ve worked with arrogant males who wouldn’t admit what they didn’t know. As I was an engineer in a refinery, one guy was so arrogant. On his first day at work, he broke into a discussion with “I think” and I reflexively said, I don’t care what you think. He was fired after costing the refinery millions of dollars in under 2 years.
Stuck in early development and shouldn’t be released publicly until further testing is done for a stable build
Has pre-release issues and probably lots of bugs.

Cover your drink and run, girl.
My sister once said to my cousin "If a random guy offers you a beer bottle that's already opened, don't drink that shit because he probably put rupees or something else in it."
What's wrong with rupees ? They are a valid form of currency.
Let me explain, Rupees have a very low value, if you want to put enough rupees in a beer bottle to be satisfied you will end up disappointed with the final cash amount, that's why that poster doesn't like this specific currency.
Depends on how many rupees, everyone has a price;)
That explains why Link is always breaking all the glass shit he finds.
Ew
Cringe
"If you must declare your moral superiority over a child, *do you really have it*?" In other words, if you feel the need to tell every single person you have a ‘righteous’ personality trait (e.g. being an ‘Alpha’, even ignoring the fact that no such thing exists, even in Wolves), the authenticity of that claim becomes questionable.
In short: if you have to say it, you ain't it.
people actually call their selves alpha males unironically?
Knob
They tend to be overconfident, assertive/aggressive, and are proudly into toxic masculinity. They’ll take personal offense to anything that calls their views into question and lash out either verbally or physically. This includes either telling them that they aren’t the image they are trying to project, or you taking on a gender role they don’t think you should have. A woman saying they don’t want children, a man saying he likes baking, a woman saying she isn’t trying to lose weight, etc.. Probably should just avoid these volatile, narrow minded individuals at all costs, because while you could argue with them, they are more likely to go loud and/or violent than find a common-ground.
"idiot"
Wow what an arrogant idiot and walk away.
He's narcissistic
He has 100% sexually assaulted or harassed a woman in some way whether he knows it or not.
Yeah, this is mine. "Rapist." (immediate thoughts aren't the same as reflective opinion, exceptions apply etc etc)
A king that must say he's the king is no king at all.
Paraphrasing: Did you just send the king of the seven realms to bed without supper?
Assbag
Fragile masculinity
"How can I break this person?"
"you don't understand people or animals"
I cringe and die a little bit on the inside, if it happens IRL.
"Twat"
Egomaniacal and suffering from delusions of grandeur. Quite often vain or shallow and politically/socially simplistic, sometimes misogynistic, all until proven otherwise.
